WordPress Unhooked: A Beginner’s Guide To Hooks, Actions, And Filters

When I first started working with WordPress, hooks seemed like a mysterious, advanced feature. I often wondered:

• What exactly are actions and filters, and how do they work?
• Why are they so essential for customizing WordPress?
• How can I use them to build powerful, scalable websites?

Through trial, error, and plenty of practice, I came to appreciate just how vital hooks are to mastering WordPress development. This book is the result of that journey—a practical guide to understanding and using WordPress actions and filters effectively.

In this book, I aim to break down the complexities of hooks into simple, relatable concepts. Whether you’re a beginner looking to understand the basics or an experienced developer aiming to refine your skills, this book offers something for everyone.
