A list of non-core actions and filters registered before the `admin_init` action will be shown in the Prioritize Hooks settings page, with the option of overriding the priority of any that you should so wish. At the moment, the hook cannot be changed, just the priority of that callback within its respective hook. Note that priorities will not be overridden until the `wp_loaded` action is run. To disabled a hook, use hyphen(-) as the priority. Leave a priority blank to reset it. ## Screenshots * [[ * A sample view of the Prioritize Hooks settings page where I have overridden the AddCommentsAdds filter attached to `the_content` hook. ## Installation 1. Unpack the plugin zip and upload the contents to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory. Alternatively, upload the plugin zip via the install screen within the WordPress Plugins manager 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins manager in WordPress 3. Override hooks in the override page under Tools. ## FAQ Can I override hooks registered after admin_init? No, not through the settings page. However, the plugin is written in a way that allows for a theme/plugin to call on the overriding functionality at any time. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8afe25cdeeae07803146968adaec4c8eb01602a291f1dd4b128e51f7ae345e1d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Doesn’t work in 2020](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-in-2020/)󠁿 [jcfromkc](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jcfromkc/) August 6, 2020 I just installed this plugin and received a bunch of error messages.
