How to use registered_taxonomy action in WordPress

As Indian developers, we all know that working with WordPress hooks can sometimes feel like magic. They allow us to create custom functionalities without altering the core files. One such hook is the registered_taxonomy action, which fires after a taxonomy is registered. Let’s dive into how we can use this hook effectively!

Example 1: Basic Usage of registered_taxonomy

This example shows how you can use the registered_taxonomy action to execute code after a taxonomy is registered.

        /**
         * Example of registered_taxonomy usage
         * @param string $taxonomy Taxonomy key.
         * @param array|string $object_type Name of the object type for the taxonomy object.
         * @param array|string $args Optional args used in taxonomy registration.
         */
        function weplugins_registered_taxonomy_example( $taxonomy, $object_type, $args ) {
            if ( 'customtax' == $taxonomy ) {
                // Do something after customtax is registered as custom taxonomy
            }
        }
        add_action( 'registered_taxonomy', 'weplugins_registered_taxonomy_example', 10, 3 );
        

Example 2: Custom Functionality on Taxonomy Registration

Here’s how you can implement additional custom functionality based on your website’s requirements using the registered_taxonomy action.

        function weplugins_execute_on_registered_taxonomy_event($taxonomy, $object_type, $args){
            // You can write code here to be executed when this action occurs in WordPress.
        }
        // Add the action
        add_action( "registered_taxonomy", "weplugins_execute_on_registered_taxonomy_event" , 10, 3);
        

Example 3: Removing a Hook Callback

If you ever need to remove a callback from the registered_taxonomy action, you can do so like this. Make sure to provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments while removing the hook callback.

        remove_action( "registered_taxonomy", "weplugins_execute_on_registered_taxonomy_event", 10, 3 );
