Overview

Allow specific PHP functions to be called from Bricks {echo:...} dynamic data.

Use the Static variant when you want to allowlist exact function names. Use the Regex variant when you want to allow a naming convention, such as every function that starts with mac_.

Bricks must still have code execution enabled for the relevant user role. Keep the allowlist narrow unless the site intentionally treats a function prefix as trusted.

Variants

Static

Add Macro

Add wp-bricks-echo-function-names macro.

<?php
/**
 * Bricks Echo Function Names
 *
 * https://academy.bricksbuilder.io/article/filter-bricks-code-echo_function_names/
 *
 * @return string[]
 */
add_filter( 'bricks/code/echo_function_names', function (): array {
    return [
        'mac_my_function_1',
        'mac_my_function_2',
    ];
} );

Regex

Add Macro

Add wp-bricks-echo-function-names--regex macro.

<?php
/**

 *
 * https://academy.bricksbuilder.io/article/filter-bricks-code-echo_function_names/
 *
 * @param string $function_name Function name passed by Bricks.
 * @return string[]
 */
add_filter( 'bricks/code/echo_function_names', function ( string $function_name ): array {
    return [
        '@^mac_', // Allow all functions that start with "mac_"
    ];
} );
