Private Areas Filters
If you’re not sure what a filter is and want to get started, take a look at the WordPress Codex reference on filters and the core function, add_filter().
Filters can be added to your theme’s or child theme’s functions.php file or to a site-specific plugin. We’ve created a very basic site-specific plugin for this purpose, you can get it for free here.
If you’re a developer and you’re looking to filter something, you probably can. If it’s not listed here please check the codebase first and then submit a support ticket if you need help locating a filter.
