How to use manage_sites_extra_tablenav action in WordPress

manage_sites_extra_tablenav action

Fires immediately following the closing “actions” div in the tablenav for the MS sites list table.

To use manage_sites_extra_tablenav 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.

At WePlugins, we 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_manage_sites_extra_tablenav_event which takes 1 parameter and we registered using add_action. The first parameter manage_sites_extra_tablenav is the name of the hook, the second parameter weplugins_execute_on_manage_sites_extra_tablenav_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 manage_sites_extra_tablenav action.

Parameters

Below the 1 parameter is required to use this hook.

• $which : (string) The location of the extra table nav markup: ‘top’ or ‘bottom’.

Live Example 1

Here’s how you can use this hook:

        function weplugins_execute_on_manage_sites_extra_tablenav_event($which){
            // You can write code here to be executed when this action occurs in WordPress. Use the parameters received in the function arguments & implement the required additional custom functionality according to your website requirements.
        }
        // add the action
        add_action( "manage_sites_extra_tablenav", "weplugins_execute_on_manage_sites_extra_tablenav_event" , 10, 1);
    

Live Example 2

To remove a hook callback, use the example below:

        remove_action( "manage_sites_extra_tablenav", "weplugins_execute_on_manage_sites_extra_tablenav_event", 10, 1 );
    

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

Live Example 3

Another example to demonstrate the hook usage:

        function weplugins_another_function_for_manage_sites_extra_tablenav($which){
            if ($which === 'top') {
                echo '<p>Custom functionality for the top nav.</p>';
            } else {
                echo '<p>Custom functionality for the bottom nav.</p>';
            }
        }
        add_action( "manage_sites_extra_tablenav", "weplugins_another_function_for_manage_sites_extra_tablenav", 20, 1);
