Simply Show Hooks vs Visual Admin Customizer

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.

Hide almost any part of the WordPress admin area by using a visual, point-and-click editor. You can hide things from all users or only from specific roles. You can also add your own CSS to the WordPress admin (per role). This plugin does not have a fixed list of things it can customize. Instead, it displays a live version of the WordPress dashboard and lets you select the parts of the page that you want to hide. You can hide almost any unique element (but see the “Limitations” section below). Here are a few examples of things you can hide: * Dashboard widgets. * Post editor meta boxes. * Custom fields. * Screen options. * Individual buttons. * Text boxes, checkboxes, dropdown lists and most other form fields. Requirements PHP 5.3 and up. A modern browser like Firefox, Chrome or IE 9 and up. Limitations This is not a security tool. The changes it makes are cosmetic. Users who are familiar with web development can bypass them. Don’t use it for security-critical tasks. It’s not great at hiding dynamic content like dialog windows, pop-up menus, or any content that changes frequently or depending on the logged-in user. It’s intended for customizing unique things like specific meta boxes or buttons. If you want to do something like hide all “Edit” links on a page or change the appearance of all “Save Changes” buttons, you’ll have to write the CSS code yourself or use a different plugin.
