admin_init WordPress Action Hook
The admin_init hook is triggered after the user is authenticated and the admin_menu hook is ran. This hook is used to initialize user session data, load language files, and perform other initialization tasks for the admin panel.
do_action( 'admin_init' ) #
Fires as an admin screen or script is being initialized.
Description
Note, this does not just run on user-facing admin screens. It runs on admin-ajax.php and admin-post.php as well.
This is roughly analogous to the more general ‘init’ hook, which fires earlier.
More Information
admin_init is triggered before any other hook when a user accesses the admin area.
This hook doesn’t provide any parameters, so it can only be used to callback a specified function.
