has_action() – Function | Developer.WordPress.org

Checks if any action has been registered for a hook.

Description

When using the $callback argument, this function may return a non-boolean value that evaluates to false (e.g. 0), so use the === operator for testing the return value.

Parameters

$hook_namestringrequired: The name of the action hook.
$callbackcallable|string|array|falseoptional: The callback to check for.
This function can be called unconditionally to speculatively check a callback that may or may not exist.
Default:false

bool|int If $callback is omitted, returns boolean for whether the hook has anything registered. When checking a specific function, the priority of that hook is returned, or false if the function is not attached.

More Information

Since this action is an alias of has_filter() , it also uses the global array $wp_filter that stores all of the filters / actions.
