OceanWP Ocean Hooks

Customizing a theme often means editing a child theme or touching template files. OceanWP Ocean Hooks gives you another route. You choose a predefined hook location in OceanWP and add content, a shortcode or PHP code there. Because the changes live outside the theme files, they are kept apart from theme updates.

Each hook can be limited to the people and pages you pick. You can show content by login status or user role, and target specific pages, posts or custom taxonomies. Several pieces of content can sit at the same hook location. Hooks can be created and activated from the OceanWP Theme Panel under My Library, so page builder designs can serve as hook content.

Features

• Layered content per hook: Add different custom content to the same hook location, so several customizations can sit in one spot without conflicting with each other.
• Shortcode support: Insert shortcodes into a hook to extend functionality or display dynamic content in the places you choose on your OceanWP site.
• PHP code in hooks: A built-in PHP editor lets you run PHP snippets inside a hook for more advanced customizations, right from the hook interface.
• Login status conditions: Show content only to logged in or logged out visitors, so each group sees information that fits them.
• User role targeting: Limit custom content to selected user roles, so relevant information reaches the intended audience only.
• Page, post and taxonomy control: Display your custom code on selected pages, posts or custom taxonomies, giving you precise control over where it appears.
• Theme Panel and page builder use: Create and activate hooks through the OceanWP Theme Panel under My Library, and use page builder designs as hook content.
• Front end hook display: An admin bar toggle shows hooks on the front end, which makes placement and debugging easier to see.
