Requires Genesis 2.10.0+ and WordPress 5.0.0+

One-click theme setup #

Run code before and after importing content #

To run code before content is imported during theme setup, use the genesis_onboarding_before_import_content action:

add_action( 'genesis_onboarding_before_import_content', 'theme_prefix_onboarding_before_import_content' );
/**
* Runs code before content is imported during theme setup.
*
* @since 1.0.0
*
* @param array $content The content data from the `onboarding.php` file.
*/

function theme_prefix_onboarding_before_import_content( $content ) {

// Code you would like to run before content is imported.

}

To run code after content is imported during theme setup, use the genesis_onboarding_after_import_content action:

add_action( 'genesis_onboarding_after_import_content', 'theme_prefix_onboarding_after_import_content', 10, 2 );
/**
* Runs code after content is imported during theme setup.
*
* @since 1.0.0
*
* @param array $content The content data from the `onboarding.php` file.
* @param array $imported_post_ids Content keys and created post IDs. Example: `[ "homepage" => 123 ]`.
*/

function theme_prefix_onboarding_after_import_content( $content, $imported_post_ids ) {

// Code you would like to run after content is imported.

}
