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.
Hands off the keyboard. Web development starts by thinking first, then planning it out, and then coding it.
