Hooks: generate_after_entry_content?
3 replies · Started by Paul on February 26, 2016
Hey Tom.
I was looking to add a mailchimp form at the end of every post (not page), as an extension of the content. i.e. before the pagination and footer widgets.
I added the code to the generate_after_content hook via the GP Hooks plugin, and this worked perfectly, adding the content exactly where I wanted it.
However, it also added this content after every post excerpt on the blog home page.
Looking at the documentation, it seems there is a generate_after_entry_content hook too? But I can't see that in the GP Hooks plugin UI.
Questions:
1. Will generate_after_entry_content do what I want, including the content ONLY on the entry page (and not the index/excerpts)?
2. How can I restrict that content to posts only? i.e. not pages.
You would have to use a PHP function to use that hook: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/hook-list/
You can try it in GP Hooks by putting it in a conditional:
<?php if ( is_single() ) : ?>
Your code in here
<?php endif; ?>Then check the "Execute PHP" checkbox.
Adding the is_single() test worked with the after_content hook, Tom. Thanks!
Would generate_after_entry_content had worked (in code) without the test? How does that hook differ from the generate_after_content hook?
generate_after_entry_content appears on single post pages above the footer meta (categories, tags etc..).
You can use this PHP function to add stuff to it:
add_action( 'generate_after_entry_content', 'generate_add_after_entry_content' );
function generate_add_after_entry_content()
{ ?>
Your content/code/whatever in here
