What are WordPress Hooks?<\/h2>\n

WordPress hooks<\/a> allow you to modify or add features to WordPress without touching the core files. Using hook functions, you can get WordPress to execute your custom code,  registered via a callback function, at different points. WordPress will allow you to augment or replace the feature that your callback is hooked to!<\/p>\n

There are two types of hooks: Actions<\/a> and Filters<\/a>. To use either, you need to write a custom function known as a callback<\/em>, and then register it with a WordPress hook for a specific action or filter.<\/p>\n

Now you can Modify\/Add Functionality without Updating Core DAP Files<\/h2>\n

Action hooks will allow you add your own custom code at certain predefined points. This way you can modify or add features to DAP without touching the core DAP files. <\/p>\n

DAP is already a pretty powerful membership plugin and you’ll likely not have a need to extend it with custom code. However, if you want to extend certain feature or functionality, you can now do it easily, without updating core DAP files.<\/p>\n

You can add custom callback code in your theme’s functions.php file or use a plugin (such as code snippets) to add your callback. <\/p>\n

If you need any help with customizations, you can hire a developer to help you with it. If you need our help, just open a ticket<\/a> and we’ll let you know the cost of custom updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
