As long as your add action code was in the functions.php file and not the include. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/putting-actionfilter-hooks-in-a-different-file-other-than-functionsphp#post-67667 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 03:20:44 +0000 run23 67667@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This is a PHP question rather than WP or GF...</p> <p>Does anyone know how to put custom action/filter hooks in a different file other than functions.php?</p> <p>I tried to put a hook function in different file (my_hooks.php), then simply include that file in functions.php, but I'm getting an undefined function error. My whole purpose in doing this is to reduce the amount of custom code I put in functions.php.</p> <p>Ideally, I would like to only register the hooks in functions.php, but all the useful code live elsewhere. </p>
