check_admin_referer WordPress Action Hook
The check_admin_referer hook is used to verify that a user has permission to perform an action in the WordPress admin. This is typically used to prevent unauthorized access to admin pages or to perform actions that require elevated privileges.
do_action( 'check_admin_referer', string $action , false|int $result ) #
Fires once the admin request has been validated or not.
Parameters
- $action
(string)The nonce action.
- $result
(false|int)False if the nonce is invalid, 1 if the nonce is valid and generated between 0-12 hours ago, 2 if the nonce is valid and generated between 12-24 hours ago.
More Information
The filter hook is applied in the default check_admin_referrer() function after the nonce has been checked for security purposes; this allows a plugin to force WordPress to die for extra security reasons. Note that check_admin_referrer is also a “pluggable” function, meaning that plugins can override it.
