Altitude Pro, remove Header Menu from all but Front Page

[jdcohan]

I'm using Altitude Pro. I have placed the "Scroll to Front Page Sections" custom links in the "Header Menu" (primary nav), as per the demo. (I'm using the "Before Header" menu location for a menu that links to static pages.)

I want to suppress the "Header Menu" location on all pages EXCEPT the front page. (In fact, FWIW, it seems to me this should be the default behavior; but maybe that's just me...)

I was able to accomplish this via CSS, but I'm looking for a better solution - one that actually removes the Header Menu from all but the front page, using code, rather than hiding it using CSS. I've tried a few StudioPress snippets, but I'm apparently not doing it right.

BTW, my preference is to put my code in a "functions.php" file in the mu-plugins directory. This could be significant with respect to priority values in add/remove_action calls.

Would appreciate any help on this.

So you are not using the primary menu on the home page, but the before header menu (the secondary nav) and you want to remove the this primary nav on the front-page.php only?

If you look in functions.php you'll see where it was added and the priority, lines 51-53 in a default install.

Then in front-page.php you can add this outside of all other functions.

remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_nav', 12 );

you can add this code inside a plugin as you mentioned:

function prefix_remove_primary_nav_frontpage() {

        if ( ! is_front_page() ) return; // exit early if not front page
        remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_nav', 12 );

}
add_action( 'genesis_before', 'prefix_remove_primary_nav_frontpage' );

Thank you, @carasmo.

What I want to do is remove the nav element from all pages EXCEPT the home page.

Your code confirmed that what I had tried was ALMOST correct. (Almost, because I didn't include parens in is_front_page.)

Here's what I had - very similar to yours -which now works:

add_action( 'genesis_header', 'nwb_remove_home_menu', 12);
function nwb_remove_home_menu() {
	if ( is_front_page() ) { 
		return;
	}
	remove_action('genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav');
}
