How to use pre_network_site_new_created_user action in WordPress

pre_network_site_new_created_user action

Fires immediately before a new user is created via the network site-new.php page.

To use pre_network_site_new_created_user action, first you have to register it using add_action. 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_execute_on_pre_network_site_new_created_user_event which takes 1 parameter and we registered using add_action. The first parameter pre_network_site_new_created_user is the name of the hook, The second parameter weplugins_execute_on_pre_network_site_new_created_user_event 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_action to remove pre_network_site_new_created_user action.

Parameters

Below the 1 parameter is required to use this hook.

• $email : (string) Email of the non-existent user.

Live Example 1

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

    function weplugins_execute_on_pre_network_site_new_created_user_event($email){
       //You can write code here to be executed when this action occurs in WordPress. Use the parameters received in the function arguments & implement the required additional custom functionality according to your website requirements.
    }
    // add the action
    add_action( "pre_network_site_new_created_user", "weplugins_execute_on_pre_network_site_new_created_user_event" , 10, 1);

    remove_action( "pre_network_site_new_created_user", "weplugins_execute_on_pre_network_site_new_created_user_event", 10, 1 );
    

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

    }
    // add the action
    add_action( "pre_network_site_new_created_user", "weplugins_log_new_network_user" , 10, 1);
