by

The default_password_nag_handler() WordPress PHP function is a deprecated function used for handling password nag notifications.

Usage

More information

See WordPress Developer Resources: default_password_nag_handler
This function was deprecated in WordPress and its use is highly discouraged. There’s no information about its implementation version. It’s always a good practice to use updated and supported functions.

Examples

Basic Usage of the function

default_password_nag_handler();

This code would have triggered the password nag handler.

Using the function with the optional parameter

default_password_nag_handler(true);

This code would have handled any errors that occurred during the password nag process.

Using the function inside a conditional statement

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    default_password_nag_handler();
}

In this example, the function would have been called only if the user is logged in.

Using the function inside a hook

add_action('login_head', 'default_password_nag_handler');

This would have added the password nag handler to the ‘login_head’ hook.

Using the function inside a custom function

function my_custom_function() {
    default_password_nag_handler();
}
add_action('login_head', 'my_custom_function');

In this example, a custom function is created that calls the default_password_nag_handler() function. This custom function is then added to the ‘login_head’ hook.

Please note that all the examples are for reference only. As default_password_nag_handler() is a deprecated function, its usage is not recommended in a live WordPress site.
