WordPress Hooks: tag_row_actions

WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems, providing many capabilities for developers through the use of Hooks. In fact, Hooks allow us to add new functionalities to our site without modifying the core WordPress code. One of these Hooks is tag_row_actions, specifically designed for modifying the actions of WordPress tags.

By utilizing tag_row_actions, we can add additional links or new actions to each row of tags in the WordPress management section. In doing so, developers can include many customizable options in this section, allowing for a better user experience for site managers and ease of access to necessary functionalities.

Working with this Hook is very simple. You only need to add a code snippet in the functions.php file of your theme or a custom plugin. This Hook allows you to define new links for each tag on the tag list page. Additionally, it gives you the ability to remove or edit some of the existing links.

Now that we have an introduction to this Hook, let’s look at some code snippets that demonstrate how to utilize this Hook. In this example, we will add an additional link to the tag editing page that users can click on, redirecting them to a custom settings page.

Code Example for Using tag_row_actions

add_filter('tag_row_actions', 'add_custom_action_link', 10, 2);
function add_custom_action_link($actions, $tag) {
    $actions['custom_action'] = 'Custom Action';
    return $actions;
}
