Developer Hooks

AMP WP exposes WordPress-standard actions and filters throughout its template system, URL generator, structured data engine, and admin panel. All hooks listed here are safe to use in a child theme’s functions.php or in a standalone plugin. No plugin file edits are needed.

Template Actions

These actions fire inside AMP WP’s own template system. They do not use wp_head or wp_footer . Output must be valid AMP markup.

amp_wp_template_head Fires inside the AMP <head> element. Use for custom meta tags or other head markup. AMP WP reserves priority 0 for component scripts.

amp_wp_template_head_deferred Fires in <head> after the AMP boilerplate styles have been written. Required injection point for <amp-auto-ads> and any snippet that must follow the boilerplate. AMP WP’s own styles and scripts output here.

amp_wp_template_body_start Fires immediately after the opening <body> tag.

amp_wp_body_beginning Fires at the start of visible body content, before the site header renders.

amp_wp_post_content_below Fires directly below the post content on single post pages.

amp_wp_template_footer Fires before the closing </body> tag. Priority 999 is reserved for AMP WP’s output sanitizer.

amp_wp_template_enqueue_scripts Use to register additional AMP component scripts. Call amp_wp_enqueue_script( $handle, $src ) inside your callback.

amp_wp_after_comment_list Fires after the comment list on single post pages.

amp_wp_notifications_bar Fires inside the notification/notice bar template slot.

amp_wp_gdpr_compliance Fires inside the GDPR banner template slot.

Analytics Actions

These actions fire in the AMP page footer. Each corresponds to one analytics provider already supported by AMP WP. Hook into any of them to append a custom <amp-analytics> block for a provider not yet built in, or to modify the existing output before it renders.

• amp_wp_analytics_ga (Google Analytics)
• amp_wp_analytics_fbp (Facebook Pixel)
• amp_wp_analytics_sa (Simple Analytics)
• amp_wp_analytics_qc (Quantcast)
• amp_wp_analytics_acm (Adobe Campaign Manager)
• amp_wp_analytics_cb (Chartbeat)
• amp_wp_analytics_comscore (comScore)
• amp_wp_analytics_yandex_metrica (Yandex Metrica)
• amp_wp_analytics_afs (AFS Analytics)
• amp_wp_analytics_adobe (Adobe Analytics)

AMP Version Control Filters

amp_wp_amp_version_exists Control whether an AMP version is served for the current request. Return false to disable AMP for that page. Parameter: (bool) $exists

add_filter( 'amp_wp_amp_version_exists', '__return_false' );

amp_wp_template_auto_redirect Enable automatic redirection of all visitors from the non-AMP URL to the AMP URL. Default false . Parameter: (bool) $redirect

amp_wp_filter_config_list Extend the list of post types, taxonomies, and conditions where AMP is disabled site-wide. Parameter: (array) $filters

URL and Permalink Filters

amp_wp_pre_get_permalink Short-circuit AMP permalink generation. Return any non-false value to bypass the core URL builder. Parameters: (mixed) $pre (default false), (int) $post_id

amp_wp_get_permalink Filter the final AMP URL after it has been built. Parameters: (string) $amp_url , (int) $post_id

amp_wp_url_format_filter Change the AMP URL format. Accepted values: start-point (prefix, e.g. /amp/slug ) or end-point (suffix, e.g. /slug/amp ). Parameter: (string) $format

amp_wp_url_excluded Add URL paths that must never serve an AMP version. Parameter: (array) $excluded_urls

amp_wp_transformer_exclude_subdir Add path segments that the AMP URL transformer should skip when rewriting internal links. Used internally by AMP WP for WPML and Polylang language prefixes. Parameter: (array) $exclude_dirs

Structured Data Filters (JSON-LD)

All JSON-LD filters are active only when “Enable Structured Data on Site” is on in AMP WP Settings. The three schema-data filters carry a trailing underscore. This is generated internally via sprintf( 'amp_wp_json_ld_%s_', $type ) and the underscore must be part of the hook name you register.

amp_wp_json_ld_config Filters the generator configuration before any schema is built.

Parameter: (array) $config with keys: * active (bool): set false to disable the entire JSON-LD generator for the current request. * logo (string): Organization logo URL. When non-empty, an Organization block is emitted on every page and all Article-type schemas reference it by @id . * posts_type (string): Fallback schema type when schema_type_for_post is empty. Default BlogPosting . * media_field_id (string): Post meta key for audio/video URL in format posts. Default _featured_embed_code .

AMP WP core attaches at priority 15 to inject the branding logo. Use priority 20 or higher to override it.

add_filter( 'amp_wp_json_ld_config', function( $config ) { ... }, 20 );

amp_wp_json_ld_organization_ Filters the Organization schema array before output. Fires only when a logo is configured. Return false or an empty array to suppress the block. Parameter: (array) $data

add_filter( 'amp_wp_json_ld_organization_', function( $data ) { ... } );

amp_wp_json_ld_website_ Filters the WebSite schema array before output. Fires only on the homepage and front page. Parameter: (array) $data

add_filter( 'amp_wp_json_ld_website_', function( $data ) { ... } );

amp_wp_json_ld_single_ Filters the singular-content schema array before output. Fires on all singular pages: standard posts (Article, NewsArticle, BlogPosting), static pages (WebPage), WooCommerce products (Product), post format overrides (AudioObject, VideoObject, Ima
