Plugin hooks and filters

Plugin hooks can be used to alter the plugin functionality or output without directly editing the plugin files (you should not do that, as those changes will get overwritten on update). This is for advanced users who are comfortable with PHP only.

Block Shortcode Hooks

Block shortcodes are used in our Modern Templates to output different parts of the recipe. All of these have a plugin hook to filter the attributes and one to filter the output.

Filter Block Shortcodes Attributes

Filter what’s used as the shortcode attributes using the shortcode_atts_%wprm_shortcode_with_underscores% hook. For example:

function recipe_name_attributes( $attributes ) {
	return $attributes;
}
add_filter( 'shortcode_atts_wprm_recipe_name', 'recipe_name_attributes' );

Filter Block Shortcodes Output

Filter what a block shortcode outputs using the  %wprm_shortcode_with_underscores%_shortcode hook. For example:

function recipe_name_output( $output, $attributes, $recipe ) {
	return $output;
}
add_filter( 'wprm_recipe_name_shortcode', 'recipe_name_output', 10, 3 );

Take note: for general blocks the $recipe variable will not be set.

This table lists all other available plugin hooks:
