eleven40 child theme. Hide the "Title" Widget.

[jasonfox]

Hello,

I am using the "Title" widget as an opt in on the home page.  And would like to hide it on all other pages.  I have simple hooks installed and tried multiple variations of remove_action but cant quite get it.

Can anyone share the code snippet with me and I think is the before_content hook?

You can do this several ways:

1. Install the Widget Logic plugin and add a conditional tag
2. Add a conditional tag to the function which displays the widget in the hook location
3. Use CSS code to hide the display of the widget

The first 2 solutions are the best and the plugin is the easiest option.

Examples:

!is_page

or

!is_page_template

Thanks Brad,  the plugin did the trick.

You said:

Could you please specify the exact code for functions.php I would use to display the Page Title widget (in the eleven40 child theme) only on the front page of a site (the homepage)?

Thanks for your help!

I found this code snippet in the eleven40 functions.php. I know this is the snippet I need to work with, but I just need to know exactly what I need to add to this code to make the page title widget only appear on the front page of the site (which is where the blog posts display).

/** Add the page title section */
add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'eleven40_page_title' );
function eleven40_page_title() {
genesis_widget_area( 'page-title', array(
'before' => '',
) );
}

is_home or is_front_page

Here's all the code where you'll find what you need https://gist.github.com/braddalton

Work out the hook location and change the hook if needed.

I'm sorry for the trouble @braddalton, but would you be so kind as to actually spell out for me where the is_home or is_front_page should go in this snippet:

/** Add the page title section */
add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'eleven40_page_title' );
function eleven40_page_title() {
genesis_widget_area( 'page-title', array(
'before' => '',
) );
}

Okay, after fooling around with all kinds of different variations in the code, I got this one to work. Just wanted to check back and see if this is the "best" way to do it, and if the code is "clean"... Thanks!

/** Add the page title section */
add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'eleven40_page_title' );
function eleven40_page_title() {
if ( is_home() && is_active_sidebar( 'page-title' ) )
genesis_widget_area( 'page-title', array(
'before' => '',
) );
}

No trouble and always happy to help Chris.

I would have simply used the existing code for this hook location with the conditional tag for homepage.

I guess you learn't a bit about custom functions, conditionals and genesis hooks which is good.

I cannot see the code for registering the widget however it works so must be o.k.
