Action hooks

This is a full reference of the action hooks Highend's own theme code fires: everything you can hook into with add_action() from a child theme's functions.php. It doesn't include the many standard hooks inside the theme's copied woocommerce/ and bbpress/ override templates (woocommerce_before_cart, bbp_template_before_single_topic, and so on). Those are WooCommerce's and bbPress's own documented hooks, unchanged from their defaults, so refer to WooCommerce's own hook docs for those.

For the counterpart list of apply_filters() calls, see Filter hooks.

How to read this pageCopy Anchor Link

Each row gives the hook name, the file where it fires, the arguments passed to your callback, and a one-line use case. Where a "region" hook wraps a larger block, like highend_header, Highend itself listens on that same hook to render the default markup, so removing the listener with remove_action() and adding your own replaces that region entirely; adding your own callback at a later priority runs alongside it.

// Runs on the same hook Highend uses for the page title and featured section.
// Use a later priority to run after them.
add_action( 'highend_after_header', 'highend_child_announcement_bar', 30 );

function highend_child_announcement_bar() {
	echo '<div class="announcement-bar">Free shipping this week</div>';
}

Add a callout above the post content on every single post, without touching single.php:

add_action( 'highend_before_single_content', 'highend_child_post_notice' );

function highend_child_post_notice() {

	if ( ! is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
		return;
	}

	echo '<div class="hb-notice">This article was last reviewed in 2026.</div>';
}

Enqueue a child theme script only after Highend's own assets are queued:

add_action( 'highend_enqueue_scripts', 'highend_child_scripts' );

function highend_child_scripts() {

	wp_enqueue_script(
		'highend-child-scripts',
		get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/assets/script.js',
		array( 'jquery' ),
		wp_get_theme()->get( 'Version' ),
		true
	);
}

Swap out the Contact page template's form for a Contact Form 7 shortcode:

remove_action( 'highend_contact_page_form', 'highend_contact_page_template_form' ); // Highend's own callback, in functions/template-parts.php
add_action( 'highend_contact_page_form', 'highend_child_contact_form' );

function highend_child_contact_form() {
	echo do_shortcode( '[contact-form-7 id="123" title="Contact form"]' );
}
