Genesis Simple Hook Guide

Find Genesis action hooks quick and easily by seeing their actual locations inside your theme.

Description

This is a simplified version of Genesis Visual Hook Guide plugin by Christopher Cochran with the following changes:

• Hooks are dynamically generated vs being hardcoded
• Clicking anywhere on a hook selects the hook name ready to be easily copied
• Does not show filters and markup

Once installed, this plugin adds a dropdown menu to the admin bar to see the available hooks on the page being viewed in the front end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Since the site header is fixed in Genesis Sample 2.6.0, when hooks are shown, the header is hanging in the middle of the page.

You have 2 options.

a) Add top: 0 to .site-header in CSS. This will cover some hooks above the header.

b) In the 960px min-width media query, comment out the code that makes the site header fixed temporarily.

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

Sure! The views are triggered by a query string. Simply add ?gshg_hooks=show to the end of the URL.
