Term Definition
Hook
The generic term for the connection points (Actions and Filters) provided by the WordPress Core API. Hooks allow the Core code and plugins to interact with each other. WordPress is event-driven; it broadcasts "events" (hooks) constantly as it loads a page. Themes and plugins "hook into" these events to insert their own code. This architecture allows WordPress to be incredibly extensible without anyone ever needing to edit the protected core files.

What Does "Liquid Purple" mean?

noun | / LIK-wid PUR-pul /

  1. (biochemistry) Also known as visual purple or rhodopsin — a light-sensitive receptor protein found in the rods of the retina. It enables vision in dim light by transforming invisible darkness into visible form. Derived from the Greek rhódon (rose) and ópsis (sight), its name reflects its delicate pink hue and vital role in perception.

  2. (modern usage) Liquid Purple — a digital marketing agency specializing in uncovering unseen opportunities and illuminating brands hidden in the digital dark. Much like its biological namesake, Liquid Purple transforms faint signals into clear visibility — revealing what others overlook and bringing businesses into the light.

Origin: From the scientific term rhodopsin, discovered by Franz Christian Boll in 1876; adopted metaphorically by a marketing firm dedicated to visual clarity in the age of algorithms.
