[Support request] Custom hooks

[Vl]

Hi!
I need to add a hook to a specific place on the page. I tried to do this with a Custom hook, but I can not understand what I have to write in the line: “Custom Hook Name”?
How to put a custom hook on a specific place on the page?
Thanks.

Hi there,

Hooks have a specific place in a Template you can see the majority of them in these visual guides:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/hooks-visual-guide/

Custom Hook fields are used for hooks that aren’t listed or those that are within another plugin.

Thanks for the answer.
Can I attach a hook to an ID or class?
This is necessary in order to insert a hook anywhere on the page, for example, inside an article.

Unfortunately not – that would be pretty cool 🙂

What you can do is filter the_content(). Example here was used to add the featured image after the 2nd paragraph:

Thanks for the answer.
I have another question not about Custom hooks.
For example, the site has the following structure:
http://www.site.com/page1/page2/page3/
Is it possible to insert a hook on the “page1” so that it is automatically inserted on the “page2” and “page3”?

[David]

Hooks are a part of the Post Template. So if you add content to a Hook and set that to display on All Pages for example then that content would appear on all Pages including paginated ones.

That is, I can add a hook only to all pages or to individual pages that I choose in the settings.
And I cannot add a hook to the parent page so that it is automatically added to all child pages.
This is true?

[David]

Thats correct. Currently you would have to select the child pages in the display rules as well.

Thank you.

Glad to be of help

Hi there

I want to add a custom hook to my posts above a custom block that is at the bottom of each post. I have tried adding codes from the custom block and others from inspecting the items on the page.

Am I adding the wrong code or is it not possible to create a hook anywhere?

I was trying all sorts with ‘generate_before…’

(I did install Code Snippets plugin, but didn’t know where to start)

Thanks for all your tutorials and replies – GP Rocks!
