pre_option_(option) │ filter-hook │ WP 1.5.0

Filters the value of an existing option before it is retrieved.

The dynamic portion of the hook name, $option, refers to the option name.

Returning a truthy value from the filter will effectively short-circuit retrieval and return the passed value instead.

Usage

add_filter( 'pre_option_(option)', 'wp_kama_pre_option_filter', 10, 3 );

/**
 * Function for `pre_option_(option)` filter-hook.
 * 
 * @param mixed  $pre_option The value to return instead of the option value. This differs from `$default`, which is used as the fallback value in the event the option doesn't exist elsewhere in get_option().
 * @param string $option     Option name.
 * @param mixed  $default    The fallback value to return if the option does not exist.
 *
 * @return mixed
 */
function wp_kama_pre_option_filter( $pre_option, $option, $default ){

	// filter...
	return $pre_option;
}

$pre_option(mixed): The value to return instead of the option value. This differs from $default, which is used as the fallback value in the event the option doesn't exist elsewhere in get_option().
Default: false (to skip past the short-circuit)
$option(string): Option name.
$default(mixed): The fallback value to return if the option does not exist.
Default: false
