If you want to remove a WordPress action that was added in the parent theme like this:
function fusion_insert_og_meta() {
...
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'fusion_insert_og_meta', 5 );
It’s VERY important to use the same priority value in the remove action in case a different value from the default (10) was used:
function remove_parent_actions() {
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'fusion_insert_og_meta', 5 );
}
add_action( 'init', 'remove_parent_actions' );
