Description

Calls the callback functions that have been added to a filter hook.

This function invokes all functions attached to filter hook `$hook_name`. It is possible to create new filter hooks by simply calling this function, specifying the name of the new hook using the $hook_name parameter. The function also allows for multiple additional arguments to be passed to hooks. Example usage:

• // The filter callback function.
• function example_callback( $string, $arg1, $arg2 ) {
• // (maybe) modify $string.
• return $string;
• }
• add_filter( 'example_filter', 'example_callback', 10, 3 );

• /*
• Apply the filters by calling the 'example_callback()' function
• that's hooked onto example_filter above.
• 'example_filter' is the filter hook.
• 'filter me' is the value being filtered.
• $arg1 and $arg2 are the additional arguments passed to the callback.
• $value = apply_filters( 'example_filter', 'filter me', $arg1, $arg2 );

Usage

$mixed = apply_filters( $hook_name, $value );

Parameters

$hook_name

( string ) required – The name of the filter hook.

$value

( mixed ) required – The value to filter.

Returns

mixed The filtered value after all hooked functions are applied to it.
