Actions

Actions are WordPress hooks that allow you to execute custom code at specific points during WPBakery Page Builder's execution. Unlike filters, actions don't return a value — they allow you to add custom behavior.

add_action('action_name', 'your_custom_function', 10, 2);

function your_custom_function($param1, $param2) {
    // Your custom code here
}
