genesis_unregister_layout is not working

[seancwalsh]

Hey,

I am trying to learn how to build a genesis child theme from scratch. I am trying to remove some of the layout options, but it does not work and I cannot figure out why. Here is my code in functions.php:

	function scratch_setup() {

	define('CHILD_THEME_NAME', 'Scratch');
	define('CHILD_THEME_URL', 'http://github.com/cdils/scratch');
	define('CHILD_THEME_VERSION', '1.0.0');

	//Add HTML5 Markup Structure
	add_theme_support( 'html5', array( 'comment-list', 'comment-form', 'search-form', 'gallery', 'caption'  ) );
	
	//Add viewport meta tag for mobile browsers
	add_theme_support( 'genesis-responsive-viewport' );
	
	//Add theme support for accessibility
	add_theme_support( 'genesis-accessibility', array(
		'404-page',
		'drop-down-menu',
		'headings',
		'rems',
		'search-form',
		'skip-links',
		) );	

	//Add theme support for footer widgets
	add_theme_support('genesis-footer-widgets', 3 );


	//unregister layouts that use secondary sidebar
	genesis_unregister_layout( 'content-sidebar-sidebar' );
	genesis_unregister_layout( 'sidebar-sidebar-content' );
	genesis_unregister_layout( 'sidebar-content-sidebar' );

}

Where are you calling the function scratch_setup()? And why are you using that function? There's no need to wrap the code in a function.

Hi Victor,

Thanks for your response. I am calling the function on the line above where I have declared it -

add_action ( 'genesis_setup', 'scratch_setup' );

Good question - I am actually following a tutorial at the moment and that is how it is done there. Whilst troubleshooting, I tried to move this code before and after this function, but it caused the site not to load, but I cannot yet figure out why.

Thanks

P.s - please excuse my ignorance! I have been editing php files in Genesis for a while now, but I have just started trying to write the code.

I have fixed the issue. It was an issue with the code for calling the function as you suggested. I needed to add 15 to the end of the function call. I am not 100% why this works. Something to do with the order in which the function is called?

add_action ( 'genesis_setup', 'scratch_setup', 15 );

Thanks for your help.

3rd parameter for priority

Used to specify the order in which the functions associated with a particular action are executed. Lower numbers correspond with earlier execution, and functions with the same priority are executed in the order in which they were added to the action.
Default value: 10
