How to use locale_stylesheet_uri filter in WordPress

locale_stylesheet_uri filter

Filters the localized stylesheet URI.

To use locale_stylesheet_uri filter, first you have to register it using add_filter. 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 weplugins_modify_locale_stylesheet_uri_defaults which takes 2 parameters and we registered using add_filter. The first parameter locale_stylesheet_uri is the name of the hook, the second parameter weplugins_modify_locale_stylesheet_uri_defaults 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_filter to remove locale_stylesheet_uri filter.

Parameters

Below are the 2 parameters required to use this hook.

• $stylesheet_uri : (string) Localized stylesheet URI.
• $stylesheet_dir_uri : (string) Stylesheet directory URI.

Live Example 1: Applying the Filter

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

    function weplugins_modify_locale_stylesheet_uri_defaults($stylesheet_uri, $stylesheet_dir_uri) { 
        // Update the $stylesheet_uri variable according to your website requirements and return this variable. 
        // You can modify the $stylesheet_uri variable conditionally too if you want.
        return $stylesheet_uri; 
    }
    // add the filter
    add_filter( "locale_stylesheet_uri", "weplugins_modify_locale_stylesheet_uri_defaults", 10, 2 );
    

Live Example 2: Removing the Filter

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

    remove_filter( "locale_stylesheet_uri", "weplugins_modify_locale_stylesheet_uri_defaults", 10, 2 );
    

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

Live Example 3: Conditional Modification

Example showing how to conditionally modify the stylesheet URI based on a specific condition.

    function weplugins_conditional_locale_stylesheet_uri($stylesheet_uri, $stylesheet_dir_uri) {
        if ( is_rtl() ) {
            $stylesheet_uri = $stylesheet_dir_uri . "/rtl-stylesheet.css";
        }
        return $stylesheet_uri;
    }
    add_filter( "locale_stylesheet_uri", "weplugins_conditional_locale_stylesheet_uri", 10, 2 );
