Your plugin needs to wait for the themes functions.php
file to be loaded. Try this:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Demo Plugin
Version: 1.0
*/
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
do_action( 'basic_action_demo' );
} );
?>
The after_setup_theme
hook is run immediately after functions.php
is loaded.
Update for your comment below.
In your plugin create a function for your form:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Demo Plugin
Version: 1.0
*/
function output_my_form () {
echo "I'm a form";
// do your action here
do_action( 'basic_action_demo' );
}
?>
Then in your theme’s functions.php
:
if ( function_exists( 'output_my_form' ) ) {
output_my_form();
}
This is a simple example. In reality you would want to call that function from a form.php
in your theme.
