Admin Notice vs Simply Show Hooks

Admin Notice is a very simple plugin that allows you to display custom notices in the WordPress admin that is visible to all users. Control over the notice text and styling is available from the plugin’s settings page. Developers can use the admin_notice_enable hook to control the notice’s visibility on a more granular level. The following example demonstrates how to show the notice only in the “Posts” area of the admin. add_filter('admin_notice_enable', function($enabled) { $screen = get_current_screen(); if (isset($screen->post_type) && $screen->post_type !== 'post') { $enabled = false; } return $enabled; }, 10, 1);

Up until now the way theme and plugin developers find where to hook into with their add_action() and add_filter() functions is either to search through the WordPress code base, or find find a reference to the hook in the codex. What Simply Show Hooks does is give you a simpler way to see these hooks by displaying them in-line on the page that you are on. All that’s left to do then is copy the hook you need, and paste it in to your add_action and add_filter functions like this: add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_enqueue_scripts_action’ ); add_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘my_the_title_filter’ ); I made this plugin so I could find WordPress hooks quicker and I use it all the time, so I thought I’d share it and see if it could help others. Enjoy! Please note that in odd cases, due to the nature of actions and filters, the plugin may display a hook in place that disrupts the display of your site – in which case we always display the ‘Hide Hooks’ button so you can switch it back off. This won’t disrupt the look of you site to anyone but you so don’t worry.
