Plugin API/Action Reference

This is a (hopefully) comprehensive list of action hooks available in WordPress version 2.1 and above. For more information:

(If you want to add to or clarify this documentation, please follow the style of the existing entries. Describe when the action runs, and if the action function takes arguments, describe the arguments.)

Actions Run During a Typical Request

These actions are called when a logged-in user opens the home page in Version 3.3.1. This list may show only the first time each action is called, and in many cases no function is hooked to the action. Themes and plugins can cause actions to be called multiple times and at differing times during a request. As proof of this, you can see action calls specific to the Twenty Eleven theme on this list. Cron tasks may also fire when a user visits the site, adding additional action calls. This list should be viewed as a guide line or approximation of WordPress action execution order, and not a concrete specification.

Actions are called with the function do_action(), except those marked (ref array), which are called with the function do_action_ref_array().

muplugins_loaded After must-use plugins are loaded
registered_taxonomy For category, post_tag, etc.
registered_post_type For post, page, etc.
plugins_loaded After active plugins and pluggable functions are loaded
sanitize_comment_cookies
setup_theme
load_textdomain For the default domain
after_setup_theme Generally used to initialize theme settings/options. This is the first action hook available to themes, triggered immediately after the active theme's functions.php file is loaded. add_theme_support() should be called here, since the init action hook is too late to add some features. At this stage, the current user is not yet authenticated.
auth_cookie_malformed
auth_cookie_valid
set_current_user
init Typically used by plugins to initialize. The current user is already authenticated by this time.

Actions Run During an Admin Page Request

These actions are run when a logged-in user opens the Posts page in Version 3.3.1. This list shows only the first time an action is called, and in many cases no function is hooked to the action. Each admin page has a different list of actions depending upon the purpose of the page and the plugins installed. This list should be viewed as a guide line or approximation, and not a concrete specification.

In these actions, (hookname) depends on the page. For the Posts page it is edit.php, or for a theme's Background page it is appearance_page_custom-background.

Actions are called with the function do_action(), except those marked (ref array), which are called with the function do_action_ref_array().

muplugins_loaded After must-use plugins are loaded
registered_taxonomy For category, post_tag, etc.
