How to use post_row_actions filter in WordPress

Filters the array of row action links on the Posts list table.

 apply_filters('post_row_actions', string[] $actions, WP_Post $post) 

The filter is evaluated only for non-hierarchical post types.

This hook is used for generating post row action for custom post type. Also, your Custom Post Type must be non-hierarchical. ‘hierarchical’ => false when declaring your CPT with register_post_type(‘MyCustomPostType’…).

To use this filter for a specific post type, the best way is to use the post_row_actions filter and then test against the passed in $post->post_type.

    function weplugins_my_duplicate_post_link($actions, $post) {
        if ($post->post_type == 'myposttype') {
            $actions['duplicate'] = '<a title="" href="#" rel="permalink">Duplicate</a>';
        }
        return $actions;
    }
    add_filter('post_row_actions', 'weplugins_my_duplicate_post_link', 10, 2);
    

• $actions: (string[]) An array of row action links. Defaults are ‘Edit’, ‘Quick Edit’, ‘Restore’, ‘Trash’, ‘Delete Permanently’, ‘Preview’, and ‘View’.
• $post: (WP_Post) Post object.

Example 1: Basic Hook Implementation

Here’s a simple implementation of the post_row_actions filter:

    $actions = apply_filters('post_row_actions', $actions, $post);

    if (!empty($actions)) {
        // everything has led up to this point...
    }
    

Example 2: Adding a Hook Callback

This example demonstrates how to add a callback to the hook:

    add_filter('post_row_actions', 'weplugins_modify_list_row_actions', 10, 2);
    function weplugins_modify_list_row_actions($actions, $post) {
        // Check for your post type.
        if ($post->post_type == "my_custom_post_type") {
            // Build your links URL.
            $url = admin_url('admin.php?page=mycpt_page&post=' . $post->ID);
            // Maybe put in some extra arguments based on the post status.
        }
    }
    

Example 3: Removing a Hook Callback

Use the following method to remove a callback from the hook:

    remove_filter('post_row_actions', 'weplugins_filter_post_row_actions', 10, 2);
