How to use print_default_editor_scripts action in WordPress

As an Indian developer, diving into WordPress hooks can be quite exciting, especially when you get to see the magic happen with actions like print_default_editor_scripts. This action is triggered when editor scripts are loaded for later initialization, after all scripts and settings have been printed. Whether you’re working on a theme or a custom plugin, this hook can help you extend WordPress functionality smoothly.

Example 1: Basic Usage of print_default_editor_scripts

In this example, we’ll register a function to execute when the print_default_editor_scripts action is fired. This function will contain whatever code you need to run during this event.

    function weplugins_execute_on_print_default_editor_scripts_event() {
        // Your custom code here
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action("print_default_editor_scripts", "weplugins_execute_on_print_default_editor_scripts_event");
    

Example 2: Removing the Hook

Sometimes, you might need to remove a previously registered hook. Here’s how you can do it using remove_action for the print_default_editor_scripts.

    remove_action("print_default_editor_scripts", "weplugins_execute_on_print_default_editor_scripts_event");
    

Ensure you provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments when removing the hook.

Example 3: Conditional Execution

This example demonstrates how you can conditionally execute code when the print_default_editor_scripts action occurs, based on specific conditions like user roles or page types.

    function weplugins_conditional_editor_scripts() {
        if (current_user_can('editor')) {
            // Code for editors only
        }
    }
    add_action("print_default_editor_scripts", "weplugins_conditional_editor_scripts");
