How to use myblogs_blog_actions filter in WordPress

myblogs_blog_actions filter

Filters the row links displayed for each site on the My Sites screen.

To use myblogs_blog_actions 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_myblogs_blog_actions_defaults which takes 2 parameters and we registered using add_filter. The first parameter myblogs_blog_actions is the name of the hook; the second parameter weplugins_modify_myblogs_blog_actions_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 myblogs_blog_actions filter.

Parameters

Below are the 2 parameters required to use this hook.

• $actions: (string) The HTML site link markup.
• $user_blog: (object) An object containing the site data.

Live Example 1

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

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

Live Example 2

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

        remove_filter( "myblogs_blog_actions", "weplugins_modify_myblogs_blog_actions_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

Another way to alter the actions displayed for each site on the My Sites screen:

        function weplugins_custom_blog_actions($actions, $user_blog) {
            // Example of adding a custom action
            $actions .= '<a href="#">Custom Action</a>';
            return $actions;
        }
        add_filter('myblogs_blog_actions', 'weplugins_custom_blog_actions', 15, 2);
