There are cases in which you want to unregister all the hooks to a action in wordpress/woocommerce, example to fully disable an action.
Normally in order to remove a hook properly you need its name, function name and its priority without knowing this you will not be able to register them.
- First lest get all the hooked functions and its priority for particular named action/filter in a recursive manner.
- Then using a for loop we call remove_action() to unregister the hooks.
function _devnodes_unregister_all_action_hooks($action_name)
{
global $wp_filter;
$hooks_list = array();
if ( isset( $wp_filter[$action_name] ) && 0 < iterator_count( $wp_filter[$action_name] ) ) {
foreach ( $wp_filter[$action_name] as $k => $v ) {
if ( is_array( $v ) ) {
foreach ( $v as $i => $j ) {
$hooks_list[] = array(
'priority' => $k,
'function' => $j['function'],
);
}
}
}
foreach ( $hooks_list as $k => $hook ) {
remove_action($action_name, $hook['function'], $hook['priority']);
}
}
}
Any where in the child theme’s function.php you may call like this. It’ll be fired only once ( during theme activation ).
add_action('after_switch_theme', 'devnodes_switch_theme');
function devnodes_switch_theme () {
_devnodes_unregister_all_action_hooks('storefront_header')
_devnodes_unregister_all_action_hooks('storefront_footer')
}
