Example 1: Modifying Header Image Attributes

Here’s an example of how you can use this hook to modify header image attributes:

function weplugins_modify_get_header_image_tag_attributes_defaults($attr, $header) {
    // Update the $attr variable according to your website requirements

}

add_filter("get_header_image_tag_attributes", "weplugins_modify_get_header_image_tag_attributes_defaults", 10, 2);

Example 2: Conditional Attribute Modification

Sometimes you might want to modify the attributes conditionally. Here’s how you can do it:

function weplugins_conditional_modify_header_image_tag_attributes($attr, $header) {
    if (is_front_page()) {
        $attr['class'] .= ' front-page-header';
    }
    return $attr;
}
// Add the filter
add_filter("get_header_image_tag_attributes", "weplugins_conditional_modify_header_image_tag_attributes", 10, 2);

remove_filter("get_header_image_tag_attributes", "weplugins_modify_get_header_image_tag_attributes_defaults", 10, 2);

Please make sure to provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments while removing the hook callback.
