manage_post-post_type_posts_custom_column filter
The dynamic portion of the hook name, $post->post_type, refers to the post type.
To use manage_post-post_type_posts_custom_column 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_manage_post-post_type_posts_custom_column_defaults which takes 2 parameters and we registered using add_filter. The first parameter manage_post-post_type_posts_custom_column is name of the hook, The second parameter modify_manage_post-post_type_posts_custom_column_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 manage_post-post_type_posts_custom_column filter.
Parameters
- $column_name : (string) The name of the column to display.
- $post_id : (int) The current post ID.
Below are the 2 parameters are required to use this hook.
Live Example
// let's say we have a CPT called 'product'
function product_custom_column_values( $column, $post_id ) {
switch ( $column ) {
// in this example, a Product has custom fields called 'product_number' and 'product_name'
case 'product_number' :
case 'product_name' :
echo get_post_meta( $post_id , $column , true );
break;
, 10, 2 );
Below is an example how you can use this hook.
function modify_manage_post-post_type_posts_custom_column_defaults($column_name, $post_id) {
// Update the $column_name variable according to your website requirements and return this variable. You can modify the $column_name variable conditionally too if you want.
return $column_name;
}
// add the filter
add_filter( "manage_post-post_type_posts_custom_column", "modify_manage_post-post_type_posts_custom_column_defaults", 10, 2 );
To remove a hook callback, use the example below.
remove_filter( "manage_post-post_type_posts_custom_column", "modify_manage_post-post_type_posts_custom_column_defaults", 10, 2 );
Please make sure provide the same callback function name, priority and number of arguments while removing the hook callback.
