Priority on remove_action

    Just a general question regarding remove_action.
    If I hook up a function, I use add_action, and I can add a priority to it. Very useful and very clear. No problem.
    But my question is; if I un-hook a function with remove_action, I can optionally give a priority too, and as far as I understood, it should be the same priority as given when the action was hooked.

    But why would I want to give a priority when removing it? I just want it to be removed, I don’t care about it’s initial priority. (Do I?)
    In other words; what is the reason of giving a (initial) priority when removing an action?

  • Theoretically you could add a function to a hook twice at two different priorities, and might only want to remove one?

    That makes sense JakePT. Thanks!
    (I asked this question on some more places and this is the only answer not saying: “I don’t know, I just do it” ??
