 12. Hooks: Actions and filters
Introduction: What are hooks?
Hooks in WordPress essentially allow you to change or add code without editing core files. They are used extensively throughout WordPress and WordPress User Document and are very useful for developers.
There are two types of hook: actions and filters.
Action Hooks allow you to insert custom code at various points (wherever the hook is run).
Filter Hooks allow you to manipulate and return a variable which it passes 
Using hooks
If you use a hook to add or manipulate code, you can add your custom code in a variety of ways:
To a custom child theme’s functions.php file.
Using a plugin such as Code Snippets.
Using action hooks
To execute your own code, you hook in by using the action hook do_action('action_name');. Here is where to place your code:
1
add_action( 'action_name', 'your_function_name' );
2
​
3
function your_function_name() {
4
// Your code
5
}
Copied!
Using filter hooks
Filter hooks are called throughout are code using apply_filter( 'filter_name', $variable );. To manipulate the passed variable, you can do something like the following:
1
add_filter( 'filter_name', 'your_function_name' );
2
​
3
function your_function_name( $variable ) {
4
// Your code
5
return $variable;
6
}
Copied!
With filters, you must return a value.

14. Updating Plguin
Once the new version gets released, you can update via WordPress or FTP .
Update via FTP:
 This is the safest way. If you have access via FTP to your site files, you can update the old one simply by overwriting your wp-content/plugins/wordpress-user-document folder with the newer one.
Update via WordPress:
 You deactivate and delete the plugin on the Plugin’s administration page of WordPress and upload and active the updated plugin. We recommend the via FTP solution, because it’s safer.
Notice: You should not use the way Update via WordPress. Because this way if you have any changes in plugin folder it will be deleted.
