Gutenberg

  • @andrewtaylor-1 reported that a new filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output. try_gutenberg_learn_more_link has been added to filter the “Learn More” link.
