Genesis Visual Hook Guide

Description

Once a tool for myself the Genesis Visual Hook guide has slowly evolved into what it is today. I finally welcome the plugin version of the popular Visual Genesis Hooks and Filters Guide from Genesis Tutorials.

Once installed this plugin adds a drop down menu to the admin bar to select between three views (Hook, Filter, and Markup). Select an option or all three to see the hooks in their actual locations on your current theme.

Great companion to Genesis Simple Hooks.

Genesis Theme Framework required.

Installation

Upload the entire genesis-visual-hook-guide folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

Installation Instructions

Upload the entire genesis-visual-hook-guide folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

I have my admin bar disable, can I still view the hooks without it?

Sure! The views are triggered by a query string. Simply add ?gvhg_markup=show ?gvhg_hooks=show or ?gvhg_filters=show to the end the url.

Still useful in 6.0.1

By Sebastian "rawsta" Fiele (rawsta) on August 23, 2022

After all these years, it's still a very useful plugin for development with Genesis. Does one thing and does it flawless in current 6.0.1.

It does not work

By rjnavas on July 13, 2018

Used to be great for editing and styling your web. But it does not work with the last version of WordPress.

Awesome and useful

Awesome and so useful! Works as advertised.

This Is Standard for Me Now

By Eric Dye (ericdye) on September 3, 2016

I've used this for a long time when working with Genesis themes.

But nothhing beats seeing it outlined in the theme you are working on!

This is now a standard install for all my development setups whenever I'm using Genesis. It's really helpful. 🙂

Great Plugin!

Great Plugin!

Useful and Simple

By CYBERsprout on September 3, 2016

This is a great tool for finding the placement of the action or filter hooks in the Genesis framework. Definitely a time save and it is super simple to use.

Gets the job done!

No more hunting around the interweb. No more trial and error to see if you got the right hook or filter or css class for styling.
This is a simple to use and effective plugin and it gets the job done.

very neat!
