Let’s dive into the install_themes_table_header action. This hook is part of the WordPress Install Themes list table header, and it’s a nifty tool for developers who want to add custom functionality at this stage of theme management. You can register it using add_action, typically in your theme’s functions.php or, better yet, in a custom WordPress Plugin. This way, your changes remain intact even if you update your theme.

Example 1: Basic Usage

Here’s a basic example of how to use the install_themes_table_header action. The function weplugins_execute_on_install_themes_table_header_event is triggered when this action occurs.

    function weplugins_execute_on_install_themes_table_header_event(){
        // Add your code here for execution during the install themes table header action.
    }
    add_action( "install_themes_table_header", "weplugins_execute_on_install_themes_table_header_event");
    

Example 2: Modifying the Header

Suppose you want to add a custom column header to the Install Themes table. You can achieve this by hooking into the install_themes_table_header action.

    function weplugins_add_custom_theme_column(){
        echo 'Custom Column';
    }
    add_action( "install_themes_table_header", "weplugins_add_custom_theme_column");
    

Example 3: Removing the Action

If you need to undo your customizations, you can remove the action using remove_action. Make sure to use the same function name, priority, and argument count.

    remove_action( "install_themes_table_header", "weplugins_execute_on_install_themes_table_header_event");
