1 year ago hi @Llanilek sorry for the late response,
It's a little bit difficult to give you a super accurate answer because you haven't supplied enough details for me to know which hook you are even referring to. I'm not even sure what you mean by "an addon's set_hooks"... do you mean the set_hooks() method on a child class of EED_Module or some other class?
Anyways, the best i can offer at the moment is some generic details pertaining to filters:
-
as I'm sure you know, you can only remove a filter after it has been registered and before it gets applied, so you need to know when the original filter was registered and when it is applied. Depending on the hook in question, it could be beneficial to remove the hook immediately after it was added or wait until the very last moment and remove it before it is applied.
-
if more than one callback is hooked into the same filter and you want to remove all of them, you can use
remove_all_filters(), but just like above when removing a single filter, you need to call that after all hooks have been registered and before they get applied. -
dependening on whether the
set_hooks()method you are referring to is from a module or shortcode, will change when it is added. Module hooks are set during theAHEE__EE_System__core_loaded_and_readyhookpoint, and shortcodes are set duringAHEE__EE_System__set_hooks_for_shortcodes_modules_and_addons. Again, I don't know the specifics so I can't guarantee this will be correct, but you could try using theAHEE__EE_System__initializehookpoint, which comes after both of the above hookpoints, for removing the undesired hook.
Hope that helps

Deregistering filters with remove_filter doesn't always work when called in an addon's set_hooks. If another addon is called after your addon that you're trying to deregister, the other addon just reregisters their hook.
Is there a better place to call a deregister after all addons have set their hooks/admin hooks?
