AnWP Hooks Visualizer Add-on - Sports Leagues Docs

The Hooks Visualizer displays all WordPress action hooks on any page of your website. It helps you identify exactly where you can inject custom content using the Blocks Everywhere add-on or custom PHP code.

🎯 How It Works

1. Enable – Click “Show Action Hooks” in the admin toolbar
2. Discover – See all hook locations highlighted on the page
3. Copy – Click any hook indicator to copy its name
4. Use – Paste the hook name in Blocks Everywhere or your PHP code

🚀 Activation

1. Navigate to Sports Leagues > Add-ons
2. Find the “AnWP Hooks” card
3. Click Activate

Using the Hooks Visualizer

Enable Hook Display

While on any frontend page (logged in as admin), click “Show Action Hooks” in the admin toolbar.

The page will reload with hook indicators visible throughout the page.

Copy Hook Names

Click on any hook indicator to copy its name to clipboard. A brief confirmation appears when copied.

Disable Hook Display

Click “Hide Action Hooks” in the admin toolbar, or remove ?anwp_hooks=1 from the URL.

Using Discovered Hooks

With Blocks Everywhere (No Coding)

1. Copy hook name from Hooks Visualizer
2. Create new item in Blocks Everywhere
3. Paste hook name in the Action Hook field
4. Design content with Gutenberg blocks
5. Publish

See Blocks Everywhere documentation for detailed instructions.

With PHP Code

Add to your theme’s functions.php or a code snippets plugin:

add_action( 'hook-name-here', 'my_custom_function' );

function my_custom_function() {
    echo '<div>Your custom content</div>';
}

🆘 Troubleshooting

Hooks Not Visible

1. Verify add-on is active in Sports Leagues > Add-ons
2. Confirm you’re logged in as administrator
3. Check you’re on a frontend page (not admin area)
4. Clear all caches

Too Many Hooks Displayed

This is normal – WordPress pages contain many hooks. Focus on hooks with sports-leagues/ prefix for plugin-specific hooks. Use your browser’s Find feature (Ctrl+F / Cmd+F) to search for specific patterns.

❓ FAQ

Can visitors see the hooks?

No. Only administrators can see hook indicators.

Does it work in the admin dashboard?

No. The Hooks Visualizer only works on frontend pages.

Does it show filters too?

No. Only action hooks are displayed. Filters require code to use and aren’t practical to visualize.
