wp_uninitialize_site( int|WP_Site $site_id ): true|WP_Error

Description

Compatibility

Present in every tracked release (6.7.7 to 7.1.0), and compiles on PHP 7.4 through 8.6-dev.

Parameters

$site_idint|WP_Site

Site ID or object.

Return value

true|WP_Error

True on success, or error object on failure.

Performance profile

How much work a call to wp_uninitialize_site() does, and what it touches: the algorithmic scaling, the Zend instruction count per call across PHP versions, the hooks it hands control to, and the core code that calls it. Measured from the compiled opcodes, not a stopwatch, so every number is identical on any machine running the same PHP version, and every function in core is ranked by cost.

Cost class

Heavy

Reaches the database via get_users().

Scaling

Scales with input

The body loops, so the work grows with what you pass in.

Instructions

12–90

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 205.

Plugin surface

2 hooks

Third-party callbacks on 'wpmu_drop_tables', 'wpmu_delete_blog_upload_dir' run inside this call, and their cost is not bounded by anything here.

Called by

0

Nothing in core calls this; the cost is only what you spend yourself.

What it touches

• querycontent queryget_users()called directly
• hookthird-party callbacksapply_filters()called directly
• cacheobject cachewp_cache_switch_to_blog()one call below wp_uninitialize_site()

Further down the call graph this can also reach option, serialize and transient. Those are the worst case, several calls deep and usually down an error path, not what a normal call pays.

What one call costs · 7 distinct outcomes

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost wp_uninitialize_site() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.

Hooks and filters fired · 2

2 hooks fire while wp_uninitialize_site() runs, in this order:

1. 1
   apply_filters( wpmu_drop_tables )filterline 832 (+48 into the body)

   Filters the tables to drop when the site is deleted.

2. 2
   apply_filters( wpmu_delete_blog_upload_dir )filterline 846 (+62 into the body)

   Filters the upload base directory to delete when the site is deleted.

Generated from the wordpress-develop 7.1.0 tag, from src/wp-includes/ms-site.php, and regenerated for each WordPress release so it tracks the code rather than a snapshot of it.
