Question

I\'m using the Thematic framework for a child theme. It has a number of hooks, but I\'m looking at thematic_header() in particular. The thematic_header() hook adds the follo

Answer 1

not to self-promote but I have done some work on this to provide a non-coding solution through a WordPress plugin called Prioritize Hooks. My plugin lets you set the priorities of various registered hooks through a UI and does the overriding in runtime so the code isn't modified.

Answer 2

From WordPress

if a hook was registered using a priority other than the default of 10, then you must also specify the priority in the call to remove_action().

So I think you can first remove using following

remove_action('thematic_header', 'thematic_brandingopen', 1);
remove_action('thematic_header', 'thematic_access', 9);

and the add again using different priority

add_action('thematic_header', 'thematic_access', 1);
add_action('thematic_header', 'thematic_brandingopen', 2);

Answer 3

Just in case this helps someone, the variable actions are stored in is

global $wp_filter;
var_dump( $wp_filter[$hook_name] );

Which is an array of arrays with the keys being the priority when the action was added.
