About function.php

In video tutorial https://teamtreehouse.com/library/customizing-the-wordpress-admin-area/admin-color-schemes/customizing-admin-color-schemes-from-scratch

Zac mentions that we call function wpt_admin_color_schemes by using admin_init hook,

If you could assist, what is admin_init hook and what its role?

In a video tutorial at from 6min after was mentioned " So what this says is, is that as soon as the admin area is initialized, as soon as someone is logged in, calling it pages in the admin area. Make sure that you run the C, that, or make sure that we run this function to make this color scheme available"

dont understand what he is saying,

Also mentioned that can be aplied for certain user a certain administration color style.

If possible can mention the code,

Thank You,

Hey Stavros,

Have you done the course that explains WordPress' hook architecture? Once you understand actions & filters, it will make sense.

The admin_init action is basically the hook that runs when the WP Admin area is initialised, when things start being prepared to render the admin area. It's one of the earliest hooks in the sequence.
