Hook Locator only runs in the WordPress admin when you actively search. There’s no frontend code or background processing that affects your site’s performance. ### What file types does it search? Hook Locator searches only PHP files (.php) since WordPress hooks are PHP-based. It automatically skips other file types for optimal performance. ### Can I search for custom hooks? Absolutely! Hook Locator finds any hook name you specify, including custom hooks created by plugins, themes, or your own code. ### Is it safe to use on production sites? Yes, Hook Locator is completely safe for production use. It only reads files and never modifies any code. All operations are restricted to users with administrator privileges. ### Does it work with multisite? Yes, Hook Locator works perfectly with WordPress multisite installations. Each site can use it independently to analyze their specific plugins and themes. ### Can I export the search results? Currently, you can copy individual code snippets to your clipboard. Future versions may include CSV/JSON export functionality based on user feedback. ### What’s the difference from other hook plugins? Hook Locator focuses on static code analysis rather than runtime hook capture. This makes it more accurate, secure, and performant while providing deeper code insights. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Hook Locator” is open source software.
