This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Another Show Hooks

Description

A sequential and visual representation of WordPress action and filter hooks. This is a Developer tool so if you are a developer then it might be a life-saver plugin.

How?

Let’s have a question for you!

Which hook fires first?

  1. admin_init
  2. init

A bit confusing, right? init runs first and after firing almost 100 hooks admin_init runs. Before developing the plugin I had to jump over google or wp handbook which kills my development time and makes my project delayed.

To get rid of this problem, Another Show Hooks present you with a graphical overview right from your web screen.

Some cool features

Origin

We are proud the original base of the plugin was a fork of Simply Show Hooks as it has not been maintained for the last 6 years and has lots of compatibility issues. We have improved the code security and made it compatible with the latest WordPress.

Tried other options but this is the most beautiful, well designed and more info-charged. Essential, I’d say, I’ll promote on Twitter! And buy PRO as soon as my third world salary allows πŸ™‚ Thanks for your hard work!

While the screenshots look a little confusing and cluttered, once you actually try it and are able to scroll through the page you can see that the hooks show WHERE they are fired, which is super helpful in additional to the firing sequence. Great tool! Thanks for sharing!
