What is WordPress Hook: get_term
The get_term hook in WordPress is used to retrieve a single term from a specific taxonomy. It allows developers to modify the term object before it is returned.
Understanding the Hook: get_term
The get_term hook is located within the get_term() function in WordPress. This function is responsible for retrieving a single term from the database based on the term ID and taxonomy.
Hook Parameters (if applicable): get_term
The get_term hook accepts two parameters: $term and $taxonomy. The $term parameter is the term object being retrieved, and the $taxonomy parameter is the taxonomy of the term being retrieved.
Hook Doesn’t Work: get_term
If the get_term hook doesn’t work as expected, it could be due to incorrect usage of the hook or conflicts with other functions or plugins. It is recommended to double-check the syntax and ensure that the hook is being used in the appropriate context.
Best Practices & Usage Notes (if applicable): get_term
When using the get_term hook, it is important to note that any modifications made to the term object will affect all subsequent uses of that term within the current page load. It is best practice to use this hook sparingly and only when necessary to avoid unintended consequences.
Usage Example: get_term
“`php
function custom_get_term( $term, $taxonomy ) {
// Modify the term object here
return $term;
}
add_filter( ‘get_term’, ‘custom_get_term’, 10, 2 );
