This is a function that fires after the user submits a gravity form in wordpress. Ive talked to their support team, and have gone thru adding a custom log inside the function, and from the systems report, the can tell the action is firing fin, but not the log inside the function. and i cant seem to find what is wrong with it.
I've tried adding the action inside an mu plugin, I've tried uninstalling all plugins, even tried a fresh install with only the gravity form plugin, and my modifications to the functions file.
Its a pretty straight forward function:
function survey_done( $entry, $form ) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
add_user_meta( $user_id, 'survey_complete', 'control' );
}
add_action( 'gform_after_submission_2', 'survey_done', 10, 2 );
If you are trying to insert the function you have shown then it might be due to the plugin loading first then gravity form plugin.
So, your hook will not be fired until the Gravity form plugin is loaded.

I am writing a wordpress plugin.
I have noticed in my debug log that i get a lot of PHP errors thrown because my shortcodes are being executed on the admin edit pages and therefore the relevant data is not available because the shortcode is loading dynamic data based upon the user front end. For example i have a function:
function myFunction_availability() {
if (is_admin()) return; // tried adding this but still get the issue
$product = $this->myFunction_get_current_product();
return "<div class='product-availability'>{$product->availability}</div>";
}
Works fine from the front end, but whenever i load the edit page from admin area i get in my log:
PHP Warning: Attempt to read property "availability" on null in /home/vagrant/yodahwp/wp-content/plugins/yodah/class.yodah.php on line 1602
As you can see from my code, i tried adding is_admin() to exit out of the function if viewing an admin page (i.e. the edit post page) but this does not seem to work.
Do any wordpress whizzes have an answer for this? I am a bit surprised that shortcodes are executed on the admin edit pages, or am I missing something?!
Thanks
This is an old question. Usually, this happens when using visual builders.
One solution is to write a condition to check if the product exists.
If using woocommerce you can try:
$product = wc_get_product( get_the_ID() );
if($product){
//continue
}
In your case, you should edit your myFunction_get_current_product() method and verify there if the product exists.
I've been struggling with this for a couple days now and have been through every post/comment/discussion/etc... I could find trying to find a working solution.
I want to send an email via a custom class that extends WC_Email whenever a woocommerce user updates their address. I've found various resources explaining how to create custom wc emails (skyverge was most useful) and I have successfully done that. I have a plugin that adds a custom email in WP-Admin->WooCommerce->Settings->Emails.
If I use an action that is already part of the woocommerce_email_actions such as add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_failed_to_processing_notification', array( $this, 'trigger' ) ); and manually change the order status in the backend everything works just fine.
Problem is I want to use add_action( 'woocommerce_customer_save_address', array( $this, 'trigger' ) ); and unfortunately it never fires.
Based on some other threads I've tried adding the following to my main plugin file
function new_woocommerce_email_actions( $actions ){
$actions[] = 'woocommerce_customer_save_address';
return $actions;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_actions', 'new_woocommerce_email_actions' );
Supposedly this should allow me to use the action in my custom class, but no luck. I've also tried adding other actions without any success. For instance using the filter to add woocommerce_order_status_cancelled won't fire when manually changing the order to cancelled. I'm struggling to figure out why this isn't working and most of the the threads I've found are 2+ years old and dead, so here I am. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Posting as an answer in case others are trying to get this functionality working.
I found this article from Tyche Softwares after extensive digging and was able to create a plugin that will send a custom WC_Email whenever a customer updates their address information.
I'm still not 100% as to why the add_filter('woocommerce_email_actions'... wasn't working, and if anyone can tell me why I'd still be interested.
This plugin works by calling a custom action defined in my extended WC_Email class via do_action whenever the existing woocommerce_customer_save_address action happens.
I know there are lists of hooks for WordPress like --> http://adambrown.info/p/wp_hooks/hook
But if I want to find hooks for a plugin like WC Vendors there is a much shorter list of hooks on their website.
Are 'do_action' and 'apply filter' functions the only thing we can modify?
If given a class like --> https://github.com/wcvendors/wcvendors/blob/master/classes/admin/class-product-meta.php#L10, is there any way to modify it?
Are we limited to the do_action hooks or is there a way to modify other areas as well? Can we use the WordPress hooks to hook into the WC Vendors plugin as well?
Mostly you should try to accomplish any task with hooks, but some tasks are just not possible without actually modifying the actual code. But we all know its not good to modify core code, as all changes disappear after an update. So instead of modifying a class, you can extend it. You can override the current features and also add new ones. Extending a class is as easy as using a relavant hook in functions.php and then extending it in the same file or requiring it from another file. Here is an official tutorial on how to add a new shipping method to the woocommerce shipping class.
Sometimes you dont even need all the hooks, you just need to find the ones that are running on a specific page. For this you can use the code below to list all the current hooks.
$debug_tags = array();
add_action( 'all', function ( $tag ) {
global $debug_tags;
if ( in_array( $tag, $debug_tags ) ) {
return;
}
echo "<pre>" . $tag . "</pre>";
$debug_tags[] = $tag;
} );
Or you can use this plugin "simply show hooks"which is really helpful while development as it gives you an idea of where each hook is being triggered on the page.
I have developed a custom wordpress plugin, many users have started using it, but now I have updates available for the plugin and want to display a message to the users who have older versions of the plugin on there site.
How can I modify the code of my plugin so that once I make updates to it, it should trigger a message to the users on the plugin dashboard that there are updates to available to your plugin.
Here is a scenario:
Say a user has version 1.0 of my plugin and the place where I host the plugin has version 1.2, how can I notify the user on his plugins page that my plugin has an updated version??
Although user3042036 answer is great, and very comprehensive, I thought I would entend his / her answer with a open source solution.
This is what you are looking for: WordPress Plugin Update Notifier
First, good practice is to create a constant for your current plugin version, and create an activation and deactivation hook for your plugin. This allows you to check things like version numbers, and do some general initialization.
define ( 'MY_PLUGIN_VERSION', '2.0.0');
register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'my_plugin_activation'));
register_deactivation_hook(__FILE__, 'my_plugin_deactivation'));
function my_plugin_activation() {
// Initialize some stuff for my_plugin
}
function my_plugin_deactivation() {
// Welp, I've been deactivated - are there some things I should clean up?
}
Here is an example of a typical update function:
function my_plugin_activation() {
$version = get_option( 'my_plugin_version' );
if( version_compare($version, '2.0.0', '<')) {
// Do some special things when we update to 2.0.0.
}
update_option( 'my_plugin_version', MY_PLUGIN_VERSION );
return MY_PLUGIN_VERSION;
}
There is no hook for when your plugin is updated. You, as a plugin
author, have to manually check the plugin version. First, you want to
create a simple function which will tell you if your plugin is up to
date:
function my_plugin_is_current_version(){
$version = get_option( 'my_plugin_version' );
return version_compare($version, MY_PLUGIN_VERSION, '=') ? true : false;
}
Then, test if your plugin is up to date, and call your update function (or in this case we call the same function as we would if the plugin was updated!):
if ( !my_plugin_is_current_version() ) my_plugin_activation();
Testing the update process from one version to the next is not all that complicated, though it is kinda cumbersome. Maybe someone has a better way, if so please tell me!
You can’t really see any errors when you activate a plugin, so the first step is to create a very simple hook to store plugin activation errors. In this case, we store these errors in error_activation.html in the plugin folder
add_action('activated_plugin', 'my_plugin_activation_error');
my_plugin_activation_error() {
file_put_contents( plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . '/error_activation.html', ob_get_contents());
}
i'm writing my first plugin for wordpress and i have some doubts regarding the hooks.
So i want an action to be executed when admin saves a post, and i'm using (inside a class):
add_action( 'save_post', array($this, 'save_post'));
function save_post(){
global $wp_query;
var_dump($wp_query);
}
the problem is that it prints the global variable when admin opens the "create a new post" and it doesn't when the user saves a post.
I want it to happen the other way around, but i can't find anything in the docs, and i'm completely alone here.
Any help? thanks
I think you're looking for the 'publish_post' action. There's also a 'draft_post' if you need it.
