    Required: Yes
  • (string) $option Option name.

  • (mixed) $default The fallback value to return if the option does not exist. Default is false.

Codex:

Filters the value of an existing option before it is retrieved.

The dynamic portion of the hook name, $option, refers to the option name.

Passing a truthy value to the filter will short-circuit retrieving the option value, returning the passed value instead.
