- Download and extract the ZIP file.
- Move the folder "WP-Hooks-Locator" to the "wp-content/plugins/" directory of your WordPress installation, e.g. via FTP.
- Once the plugin is activated you will see 'WP Hooks Locator' in the Admin Bar at the top of your site or admin pages.
- Clicking the 'Show Hooks' button will start showing you all the action hooks in the page you're on.
- You can continue to navigate around until you've found the action hook you're looking for, then switch off by clicking 'Hide Hooks'.
- Simple but effective. Enjoy!# WP-Hooks-Locator
