Display all hooks that run on your page

Add the following to your functions.php to display a sequential list of all actions that run on the page you’re viewing.

$debug_tags = array();
add_action( 'all', function ( $tag ) {
	global $debug_tags;
	if ( in_array( $tag, $debug_tags ) ) {
		return;
	}
	echo "<pre>" . $tag . "</pre>";
	$debug_tags[] = $tag;
} );

I find this a real life saver when tracing down bugs that are caused by/in actions/hooks.

That’s really all you need. Some blogposts are a lot shorter than others, but I guess that’s fine 🙂

Ps. I’m aware that I’m using an anonymous function which only works in PHP 5.3+ and a global what is really bad practice. This code snippet should only be used to trace down and solve a bug or do something else devy. Please remove this code afterwards, obviously don’t put this on production environments.

    Thanks for this. Great tip. Only problem is it makes the page hard to read and I was getting errors saying headers already sent. This is what I did.

    In wp_config.php define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);

    Then change

    echo “” . $tag . “”;

    to

    error_log($tag);

    This will put the hooks in /wp_content/debug.log

  9. Top merci
