Fires before a particular screen is loaded.

Description

do_action( 'load-<pagenow>' ); 

The load-* hook fires in a number of contexts. This hook is for core screens.

The dynamic portion(s) of the hook name refer is a global variable referring to the filename of the current page, such as admin.php,, 'post-new.php' etc. A complete hook for the latter would be 'load-post-new.php'.

// run the action 
do_action( 'load-{$pagenow}' ); 

The following example is for adding a hook callback.

// define the load-<pagenow> callback 
function action_load_pagenow(  ) { 
    // make action magic happen here... 
}; 
         
// add the action 
add_action( "load-{$pagenow}", 'action_load_pagenow', 10, 0 ); 

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

// remove the action 
remove_action( "load-{$pagenow}", 'action_load_pagenow', 10, 0 );
