Change How WordPress Works Without Editing Core Files — Using Hooks and Filters
WordPress hooks and filters let you modify how WordPress behaves by adding custom code to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin. You can change what appears in your header, modify the content of every post, alter checkout behaviour, or add custom functionality — all without touching WordPress core files, which would be overwritten with every update.
“Hooks and filters are the professional way to customise WordPress. One line of code in the right place can change how your entire site works.”
