Trigger gform_loaded from within a theme

Hi, might be a real dumb question… but does the gform_loaded hook NOT work from within a theme / child theme?

Code works from within a plugin. Same code in the child theme produces nothing.

:frowning:

Thanks!

You will need to add it into the functions.php of the theme you are working from.

Hi Mr Roboto, thanks for your response.

Unfortunately when I add the same code from the plugin to the child-theme/functions.php file, it doesn’t work. Is it supposed to work from within a theme?

Thanks again.

Can you show your code / file structure?

Hi Mr Roboto,

I’m just using a very simple test:

plugin/plugin.php

function my_plugin_function()
{
    echo "This is from the plugin";
    //Do something here
}
add_action('gform_loaded', 'my_plugin_function', 10, 0);

child-theme/functions.php

function my_theme_function()
{
    echo "This is from the theme";
    //Do something here
}
add_action('gform_loaded', 'my_theme_function', 10, 0);

The plugin echoes, the theme does not.

Silly question, but have you correctly loaded the child theme?

I believe so. Its a simple / custom child-theme of the Parent Beaver Builder theme that we have been using for the past 2 years.

Does including my code into your child-theme/functions.php file work for you?

Thanks!

Try adding this filter in mu-plugins. It might execute earlier than theme loading, even. I remember looking at it some while ago from the same perspective.
