Actions and Filters for developers

404 to 301 comes with a range of so-called filter and action hooks. These hooks allow you to modify certain functionality in the plugin without having to edit the plugin files itself.

Note

This doc is not completed yet. As of now, you may not find all the available hooks here.

As you know, there are two types of hooks: actions and filters.

  • Filters allow you to intercept and modify data as it is processed.
  • Actions allow you to execute code at specific points in a process.

jj4t3_log_list_groupby_allowed

Allowed fields for grouping error log items. These values should be there in jj4t3_log_columns filter’s values.

// Remove ip from allowed values.
function custom_log_list_groupby_allowed( $allowed ) {
