What if you could add templates, actions, and filters depending on the context?

<p>Sectors is a first of its kind plugin for WordPress. Create theme templates for any context on your site. Make sure select Actions or Filters are only added when certain conditions are met.</p>
<h4>Contexts</h4>
<p>When you add a new sector to your site, you select the content it covers. This could be:</p>
<ul>
<li>All posts in a select category</li>
<li>Pages by an author</li>
<li>Custom Post Types with a Custom Taxonomy</li>
<li>…</li>
<li>Any combination of above</li>
</ul>
<p>Sectors also comes with built in support for BuddyPress, WPML, Polylang, and more.</p>
<h4>Templates</h4>
<p>Sectors will look in your theme folder for the following templates:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/sectors/<sector-name>.php</code></li>
<li><code>/sector-<sector-name>.php</code></li>
</ul>
<p>If found, it will be automatically loaded for the context.</p>
<h4>API</h4>
<p><strong>Template Tags</strong></p>
<p>Check if a query is part of a given or any sector:</p>
<pre><code>is_sector(string $sector):boolean
</code></pre>
<p>Get all sectors for current context:</p>
<pre><code>get_current_sectors():array
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Hooks</strong></p>
<p>Sectors extends all WordPress Actions and Filters by adding a scope. This means you can add a callback to an action and make sure it’s only executed in a given context:</p>
<pre><code>add_sector_action(string $sector, string $tag, callable $function, int $priority = 10, int $accepted_args = 1 )

add_sector_filter(string $sector, string $tag, callable $function, int $priority = 10, int $accepted_args = 1 )
</code></pre>
