Introducing Filter Event
Lab: WordPress Plugin API – Introduction & Registering Event Hooks
Video Runtime: 10:53
Let’s start with registering a callback from your Starter Plugin to the post title, i.e. the_title
event. You will learn more about namespaces and the full qualified name of your callback.
In this video you will learn and see the following:
- Actions and filters are both stored in one lookup table, i.e.
$wp_filter
. - The lookup table is a large, multi-dimensional array.
- The priority is the main key for each event and they are sorted.
- You can set the priority of when you want your event to fire. However, you can’t set the granular sub-priority level within the priority. For example, you can’t set when you want your callback to fire before all the other priority 10 callbacks.
Break. Go rest your noodle for a couple of minutes.
