How to use delete_term_taxonomy action in WordPress

Example 1: Basic Usage of delete_term_taxonomy

Let’s start with a basic example where we define a function and hook it into delete_term_taxonomy. This is how you can execute custom actions when a term taxonomy is about to be deleted.

    function weplugins_execute_on_delete_term_taxonomy_event($tt_id){
       // Custom code to run when the taxonomy term is deleted
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action( "delete_term_taxonomy", "weplugins_execute_on_delete_term_taxonomy_event", 10, 1 );
    

Example 2: Removing a Hook Callback

If you ever need to remove a previously registered function from the delete_term_taxonomy action, you can do so with the remove_action function. Here’s how you can remove the callback.

    remove_action( "delete_term_taxonomy", "weplugins_execute_on_delete_term_taxonomy_event", 10, 1 );
    

Example 3: Conditional Logic on Deletion

In this example, we demonstrate how to add conditional logic to your function, allowing you to execute different code based on the term taxonomy ID being deleted.

    function weplugins_conditional_delete_term_taxonomy_event($tt_id){
       if($tt_id == 123){
           // Execute specific code for taxonomy ID 123
       }
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action( "delete_term_taxonomy", "weplugins_conditional_delete_term_taxonomy_event", 10, 1 );
