How Do I Find My WordPress Hooks?

If you want to develop custom WordPress hooks, first you will need to understand how hooks work. WordPress hooks are functions that are executed when a certain event occurs, such as when a post is published, a comment is made, or a custom post type is created.

Once you have an understanding of hooks, the next step is to find the hooks that you need. To do this, you can use the help function in WordPress to search for specific hooks.

Alternatively, you can use a plugin such as Hooks for WordPress to help you find hooks.

Once you have found the hooks that you need, you will need to create a function for them. To do this, you will need to create a file called functions.php and add the following code:

Next, you will need to register the function in the wp_ hooks function in your theme’s header. To do this, you will need to add the following line to your theme’s header:

add_action(‘wp_ init’, ‘my_custom_hook’);

Finally, you will need to create a trigger for the function. To do this, you will need to create a file called posts.php and add the following code:


My Custom Post Type

The my_custom_hook() function will be called when a post with the specified title is published.
