Rewrite Flush Button vs Simply Show Hooks

It was brought to my attention shortly after releasing this plugin that WordPress automatically flushes rewrite rules when you visit WP-Admin > Settings > Permalinks. Ingenious, right? So don’t bother installing it, but feel free to check out the code if you are looking for an example of how to: Use the WordPress Settings API to add an option to an existing Settings page; Use the WordPress AJAX API in conjunction with your plugin options; Over-engineer a solution to a problem that has already been solved. Enjoy! 🙂

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.
