Removed WordPress Core Hooks #

The following WordPress core hooks are explicitly removed by the theme for security and performance:

---

Usage Examples #

Removing a Theme Action #

To disable a specific theme feature, use remove_action with the matching hook, callback, and priority:

// Disable Three.js particle background (load your own instead)
remove_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'sinematik_scripts' );

// Disable schema JSON-LD output
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'sinematik_schema_jsonld', 99 );

// Disable maintenance mode
remove_action( 'template_redirect', 'sinematik_maintenance_mode' );

// Disable TOC generation
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'sinematik_toc', 10 );

// Disable lazy image enhancements
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'sinematik_lazy_images', 99 );

// Disable Open Graph / Twitter Card meta
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'sinematik_social_meta', 5 );

Adding Custom Body Classes #

add_filter( 'body_class', function( array $classes ): array {
    if ( is_page( 'pricing' ) ) {
        $classes[] = 'pricing-page';
    }
    return $classes;
} );

Modifying the robots.txt Output #

add_filter( 'robots_txt', function( string $output, string $public ): string {
    // Add a custom disallow rule
    $output .= "Disallow: /private/\n";
    return $output;
}, 20, 2 );

Customizing Excerpt Length at Runtime #

// Override excerpt length for specific contexts
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', function( int $length ): int {
    if ( is_search() ) {
        return 15;
    }
    return $length;
} );

Adding Content After the TOC #

// The TOC filter runs at priority 10, lazy images at 99.
// To inject content before the TOC processes, hook earlier:
add_filter( 'the_content', function( string $content ): string {
    if ( is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
        $custom = '<div class="post-notice">Premium content ahead.</div>';
        return $custom . $content;
    }
    return $content;
}, 5 );

Disabling Security Headers (e.g., for development) #

remove_action( 'send_headers', 'sinematik_security_headers' );

Customizing the Login Page #

// Override the login logo URL
add_filter( 'login_headerurl', function(): string {
    return 'https://example.com/custom-page/';
} );

// Add custom login page CSS
add_action( 'login_enqueue_scripts', function(): void {
    wp_add_inline_style( 'sinematik-login', '.login h1 a { width: 200px !important; }' );
} );
