Labs

Labs are hands-on coding projects that you build along with Tonya as she explains the code, concepts, and thought processes behind it. You can use the labs to further your code knowledge or to use right in your projects. Each lab ties into the Docx to ensure you have the information you need.

Each lab is designed to further your understanding and mastery of code. You learn more about how to think about its construction, quality, maintainability, programmatic and logical thought, and problem-solving. While you may be building a specific thing, Tonya presents the why of it to make it adaptable far beyond that specific implementation, thereby giving you the means to make it your own, in any context.

WordPress Tip: Do You Have to Specify all the Arguments for add_action and add_filter?

The question I often get is: If I only need a couple of the arguments that a filter or action makes available, do I have to specify all of them in the callback function for add_filter() and add_action(). For example, if a filter, such as shortcode_atts_{$shortcode} has 4 arguments, but I only need 3, do I have to wire it up for all 4? In this video, Tonya explains why you have control over what you want to receive by looking into WordPress core at apply_filters().

WordPress Tip – Match Arguments and Parameters When Calling Functions

You have to match the number of arguments to the number of required parameters for a PHP function. A common error is when you forget to specify the number of arguments to send when wiring up an event callback for add_action() or add_filter().
