How to use login_footer action in WordPress

login_footer action

Fires in the login page footer.

To use login_footer 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 weplugins_execute_on_login_footer_event and we registered it using add_action. The first parameter login_footer is the name of the hook, The second parameter weplugins_execute_on_login_footer_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 login_footer action.

Parameters

• No parameters

Live Example 1

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

		function weplugins_execute_on_login_footer_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( "login_footer", "weplugins_execute_on_login_footer_event");
	

Live Example 2

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

		remove_action( "login_footer", "weplugins_execute_on_login_footer_event");
	

Live Example 3

Example of adding a message to the login footer.

		function weplugins_custom_login_footer_message() {
			echo '<p>Welcome to our custom login page!</p>';
		}
		add_action( 'login_footer', 'weplugins_custom_login_footer_message' );
	

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