How to use myblogs_options filter in WordPress

myblogs_options filter

By default, the Global Settings section is hidden. Passing a non-empty string to this filter will enable the section, and allow new settings to be added, either globally or for specific sites.

To use myblogs_options 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_options_defaults which takes 2 parameters and we registered using add_filter. The first parameter myblogs_options is name of the hook, The second parameter weplugins_modify_myblogs_options_defaults is name of the function which needs 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 myblogs_options filter.

Parameters

Below are the 2 parameters required to use this hook.

• $settings_html: (string) The settings HTML markup. Default empty.
• $context: (string) Context of the setting (global or site-specific). Default ‘global’.

Live Examples

Example 1: Basic Usage

Below is an example of how you can use this hook to modify settings HTML based on the context.

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

Example 2: Conditional Modification

This example demonstrates how to conditionally modify the settings HTML based on whether the context is ‘global’ or ‘site-specific’.

    function weplugins_modify_myblogs_options_defaults($settings_html, $context) { 
        if ($context == 'global') {
            $settings_html .= '<p>Global settings applied!</p>';
        } else {
            $settings_html .= '<p>Site-specific settings applied!</p>';
        }
        return $settings_html; 
    }
    // add the filter
    add_filter("myblogs_options", "weplugins_modify_myblogs_options_defaults", 10, 2);
    

Example 3: Removing the Hook

To remove a hook callback, use the example below. Make sure to provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments while removing the hook callback.

    // remove the filter
    remove_filter("myblogs_options", "weplugins_modify_myblogs_options_defaults", 10, 2);
