How to use print_media_templates action in WordPress

So, you’re diving into the world of WordPress hooks, eh? As an Indian developer, I can tell you, it’s quite a journey! Today, let’s explore the print_media_templates action. This action is triggered when custom Backbone media templates are printed. Trust me, once you get the hang of it, it opens up a lot of possibilities for customization.

To use the print_media_templates action, first, you need to register it using add_action. You can embed this code within the functions.php of your active theme or within a custom WordPress Plugin. Personally, I recommend creating a custom WordPress Plugin so that nothing breaks when you update your theme in the future. It’s all about keeping things smooth and hassle-free!

Sometimes, you might want to remove a registered hook, and that’s where remove_action comes in handy to remove the print_media_templates action.

Example 1: Basic Usage

Let’s see how you can use this hook in action.

    function weplugins_execute_on_print_media_templates_event() {
        // Code to execute when the action occurs
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action("print_media_templates", "weplugins_execute_on_print_media_templates_event");
    

Example 2: Removing the Hook

If you need to remove the hook callback, here’s how you can do it:

    remove_action("print_media_templates", "weplugins_execute_on_print_media_templates_event");
    

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

Example 3: Triggering the Hook

Here’s a simple example of triggering the action:

    do_action('print_media_templates');
