vc_before_init

Fires at the very beginning of WPBakery Page Builder initialization. This hook runs as the first action inside the Vc_Manager::init() method, before the editor mode is set, components are loaded, or shortcodes are mapped. Use this hook for early setup tasks that need to run before any WPBakery component is initialized.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Usage

add_action( 'vc_before_init', 'wpb_early_setup' );

function wpb_early_setup() {
    // Run logic before WPBakery initializes
    // e.g., conditionally disable features before mode is set
    if ( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX ) {
        // Prepare for AJAX-specific initialization
    }
}
