 3. Take a look at the “FilterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks [https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/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.” link above the tables. There you can enter a term to search for.

 6. Brilliant. I suppose it could be called something better than filterFilter Filters
    are one of the two types of Hooks [https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/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. or be otherwise made more obvious. But it’s great that at least there is
    an option…pretty good one at that.
