How to use install_plugins_table_header action in WordPress

install_plugins_table_header action

So, you want to know about the install_plugins_table_header action hook in WordPress? This hook is pretty handy as it fires before the Plugin Install table header pagination is displayed. To get started with this hook, you need to register it using add_action. You can add this code to the functions.php file of your active theme or create a custom WordPress plugin.

At WePlugins, we recommend creating a custom WordPress plugin for using hooks. This way, nothing breaks when you update your WordPress theme in the future.

Here’s a quick breakdown of how to use this hook. In the example below, we’ve defined a function called execute_on_install_plugins_table_header_event and registered it using add_action. The first parameter, install_plugins_table_header, is the name of the hook. The second parameter, execute_on_install_plugins_table_header_event, is the name of the function that needs to be called. The third parameter is the priority of calling the hook if the same hook is used multiple times, and the last parameter is the number of arguments (if any) to be passed to the registered function.

Sometimes, you might need to remove a registered hook. You can use remove_action to remove the install_plugins_table_header action.

Example 2: Removing the Action

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

    remove_action("install_plugins_table_header", "weplugins_execute_on_install_plugins_table_header_event");

Example 3: Conditional Execution

This example shows how to execute code conditionally within the hook.

    function weplugins_conditional_install_plugins_table_header_event(){
        if( is_admin() ){
            // Code to be executed only in the admin area
        }
    }
    // add the action
    add_action("install_plugins_table_header", "weplugins_conditional_install_plugins_table_header_event");
