This is by far the best explanation of actions and filters I've ever run across! Thanks.

This is a superb video Brian, thank you. I've been struggling for days to understand how to make adjustments in a plugin i'm using for a project. Everything else I've read or watched has been generalised or expects prior knolwedge. One view of this video and I have a working solution. Brilliant.

This is great, I've been searching the web for how to modify a plugin and not creating one from scratch and didn't find anything, but your video helped me a lot. Your video is unique, Thank you very much.

This is one of Brian's best work — over the years I have sent people to this video and have more and more appreciation for him. Thank you! 🙌

You are the best. I was struggling with finding filters and actions. Other videos usually don't explain that and they just tell you how to use them and I always thought how do they even know which action or filter to use specially with plugins like woo commerce where they have dozens of hooks. The way you explained this in just few minutes is amazing and the video should be ranked first. The only thing I wished that you added to this video is another example at the end for filters.

Hello Brain, you created an excellent tutorial.

It's been 3 years. I think it should get millions of view. Update the description so we will be able to find the tutorial easily.

Thanks

So you create a do_action somewhere in ur plugin and then u run the do_action with add_action in another plugin if u want to change something in the original plugin.. ?

Yes new to Wp..

Brian - I'm having an awful time finding the actions and filters available in a plugin. When I do a search of the folder, nothing comes up for either. Very few come up when I do a search file by file. What mechanism do you use for searching for "do_action" and "apply_filters" in a plugin?
