removing an action in the child theme

  • I have a very basic, very confused question:

    if I do this in the parent theme’s functions.php:

    function some_action(){
    do_action('some_action');
}

function print_hello(){
   echo "hello"
}

add_action('some_action','print_hello');

some_action();

//echos hello

    That’s all fine and dandy. But if in the child theme’s functions.php I do:

    require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . '/functions.php');
var_dump(remove_action('some_action', 'print_hello')); exit;

    I get

    bool(false)

    Why?

    I recently wrote a test:

    if(has_action('some_action', 'print_hello')){
		echo "true";
	}else{
		echo "action deos not exist";
	}

    and got:

    action deos not exist

  • you need to add a hook to “after_setup_theme”

    ie: 

    function demo_after_setup () {

if(has_action('some_action', 'print_hello')){
		echo "true";
	}else{
		echo "action deos not exist";
	}
}
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'demo_after_setup");

    get rid of the REQUIRE_ONCE. That’s not necessary after you add this hook, as WordPress as already done the require.
