Override

To override this PHP function, use this hook in your child theme or plugin ("my_custom" can be changed):

PHP

add_filter('pre_track_notable_bots', 'my_custom_track_notable_bots'); 
function my_custom_track_notable_bots(){ 
    //Write your own code here

    return true; //Return true to prevent the original function from running afterwords
}

PHP

 add_filter('pre_track_notable_bots', '__return_false');
