Hooks - Football Leagues Docs

Football Leagues renders its pages from PHP templates, and those templates fire WordPress filters and actions you can hook into. This page documents the stable ones: what each passes, where it fires, and what a working callback looks like. It’s for people who write custom PHP or maintain theme template overrides. If you’re looking for on/off switches, those live in Settings & Tools > Settings, not here.

🚀 Before you start

• Where callbacks go. A child theme’s functions.php, or a small site-specific plugin. Never inside a template you copied into the theme.
• The theme override folder is yourtheme/anwp-football-leagues/ – the old plugin folder name, kept as a public path. Not football-leagues-by-anwppro.
• Copying a template removes the hooks inside it. Most anwpfl/tmpl-* hooks are fired from template files, not from PHP classes. Override club/club-header.php in your theme and you silently drop anwpfl/tmpl-club/fields_top and fields_bottom for every other plugin on the site.
• Timing. Almost every hook here fires mid-request, so a file-scope add_filter() in functions.php is in time. Two are read inside a class constructor instead – anwpfl/player/use_short_name and anwpfl/cache/is_active – and those classes are built on init priority 0. A theme loads during setup_theme, so file-scope registration still wins. A callback you add from inside another init callback does not.

🎯 Reorder or remove sections on a page

Every entity page is a list of section slugs. The template walks that list and loads one partial per slug, so slug stats loads templates/match/match-stats.php. Filter the list and you reorder, remove or repeat blocks without touching a single template file.

Filter	Arguments	Fired at
anwpfl/tmpl-match/sections	array $sections, array $game_data, WP_Post $game_post	core templates/content-match.php:78 premium :141
anwpfl/tmpl-club/sections	array $club_sections, array $data	core templates/content-club.php:86 premium :102
anwpfl/tmpl-player/sections	array $player_sections, array $player_data, int $player_id	core templates/content-player.php:91 premium :90
anwpfl/tmpl-referee/sections	array $staff_sections, int $staff_id	core templates/content-referee.php:54
anwpfl/tmpl-staff/sections	array $staff_sections, int $staff_id	core templates/content-staff.php:56
anwpfl/tmpl-stadium/sections	array $stadium_sections, int $stadium_id	core templates/content-stadium.php:45

Default section lists

PRO ships more blocks than the free plugin, so the list you receive depends on which plugins are active. Both are shown here in render order.

Page	Free plugin	With PRO
Match	goals, penalty_shootout, missed_penalties, lineups, substitutes, missing, referees, video, cards, stats, summary, gallery, latest	timeline, goals, penalty_shootout, missed_penalties, formation, lineups, substitutes, missing, referees, video, cards, stats, player-stats, summary, gallery, latest, h2h, commentary, custom-code
Club	header, description, fixtures, latest, squad, gallery	header, description, game-stats, fixtures, latest, squad, stats, gallery, transfers National teams and other “summary” clubs get the free list instead.
Player	header, description, stats, matches, missed, gallery	header, stats_panel, description, stats, matches, missed, gallery
Referee	header, fixtures, finished, description
Staff	header, description, history
Stadium	header, description, fixtures, latest, gallery, map

A working example

Move the statistics block up under the goals, and drop the gallery. Because it edits the array it receives instead of returning a fixed one, this snippet behaves correctly on both the free plugin and PRO:

add_filter( 'anwpfl/tmpl-match/sections', function ( $sections ) {

	// Pull 'stats' out, then re-insert it right after 'goals'.
	$sections = array_values( array_diff( $sections, [ 'stats' ] ) );
	$position = array_search( 'goals', $sections, true );

	array_splice( $sections, false === $position ? 0 : $position + 1, 0, [ 'stats' ] );

	// Drop the gallery entirely.
	return array_values( array_diff( $sections, [ 'gallery' ] ) );
} );

Older snippets you may find online return a hard-coded array instead. Don’t copy those. The free plugin’s match list has 13 entries and the PRO list has 19, so a hard-coded free-plugin array deletes six blocks the moment PRO is activated – the timeline, formation, player stats, head-to-head, commentary and custom code – and nothing tells you it happened.

Slugs are filenames

The canonical list of slugs for a page is the contents of that entity’s template folder, with the entity prefix stripped. Match sections live in templates/match/match-*.php, club sections in templates/club/club-*.php, and so on. To list what a given install actually has:

ls wp-content/plugins/football-leagues-by-anwppro/templates/match/
ls wp-content/plugins/football-leagues-by-anwppro-premium/templates/match/

Files with a double dash (match--slim.php, match--small.php) are card layouts used in match lists, not page sections. Reordering and removing are the safe operations; adding a slug only works if a partial of that name exists.

If your snippet never worked on a PRO site

Between January 2020 and Premium 0.18.4, PRO’s own copies of the Match, Club and Player content templates didn’t fire sections, before_wrapper or after_wrapper. Because PRO templates take priority over the free ones, a snippet targeting those hooks did nothing on a PRO site and everything on a free one, with no error either way. All eight hooks fire again as of Premium 0.18.4, on both plugins. If you worked around it by copying a template, you can now delete the copy.

Replace a whole page

Three hooks control whether Football Leagues renders one of its own pages at all. This is the seam the Layout Builder itself uses, so it’s a supported way to hand a single entity page to your own code.

Hook	Kind	What it does	Fired at
anwpfl/template/loading_check	filter	Array of booleans deciding whether the plugin takes over the_content at all. Every value must be truthy. Add false to stand down completely.	core includes/class-anwpfl-template.php:362
anwpfl/template/load_default_template	filter	(bool $load, string $post_type, WP_Post $post). Return false to skip the built-in template.	core includes/class-anwpfl-template.php:365
anwpfl/template/load_alt_template	action	(string $post_type, WP_Post $post). Fires only when the filter above returned false. Echo your own markup here.	core includes/class-anwpfl-template.php:377

add_filter( 'anwpfl/template/load_default_template', function ( $load, $post_type, $post ) {

	return 'anwp_stadium' === $post_type ? false : $load;
}, 8, 3 );

add_action( 'anwpfl/template/load_alt_template', function ( $post_type, $post ) {

	if ( 'anwp_stadium' === $post_type ) {
		echo my_theme_render_stadium( $post->ID ); // Already escaped.
	}
}, 8, 2 );

Pick your priority deliberately. Layout Builder v2 claims pages on this filter at priority 9 and Layout Builder v1 at priority 10. A callback at 10 or later runs after a builder has already claimed the page, so use 8 or lower to win, or 11 and up to defer to any layout the site owner has built.

Inject markup into a page

These fire at fixed points inside the rendered page. Echo directly from the callback – the output lands where the hook sits.

Hook	Kind	Arguments	Fired at
anwpfl/tmpl-match/render_header	filter	bool $render, WP_Post $game_post	core templates/content-match.php:51, premium :91
anwpfl/tmpl-match/after_header	action	WP_Post $game_post, array $game_data	core templates/content-match.php:55, premium :103
anwpfl/match/match-header-bottom	action	int $match_id, array $data	core templates/match/match.php:264, premium :282
anwpfl/tmpl-match/lineups_after_header	action	array $data	core templates/match/match-lineups.php:107, premium :121
anwpfl/tmpl-club/fields_top	action	WP_Post $club, array $data	core templates/club/club-header.php:77, premium :93
anwpfl/tmpl-club/fields_bottom	action	WP_Post $club, array $data	core templates/club/club-header.php:234, premium :250
anwpfl/tmpl-stadium/fields_top	action	WP_Post $stadium	core templates/stadium/stadium-header.php:54
anwpfl/tmpl-stadium/fields_bottom	action	WP_Post $stadium	core templates/stadium/stadium-header.php:187
anwpfl/tmpl-competition/after_group_standing	action	object $group, object $competition, int $competition_post_id	core templates/content-competition.php:341 and content-competition--tabs.php:311

The club and stadium fields_top / fields_bottom pair sits inside the header’s field grid, so echo a matching pair of divs (a label cell and a value cell) rather than a block of your own.

add_action( 'anwpfl/tmpl-club/fields_bottom', function ( $club, $data ) {

	$nickname = get_post_meta( $club->ID, '_my_club_nickname', true );

	if ( ! $nickname ) {
		return;
	}

	echo '<div class="club-header__option-title anwp-text-sm">Nickname</div>';
	echo '<div class="club-header__option-value">' . esc_html( $nickname ) . '</div>';
}, 10, 2 );

Page wrappers

Every entity page brackets its output with a pair of actions, outside the plugin’s .anwp-b-wrap container. They’re the right place for a banner above a page or extra content below it. The plugin uses after_wrapper itself to print the Custom Content Below field on Match, Club and Player.

Page	Hooks	Argument passed
Match	anwpfl/tmpl-match/after_wrapper only	WP_Post
Club	anwpfl/tmpl-club/before_wrapper, after_wrapper	WP_Post
Stadium	anwpfl/tmpl-stadium/after_wrapper only	WP_Post
Player	anwpfl/tmpl-player/before_wrapper, after_wrapper	int post ID
Competition	anwpfl/tmpl-competition/before_wrapper, after_wrapper	int post ID
Referee	anwpfl/tmpl-referee/before_wrapper, after_wrapper	int post ID
Staff	anwpfl/tmpl-staff/before_wrapper, after_wrapper	int post ID
Standing	anwpfl/tmpl-standing/before_wrapper, after_wrapper	int post ID

The match header on a PRO site

anwpfl/tmpl-match/render_header looks like a simple on/off switch, and on the free plugin it is. PRO replaces the plain header with its scoreboard by forcing that filter to false and rendering its own markup on after_header. So on a PRO site, returning true from a later callback brings the plain header back but leaves the scoreboard in place – you get both. To get only the plain core header you have to undo both halves:

add_action( 'wp', function () {

	if ( ! function_exists( 'anwp_fl_pro' ) ) {
		return;
	}

	remove_filter( 'anwpfl/tmpl-match/render_header', '__return_false' );
	remove_action( 'anwpfl/tmpl-match/after_header', [ anwp_fl_pro()->match, 'render_scoreboard' ], 10 );
} );

Change the data a template receives

Filter	Arguments	Fired at
anwpfl/tmpl-club/data_fields	array $data, WP_Post $club	core templates/content-club.php:52 and templates/shortcode-club.php:75; premium templates/content-club.php:52 and includes/class-anwpfl-premium-club.php:575
anwpfl/tmpl-competition/competitions_prepared	array $competitions, int $competition_post_id, bool $is_multistage, array $matches	core templates/content-competition.php:46 and content-competition--tabs.php:46

anwpfl/tmpl-club/data_fields is the club hook with the widest reach – it’s the one place fired by the club page, the club shortcode and the PRO club header alike. Note that the shortcode copy casts the result to an object, so return an array and let the template do the casting.

add_filter( 'anwpfl/tmpl-club/data_fields', function ( $data, $club ) {

	$data['website'] = get_post_meta( $club->ID, '_my_official_site', true ) ?: $data['website'];

	return $data;
}, 10, 2 );

anwpfl/tmpl-competition/competitions_prepared receives the list of stages a multi-stage competition page is about to render, already ordered. Use it to hide a stage, reorder them, or append one from elsewhere.

Naming, config and assets

Filter	What it controls	Fired at
anwpfl/player/use_short_name	Whether player names render in their short form site-wide. Default true. Read in the constructor – register at file scope.	core includes/class-anwpfl-player.php:38
anwpfl/club/use_club_abbr	Whether club abbreviations are used where a short name is needed. Default true.	core includes/class-anwpfl-club.php:2296, :2352
anwpfl/config/countries	The country list used by every country selector and flag.	core includes/class-anwpfl-data.php:724
anwpfl/config/positions	Active player position codes, in display order. Unknown codes are dropped and g is always kept. Since 0.18.4.	core includes/class-anwpfl-data.php:1019
anwpfl/config/game_special_statuses	The special status list – PST, TBD, CANC by default.	core includes/class-anwpfl-data.php:1371
anwpfl/assets/load_legacy_bootstrap	Whether the legacy Bootstrap stylesheet is enqueued.	core includes/class-anwpfl-assets.php:228
anwpfl/assets/load_legacy_grid	Whether the legacy grid stylesheet is enqueued.	core includes/class-anwpfl-assets.php:259

The two legacy stylesheets are opt-out, not opt-in: both load unless the matching Appearance setting is set to “no”. Returning false from the filter is the code-side way to drop them, which is worth about 45 KB of CSS on a theme that doesn’t need them.

add_filter( 'anwpfl/assets/load_legacy_bootstrap', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'anwpfl/assets/load_legacy_grid', '__return_false' );

// Add two positions to the pickers, keeping the plugin's own.
add_filter( 'anwpfl/config/positions', function ( $codes ) {

	return array_merge( $codes, [ 'cb', 'cm' ] );
} );

React to data changes

Action	Arguments	Covers	Fired at
anwpfl/match/on_save	array $data, array $post_data	Admin game editor only.	core includes/class-anwpfl-match.php:1069
anwpfl/match/inserted	int $match_id, array $data	Every path that creates a game – admin, CSV import, API import, Import Matches.	core includes/class-anwpfl-match.php:1586
anwp_fl_edit_post	int $post_id, WP_Post $post	Front-end match editing and API import updates. The plugin’s own cache listens here.	premium includes/class-anwpfl-premium-match-public.php:460, :681; includes/class-anwpfl-premium-api-data.php:2537, :2770
anwpfl/club/on_save	int $post_id, array $_POST	Club saved in the admin.	core includes/class-anwpfl-club.php:1040
anwpfl/player/on_save	int $post_id, array $_POST	Player saved in the admin.	core includes/class-anwpfl-player.php:675
anwpfl/standing/on_save	array $data, int $post_id	Standing table saved.	core includes/class-anwpfl-standing.php:2485

add_action( 'anwpfl/match/inserted', function ( $match_id, $data ) {

	if ( empty( $data['finished'] ) ) {
		my_addon_queue_preview_image( (int) $match_id );
	}
}, 10, 2 );

add_action( 'anwp_fl_edit_post', function ( $post_id, $post ) {

	my_addon_purge_external_cdn( $post->post_type, (int) $post_id );
}, 10, 2 );

Caching

Filter	What it does	Fired at
anwpfl/cache/is_active	Master switch for the plugin’s own cache layer. Read in the constructor – register at file scope.	core includes/class-anwpfl-cache.php:71
anwpfl/cache/expiration_map	array $map, string $cache_group, string $cache_key. Keys are the part of the cache key before __. Anything unlisted falls back to one hour.	core includes/class-anwpfl-cache.php:216
anwpfl/cache/excluded_keys	Array of cache keys to never read or write. Useful to isolate one slow query while you debug it.	core includes/class-anwpfl-cache.php:122, :152

add_filter( 'anwpfl/cache/expiration_map', function ( $map ) {

	$map['FL-PLAYER_get_birthdays'] = WEEK_IN_SECONDS;

	return $map;
} );

Register templates from a plugin

A theme needs no filter – drop a copy of the file into yourtheme/anwp-football-leagues/ and it wins. A plugin that ships its own Football Leagues templates registers its folder on anwpfl_template_paths, which is an array keyed by priority, lowest wins:

Priority	Location
1	Child theme anwp-football-leagues/
10	Parent theme anwp-football-leagues/
50	Football Leagues PRO templates/
100	Football Leagues (free) templates/

add_filter( 'anwpfl_template_paths', function ( $file_paths ) {

	// Beat PRO, lose to the theme.
	$file_paths[30] = plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'fl-templates/';

	return $file_paths;
} );

The filter is applied in two places: the template loader (vendor/class-gamajo-template-loader.php:293) and the Template Status scanner (includes/class-anwpfl-template-status.php:140). Registering a path correctly means your plugin’s templates also show up on the Template Status screen with their version state, which is the main reason to use the filter instead of filtering the final path.

How to tell whether a hook still fires

grep -rn "anwpfl/tmpl-match/sections" wp-content/plugins/football-leagues-by-anwppro*/

Lines containing apply_filters or do_action are the places the hook fires. Lines containing add_filter or add_action are the plugin’s own listeners – they prove nothing about whether the hook is still emitted. Search for the hook name alone rather than apply_filters( 'anwpfl/..., because some calls put the name on its own line. If you bought PRO and never installed the free plugin separately, PRO carries its own copy of the free plugin in football-leagues-by-anwppro-premium/core/ – search there too.

Three hooks are known to be gone. anwpfl/tmpl-match/sections_tabs was removed with the match tab layout and no longer exists. anwpfl/standing/cached_meta_keys and anwpfl/standing/fields_to_clone stopped being applied in 0.18.0, when standings moved to a custom table – nothing replaces them, because the data they described is no longer in postmeta.

Full hook reference

These hooks are real and safe to use, but each is a single extension point in a single template and gets no worked example here – the name and the location are enough. Arguments and @since tags are in the docblock at each line.

Competition page

All core-only, fired from both templates/content-competition.php and content-competition--tabs.php. Line numbers below are the non-tabs file. Every render_* filter returns a boolean – return false and that piece is skipped.

What this page doesn’t cover

Football Leagues fires more than 260 distinct hooks across both plugins. Around 150 of them are deliberately left out of this reference: API import tuning knobs, Vue app wiring, metabox splices, shortcode-builder internals, upgrade and diagnostics plumbing, and the coordination hooks the Layout Builder engine uses. They’re wiring between the plugin’s own moving parts, they change between releases without notice, and documenting one would turn it into a promise we don’t intend to keep. If you find one in the source and it’s the only way to do what you need, ask on the support forum first – there’s often a supported hook nearby, and if there isn’t, that’s a good reason to add one.

Layout Builder v2 blocks are the one deliberate exception. They carry no hooks of their own and are extended through a single filter, documented separately in Layout Builder Block Filter.
