Custom hooks

    Hi,

    I would like to use several wp_head custom hooks for the purpose of inserting one code above another code in the head.

    To do this, I set the custom hooks as follows (hook name —> action —> priority):

    Header —> wp_head —> 1
    Header New —> wp_head —> 2

    As you can see in the screenshot, both hooks are enabled.

    Thus only one hook named Header is used in the block settings.
    The second hook named Header New is not used neither in this block nor in any other.

    And now begins the most interesting part.
    If we look at the source code of the page, the code of the block, in which the hook named Header is used, starts to be doubled, as if this block also used the hook named Header New.
    If I uncheck the option with hook named Header New then everything is fine.

    Question: Why is it duplicated if I am not actually using a hook named Header New, but only pointing out that it can be used? Is this the way it should be?

    In other words, should a plugin call a custom hook that is not in use?

    Hello,

    it seems there was a bug in custom hook processing when there was more than one hook with the same action.
    Please use the latest development version which fixes this.

    Thanks for reporting it.

    Thanks for the correction.
    I’ll wait for the appropriate Pro version update.

    By the way, in the priority field can not set a negative value.
    But sometimes it is necessary.
    For example, I have a plugin, which is trying to be the first with priority -2147483647 (the largest number that holds a 32-bit signed int32 integer data type).

    One more thing: In general, I would like to see the limit on the number of characters to be entered removed in all fields in absolutely all plugin settings. This is a ubiquitous limit, which is not due to anything and which is a real pain. Thank you.

    Negative priority doesn’t make sense. Default value is 10:

    The limits can’t be removed. All limits are set so that all settings can be used as designed. If you believe some limit is too small then please name it and describe the reason.
