I finally welcome the plugin version of the popular [Visual Genesis Hooks and Filters Guide](http://genesistutorials.com/visual-hook-guide) from [Genesis Tutorials](http://genesistutorials.com). Once installed this plugin adds a drop down menu to the admin bar to select between three views (Hook, Filter, and Markup). Select an option or all three to see the hooks in their actual locations on your current theme. Great companion to [Genesis Simple Hooks](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-simple-hooks/). **Genesis Theme Framework required.** ## Screenshots * [[ * Plugin in action on the default Sample Child Theme. * [[ * Hooks in Document Head. ## Installation 1. Upload the entire `genesis-visual-hook-guide` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress ## FAQ Installation Instructions 1. Upload the entire `genesis-visual-hook-guide` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress I have my admin bar disable, can I still view the hooks without it? Sure! The views are triggered by a query string. Simply add ?gvhg_markup=show ?gvhg_hooks =show or ?gvhg_filters=show to the end the url. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5f295dd8d04939f6fe3dac8dc058e25c935ffd8ee4dae521d506eec9eaf313a8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Still useful in 6.0.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-useful-in-6-0-1/)󠁿 [Sebastian “rawsta” Fiele](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rawsta/) August 23, 2022 After all these years, it’s still a very useful plugin for development with Genesis.

It’s really helpful. 🙂 [ Read all 30 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/genesis-visual-hook-guide/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Genesis Visual Hook Guide” is open source software.
