How to use manage_taxonomies_for_attachment_columns filter in WordPress

manage_taxonomies_for_attachment_columns filter

Filters the taxonomy columns for attachments in the Media list table.

To use manage_taxonomies_for_attachment_columns 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 Flipper Code, 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 modify_manage_taxonomies_for_attachment_columns_defaults which takes 2 parameters and we registered using add_filter. The first parameter manage_taxonomies_for_attachment_columns is name of the hook, The second parameter modify_manage_taxonomies_for_attachment_columns_defaults is name of the function which need to be called, third parameter is the priority of calling the hook if same hook is used multiple times and the last parameter is the number of arguments (if any) to be passed in the registered function.

Sometime, you have to remove a registered hook so you can use remove_filter to remove manage_taxonomies_for_attachment_columns filter.

Parameters

Below are the 2 parameters are required to use this hook.

• $taxonomies : (string[]) An array of registered taxonomy names to show for attachments.
• $post_type : (string) The post type. Default ‘attachment’.

Live Example

apply_filters( 'manage_taxonomies_for_attachment_columns', string[] $taxonomies, string $post_type )

Below is an example how you can use this hook.

                        function modify_manage_taxonomies_for_attachment_columns_defaults($taxonomies, $post_type) { 
   
                            // Update the $taxonomies variable according to your website requirements and return this variable. You can modify the $taxonomies variable conditionally too if you want.

                            return $taxonomies; 
                        }
                        // add the filter
                        add_filter( "manage_taxonomies_for_attachment_columns", "modify_manage_taxonomies_for_attachment_columns_defaults", 10, 2 );

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

remove_filter( "manage_taxonomies_for_attachment_columns", "modify_manage_taxonomies_for_attachment_columns_defaults", 10, 2 );

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