So is it possible to do something like this with add_action?
class class{}
$my_class = new class;
add_action('init', 'my_class');

Have you looked at the example on the add_action codex page?Milo– Milo2012-12-30 16:54:13 +00:00Commented Dec 30, 2012 at 16:54

You can do this:
class testclass {
function test() {
echo 'howdy';
}
}
add_action('wp_head',array('testclass','test'));
Or this:
$t = new testclass();
add_action('wp_head',array($t,'test'));
It doesn't work like...
$t = new testclass();
add_action('wp_head','t');
// or this either, for good measure
$t = new testclass();
add_action('wp_head',array('t'));
.. but I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish by using that pattern. You've already instantiated the class so the constructor, if present, has already ran. Without a callback method, I don't know what you expect to happen.

2The first method doesn’t pass
E_STRICT, and the last needs a good explanation. :)2012-12-30 20:50:33 +00:00Commented Dec 30, 2012 at 20:50
class MyPluginClass {
public function __construct() {
add_action( 'save_post', array( $this, 'myplugin_save_posts' ) );
}
public function myplugin_save_posts() {
// do stuff here...
}
}
$mypluginclass = new MyPluginClass();
In the (accepted) answer the first example is incorrect:
class testclass() {
function test() {
echo 'howdy';
}
}
add_action( 'wp_head', array( 'testclass', 'test' ) );
It is incorrect because method test is not static.
The correct use for the static call in the action would be:
class testclass() {
function static test() {
echo 'howdy';
}
}
add_action( 'wp_head', array( 'testclass', 'test' ) );
you could also write it then as:
add_action( 'wp_head', 'testclass::test' );

Could you edit your answer and show the correct use of the example? As it stands you're copy and pasting the code somebody else has provided where you could be writing an answer that shows proper use. Otherwise, I can clean this up and move it to the comment section.2018-01-16 21:42:56 +00:00Commented Jan 16, 2018 at 21:42
