So you’re diving into the world of WordPress hooks, huh? It’s quite an adventure, especially when you’re about to explore the get_theme_starter_content filter. This hook is like a hidden gem for WordPress developers who want to tweak the starter content of a theme. Let’s break it down with some practical examples and shed some light on how you can use it effectively.

Example 1: Modifying Starter Content

The first example demonstrates how to modify the starter content using this filter. By registering a custom function, you can tailor the starter content to meet your specific needs.

    function weplugins_modify_get_theme_starter_content_defaults($content, $config) { 
        // Customize the $content variable as needed
        return $content; 
    }
    // Add the filter
    add_filter("get_theme_starter_content", "weplugins_modify_get_theme_starter_content_defaults", 10, 2);
    

Example 2: Removing a Hook Callback

Sometimes, you might want to remove an existing hook callback. Here’s how you can achieve that using the remove_filter function.

    // Remove the filter
    remove_filter("get_theme_starter_content", "weplugins_modify_get_theme_starter_content_defaults", 10, 2);
    

Example 3: Applying the Filter Without Changes

If you just want to apply the filter without making any changes to the content, simply pass the content through the filter like this:

    apply_filters('get_theme_starter_content', $content, $config);
