You appear to be a bot. Output may be restricted
Description
Calls the callback functions that have been added to an action hook.
This function invokes all functions attached to action hook `$hook_name`. It is possible to create new action hooks by simply calling this function, specifying the name of the new hook using the $hook_name
parameter.
You can pass extra arguments to the hooks, much like you can with `apply_filters()`.
Example usage:
- // The action callback function.
- function example_callback( $arg1, $arg2 ) {
- // (maybe) do something with the args.
- }
- add_action( 'example_action', 'example_callback', 10, 2 );
- /*
- Trigger the actions by calling the 'example_callback()' function
- that's hooked onto
example_action
above. - 'example_action' is the action hook.
- $arg1 and $arg2 are the additional arguments passed to the callback.
- do_action( 'example_action', $arg1, $arg2 );
Usage
do_action( $hook_name, $arg );
Parameters
- $hook_name
- ( string ) required – The name of the action to be executed.
- $arg
- ( mixed ) optional –
Returns
void
