What is WordPress Hook: cat_row_actions
The cat_row_actions hook in WordPress is used to add custom actions to the category row on the category administration screen. This allows developers to add new links or buttons to the category row for additional functionality.
Understanding the Hook: cat_row_actions
The cat_row_actions hook is located within the category administration screen in WordPress. It is specifically used to modify the actions that appear when hovering over a category row, providing developers with the ability to customize the available options for each category.
Hook Parameters (if applicable): cat_row_actions
The cat_row_actions hook does not accept any parameters, as it is used to add custom actions directly to the category row without the need for additional arguments.
Hook Doesn’t Work: cat_row_actions
If the cat_row_actions hook is not working as expected, it may be due to conflicts with other plugins or themes that are also modifying the category row actions. To troubleshoot, developers should deactivate other plugins or switch to a default theme to identify any potential conflicts.
Best Practices & Usage Notes (if applicable): cat_row_actions
When using the cat_row_actions hook, it is important to consider the user experience and avoid cluttering the category row with too many actions. It is best practice to only add essential actions that provide meaningful functionality for managing categories.
Usage Example: cat_row_actions
“`php
function custom_category_actions($actions, $category) {
$actions[‘custom_action’] = ‘Custom Action‘;
return $actions;
}
add_filter(‘cat_row_actions’, ‘custom_category_actions’, 10, 2);
“`
In this example, the custom_category_actions function adds a new custom action to the category row using the cat_row_actions hook. The ‘Custom Action’ link will now appear as an option when hovering over a category row in the WordPress admin.
