How to use network_site_new_form action in WordPress

Hey there! If you’re diving into WordPress hooks, you’re in the right place. Today, we’re exploring the network_site_new_form action. This hook fires at the end of the new site form in the network admin. Let’s break it down with some live examples and see how you can use it in your projects.

To use the network_site_new_form action, you first need to register it using the add_action function. You can place this code in the functions.php file of your activated theme or, better yet, in a custom WordPress plugin to prevent issues when updating your theme.

In the examples below, we’ll define a function called weplugins_execute_on_network_site_new_form_event and register it using add_action. The first parameter is the name of the hook, the second parameter is the function that 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 to the registered function.

Sometimes, you might need to remove a registered hook. You can use the remove_action function to remove the network_site_new_form action.

Live Example 1: Basic Usage

Here’s a simple example of how you can use this hook.

function weplugins_execute_on_network_site_new_form_event() {
    // You can write code here to be executed when this action occurs in WordPress website according to your requirements.
}

// Add the action
add_action("network_site_new_form", "weplugins_execute_on_network_site_new_form_event");

Live Example 2: Custom Output

In this example, we’ll add a custom message at the end of the new site form.

function weplugins_custom_message_on_new_site_form() {
    echo '<p>Welcome to your new site! Here are some tips to get started.</p>';
}

// Add the action
add_action("network_site_new_form", "weplugins_custom_message_on_new_site_form");

Live Example 3: Removing the Hook

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

remove_action("network_site_new_form", "weplugins_execute_on_network_site_new_form_event");

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