How to use dbx_post_advanced action in WordPress

dbx_post_advanced action

Fires in the middle of built-in meta box registration.

To use the dbx_post_advanced 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_dbx_post_advanced_event which takes 1 parameter and we registered using add_action. The first parameter dbx_post_advanced is the name of the hook, the second parameter execute_on_dbx_post_advanced_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 the dbx_post_advanced action.

Parameters

Below the 1 parameter is required to use this hook.

• $post : (WP_Post) Post object.

       // Use the parameters received in the function arguments & implement the required additional custom functionality according to your website requirements.
    }
    // add the action
    add_action( "dbx_post_advanced", "weplugins_execute_on_dbx_post_advanced_event" , 10, 1);
