login_site_html_link filter

Filter the “Go to site” link displayed in the login page footer.

To use login_site_html_link filter, first you have to register it using add_filter. You can write this code into functions.php of your activated theme or in a custom WordPress Plugin.

We at Flipper Code, always prefer to create a custom WordPress Plugin while using hooks so nothing breaks when you update your WordPress Theme in the future.

In the below live example, we have defined a function modify_login_site_html_link_defaults which takes 1 parameters and we registered using add_filter. The first parameter login_site_html_link is name of the hook, The second parameter modify_login_site_html_link_defaults is name of the function which need to be called, third parameter is the priority of calling the hook if same hook is used multiple times and the last parameter is the number of arguments (if any) to be passed in the registered function.

Sometime, you have to remove a registered hook so you can use remove_filter to remove login_site_html_link filter.

Parameters

    Below the 1 parameter is required to use this hook.

  • $link : (string) HTML link to the home URL of the current site.

Live Example

apply_filters( 'login_site_html_link', string $link )

Below is an example how you can use this hook.

                        function modify_login_site_html_link_defaults($link) { 
   
                            // Update the $link variable according to your website requirements and return this variable. You can modify the $link variable conditionally too if you want.

                            return $link; 
                        }
                        // add the filter
                        add_filter( "login_site_html_link", "modify_login_site_html_link_defaults", 10, 1 );

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

remove_filter( "login_site_html_link", "modify_login_site_html_link_defaults", 10, 1 );

Please make sure provide the same callback function name, priority and number of arguments while removing the hook callback.
