Filters and actions are both assigned to hooks. Functions assigned to hooks are stored in global $wp_filter variable. So all you have to do is to print_r it. print_r($GLOBALS[‘wp_filter’]); PS. add_action function makes a add_filter call. And the latter does $wp_filter[$tag][$priority][$idx]. NOTE: you can directly add this code in functions.php, and you will see a … Read more
When you click ‘New Post’, you’re simply loading the page wp-admin/post-new.php. In doing so, WordPress will always create a new post (an ‘Auto Draft’) to ensure all other features (such as media uploads) and plugins work as normal, even before you actually save a draft or publish the post.

Example: /** * Stores a value and calls any existing function with this value. */ class WPSE_Filter_Storage { /** * Filled by __construct(). Used by … Read more
The best thing to do here is to use a static class. The following code should be instructional: class MyClass { function __construct() { add_action( ‘wp_footer’, array( $this, ‘my_action’ ) ); } function my_action() { print ‘<h1>’ . __class__ . ‘ – ‘ . __function__ . ‘</h1>’; } } new MyClass(); class MyStaticClass { public … Read more
