load-importer-importer action

The dynamic portion of the hook name, $importer, refers to the importer slug.

To use load-importer-importer action, first you have to register it using add_action. You can write this code into 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 execute_on_load-importer-importer_event and we registered it using add_action. The first parameter load-importer-importer is the name of the hook, the second parameter execute_on_load-importer-importer_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 load-importer-importer action.

Parameters

  • No parameters

Live Examples

Example 1: Basic Hook Usage

Below is an example of how you can use this hook.

    function weplugins_execute_on_load_importer_importer_event() {
        // You can write code here to be executed when this action occurs in your WordPress website according to your requirements.
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action("load-importer-importer", "weplugins_execute_on_load_importer_importer_event");
    

Example 2: Removing the Hook

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

    // Remove the action
    remove_action("load-importer-importer", "weplugins_execute_on_load_importer_importer_event");
    

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

Example 3: Conditional Hook Execution

Below is an example of how you can conditionally execute code when the action is triggered.

    function weplugins_conditional_load_importer_importer_event() {
        if (is_admin()) {
            // Execute only if in admin area
        }
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action("load-importer-importer", "weplugins_conditional_load_importer_importer_event");
