How to use load-edit-link-categories-php action in WordPress

load-edit-link-categories-php action

To use the load-edit-link-categories-php action, you first have to register it using add_action. You can write this code into the functions.php of your activated theme or in a custom WordPress Plugin.

We at WePlugins always prefer to create a custom WordPress Plugin while using hooks so nothing breaks when you update your WordPress Theme in the future.

In the below live example, we have defined a function weplugins_execute_on_load-edit-link-categories-php_event and registered it using add_action. The first parameter load-edit-link-categories-php is the name of the hook, the second parameter weplugins_execute_on_load-edit-link-categories-php_event is the name of the function which 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 in the registered function.

Sometimes, you have to remove a registered hook, so you can use remove_action to remove the load-edit-link-categories-php action.

Parameters

• No parameters

Live Example 1: Basic Execution

Below is a basic example of how you can use this hook.

    function weplugins_execute_on_load_edit_link_categories_php_event() {
        // You can write code here to be executed when this action occurs in WordPress website according to your requirements.
    }
    // add the action
    add_action("load-edit-link-categories-php", "weplugins_execute_on_load_edit_link_categories_php_event");
    

Live Example 2: Removing the Hook

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

    remove_action("load-edit-link-categories-php", "weplugins_execute_on_load_edit_link_categories_php_event");
    

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

Live Example 3: Custom Action

Here’s an example where we perform a custom action when this hook is triggered.

    function weplugins_custom_action_on_load_edit_link_categories_php() {
        // Custom code to be executed.
        error_log("Custom action triggered on load-edit-link-categories-php");
    }
    // add the action
    add_action("load-edit-link-categories-php", "weplugins_custom_action_on_load_edit_link_categories_php");
