Conditionally Remove Nav Menu on Pages

[Justin Romack]

Hi there,

I'm building a site locally using the Generate theme as a base, and I'm hitting a snag with something I'm trying to do.

I'm launching the site in April, but offering an opt-in and free download until then. I know folks will try to poke around (plus, I'm developing content behind the scenes), so I'm trying to remove the navigation menu from a few pages.

I get a blank screen any time I use this code. What am I doing wrong here?

<?php

if(is_page(array(2,13,15,17,19,21,23) {)
remove_action('genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav');
}

?>

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! 🙂

Hi,
Try this. I just did adjustments at the end of the line with the array. I didn't test it, though.

if(is_page(array(2,13,15,17,19,21,23) ) ) {
remove_action(‘genesis_after_header’, ‘genesis_do_nav’);
}

Cheers, Dave

Okay, so I'm a dork. (And being totally blind is actually a semi-valid excuse here).

Didn't notice I had accidentally put a parenthesis at the end of that line...though I hadn't in other attempts.

So, I cleaned up the code (with your suggestions), and I don't get a blank screen—but I also don't get the result I'm wanting.

Am I missing something? This should remove the primary navigation menu on the pages specified in the array, correct?

Thanks again!

The syntax now seems OK. And that function will take an array. It generally should work fine.

It could be the context - that won't work if you stick it in the loop, for instance, such as in a template file. Or if that code comes before executed code that deals with menus, then it could be nullified. That's the best I can offer.

Good luck, D

Wrap the code in a function, and hook that function in to the genesis_before action hook. If you've got it just in the child theme plugin files, then you might be removing before Genesis has had a chance to add it in the first place.
