No worries at all—happy to explain!
In WordPress, filters are a type of hook that allow you to modify data before it’s sent to the database or displayed on the screen. Essentially, they let you change how WordPress outputs content, processes data, or behaves in specific situations without modifying core files.What is a Filter Hook?
A filter hook is used to filter or modify the default behavior of WordPress or a plugin. For example, if you want to change the text that is displayed for the “Sale” badge in WooCommerce, you can use a filter to alter that output.
Filters are a way to customize WordPress without directly changing core files, which is a good practice because updates won’t override your changes.
Does this help ?
