Example 1: Basic Usage of post_embed_url

This example demonstrates how to apply the post_embed_url filter to modify the embed URL.

$embed_url = apply_filters( 'post_embed_url', $embed_url, $post ); 
                         
if ( !empty( $embed_url ) ) { 
   // everything has led up to this point... 
} 

Example 2: Adding a Hook Callback

In this example, we define a callback function to modify the embed URL and then add it to the filter.

// define the post_embed_url callback 
function weplugins_filter_post_embed_url( $embed_url, $post ) { 
    // make filter magic happen here... 
    return $embed_url; 
}; 

// add the filter 
add_filter( 'post_embed_url', 'weplugins_filter_post_embed_url', 10, 2 ); 

Example 3: Removing a Hook Callback

If you need to remove a previously added post_embed_url filter, you can use this example.

// remove the filter 
remove_filter( 'post_embed_url', 'weplugins_filter_post_embed_url', 10, 2 );
