Why, when I want to use
add_filter( 'author_link', 'foo', 10, 3 );
function foo ( $link, $author_id, $author_nicename ) {}
Why do I have to use 3 required parameters?
Why can’t I do this:
add_filter( 'author_link', 'foo' );
function foo ( $author_id ) {}
It would be nice to get some article(s) about this. Thanks in advance.
PS beginner in WP-dev.^
It’s allowed to do this theoretically, however it’s not guaranteed that 2nd and 3rd parameters would be properly delivered to your function. If you need to make sure that first two parameters are correctly passed you should declare this like:
add_filter( ‘author_link’, ‘foo’, 10, 2 );
function foo ( $link, $author_id ) {}
