How to use preprocess_signup_form action in WordPress

preprocess_signup_form action

Fires when the site sign-up form is sent.

To use preprocess_signup_form 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_preprocess_signup_form_event and we registered using add_action. The first parameter preprocess_signup_form is the name of the hook, the second parameter weplugins_execute_on_preprocess_signup_form_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 preprocess_signup_form action.

Parameters

• No parameters

Live Examples

Example 1: Basic Usage

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

  function weplugins_execute_on_preprocess_signup_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( "preprocess_signup_form", "weplugins_execute_on_preprocess_signup_form_event");
  

Example 2: Removing the Hook

To remove a hook callback, use the example below:

  remove_action( "preprocess_signup_form", "weplugins_execute_on_preprocess_signup_form_event");
  

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

Example 3: Custom Functionality

Adding custom functionality during the sign-up process:

  function weplugins_custom_signup_functionality(){
      // Custom code to be executed during the sign-up process
  }
  add_action( "preprocess_signup_form", "weplugins_custom_signup_functionality");
