benecaster_before_account
Fires before the benecaster_account shortcode wrapper renders. This is the earliest hook point inside the account shortcode — it fires after authentication verification and before any output is generated, so the subscriber is confirmed logged-in when your callback runs.
This hook fires only when a logged-in subscriber is viewing their own account page. Output echoed here appears above all built-in account sections.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
$user_id |
int |
— | WordPress user ID of the logged-in subscriber |
Examples

add_action( 'benecaster_before_account', function( int $user_id ): void {
// Queue an analytics event without echoing anything
my_analytics_client()->track( 'account_page_viewed', [
'user_id' => $user_id,
] );
} );Inject custom banner above account
add_action( 'benecaster_before_account', function( int $user_id ): void {
if ( get_user_meta( $user_id, 'my_addon_show_banner', true ) ) {
echo '<div class="my-addon-banner">Special offer for you!</div>';
}
} );Affects
