A quick introduction
WordPress offers filter hooks to allow plugins to modify various types of internal data at runtime. A plugin can modify data by binding a callback to a filter hook. When the filter is later applied, each bound callback is run in order of priority, and given the opportunity to modify a value by returning a new value. The following example shows how a callback function is bound to a filter hook. Note that$example is passed to the callback, (maybe) modified, then returned:
function example_callback( $example ) {
// Maybe modify $example in some way.
return $example;
}
add_filter( 'example_filter', 'example_callback' );Adding your filters with Must-Use Plugins. It’s really simple!
Adding filters and hooks for our plugin might look difficult, but it can be done quite easy. Copy/Paste below the needed snippet below in your favorite text editor and follow the instructions in our article about MU Plugins.Our collection of prefilled add_filter
