How to use network_sites_updated_message__getupdated filter in WordPress

network_sites_updated_message__getupdated filter

The dynamic portion of the hook name, $_GET[‘updated’], refers to the non-default site update action.

To use the network_sites_updated_message__getupdated filter, first, you have to register it using add_filter. You can write this code into the 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_network_sites_updated_message__getupdated_defaults` which takes 1 parameter and we registered it using add_filter. The first parameter `network_sites_updated_message__getupdated` is the name of the hook, the second parameter `weplugins_modify_network_sites_updated_message__getupdated_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 the network_sites_updated_message__getupdated filter.

Parameters

Below the 1 parameter is required to use this hook.

• $msg: (string) The update message. Default ‘Settings saved’.

Live Example

apply_filters( "network_sites_updated_message_{$_GET['updated']}", string $msg )

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

Example 1: Modifying the Update Message

In this example, we modify the update message to suit our website’s requirements.

    function weplugins_modify_network_sites_updated_message__getupdated_defaults($msg) {
        // Update the $msg variable according to your website requirements and return this variable.
        // You can modify the $msg variable conditionally too if you want.
        return $msg;
    }
    // add the filter
    add_filter( "network_sites_updated_message__getupdated", "weplugins_modify_network_sites_updated_message__getupdated_defaults", 10, 1 );
    

Example 2: Removing the Hook Callback

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

    remove_filter("network_sites_updated_message__getupdated", "weplugins_modify_network_sites_updated_message__getupdated_defaults", 10, 1);
    

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

Example 3: Custom Conditional Message

This example shows how to conditionally change the message based on certain conditions.

    function weplugins_modify_network_sites_updated_message__getupdated_defaults($msg) {
        // Conditionally modify the message
        if ($_GET['updated'] == 'custom_condition') {
            $msg = 'Custom condition met. Settings saved!';
        }
        return $msg;
    }
    // add the filter
    add_filter( "network_sites_updated_message__getupdated", "weplugins_modify_network_sites_updated_message__getupdated_defaults", 10, 1 );
