Function Name: remove_all_actions

WordPress offers a variety of hooks to allow developers to modify the behavior of the core or their own plugins. However, sometimes it’s necessary to remove all the hooks attached to a certain action, and that’s when the remove_all_actions function comes in handy.

The remove_all_actions function allows developers to remove all the functions (callbacks) attached to a certain action hook. This can be useful when you need to reset the behavior of a specific hook, or when you want to prevent any other code from executing when a certain action is triggered.

Here’s the syntax for the remove_all_actions function:

remove_all_actions( string $tag, int $priority = false )

The first parameter, $tag, specifies the name of the action hook you want to remove all actions from. The second parameter, $priority, is optional and determines which priority level to remove the actions from. If it’s not specified, all actions with any priority will be removed.

Here’s an example usage of the remove_all_actions function:

remove_all_actions( 'wp_footer' );

This code would remove all the functions attached to the wp_footer action hook, effectively disabling any code that was supposed to be executed when the footer is rendered.
