Very helpful, this much easier to understand. Like Ryan I was a bit lost on the difference between do and add action. Thanks.

Nicely explained on the difference between do_action() and add_action().

Very informative. Thanks

Hi Lisa,

Question about hooks and arguments.

the hook wp_login hook only accepts the argument $credentials['user_login']

do_action(‘wp_login’, $credentials['user_login']);

How does one get the hook to allow additional arguments? I need to track an additional, user supplied field at login.

I can hack the wordpress file directly, but that will cause upgrade problems.

Thanks,
Chris
