How to use registered_post_type_post_type action in WordPress

registered_post_type_post_type action

The dynamic portion of the filter name, $post_type, refers to the post type key.

To use registered_post_type_post_type 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 execute_on_registered_post_type_post_type_event which takes 2 parameters and we registered it using add_action. The first parameter registered_post_type_post_type is the name of the hook, the second parameter execute_on_registered_post_type_post_type_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 registered_post_type_post_type action.

Parameters

Below are the 2 parameters required to use this hook.

• $post_type: (string) Post type.
• $post_type_object: (WP_Post_Type) Arguments used to register the post type.

Live Example

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

    do_action("registered_post_type_{$post_type}", string $post_type, WP_Post_Type $post_type_object);
    

Example 1: Basic Hook Implementation

This example demonstrates how to register and execute the hook.

    function weplugins_execute_on_registered_post_type_post_type_event($post_type, $post_type_object) {
        // Code to execute when this action occurs
    }

    // Add the action
    add_action("registered_post_type_post_type", "weplugins_execute_on_registered_post_type_post_type_event", 10, 2);
    

Example 2: Custom Functionality

Here, we add custom functionality to be executed when the hook is triggered.

    function weplugins_custom_functionality($post_type, $post_type_object) {
        if ($post_type == 'custom_post_type') {
            // Custom functionality here
        }
    }

    add_action("registered_post_type_post_type", "weplugins_custom_functionality", 10, 2);
    

Example 3: Removing the Hook

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

    remove_action("registered_post_type_post_type", "weplugins_execute_on_registered_post_type_post_type_event", 10, 2);
    

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