How to use network_edit_site_nav_links filter in WordPress

network_edit_site_nav_links filter

Default links: ‘site-info’, ‘site-users’, ‘site-themes’, and ‘site-settings’.

To use network_edit_site_nav_links 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_network_edit_site_nav_links_defaults which takes 1 parameters and we registered using add_filter. The first parameter network_edit_site_nav_links is name of the hook, The second parameter modify_network_edit_site_nav_links_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 network_edit_site_nav_links filter.

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

                            return $links; 
                        }
                        // add the filter
                        add_filter( "network_edit_site_nav_links", "modify_network_edit_site_nav_links_defaults", 10, 1 );
