Help with function to remove side bar in CPT

[smallfish]

Hi I'd like to show a specific sidebar in a genesis child theme using genesis simple sidebars for a custom post type. I'm using the function below and while it does add the additional sidebar im unable to get it to remove the regular primary side bar- so both appear. Could someone perhaps see where I've gone wrong.

Thanks

// Swap sidebars on Advisors CPT pages
add_action('get_header','adv_change_genesis_sidebar');
function adv_change_genesis_sidebar() {
if ( is_singular('advisor')) {
remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'ss_do_sidebar' );
remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar_alt', 'ss_do_sidebar_alt' );
remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' );
remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar_alt', 'genesis_do_sidebar_alt' );
add_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'adv_do_cpt_sidebar' );
}
}

// Output new sidebar with the id 'advisors'
function adv_do_cpt_sidebar() {
genesis_widget_area( 'advisors' );
}

How are you generating the CPT? Code or plugin?

You could try adding support for genesis simple sidebars to your CPT.

Brad thanks, I'm generating with Toolset. Adding the simple sidebars support gives me the selection meta box - but adding the new sidebar is not the issue. That part worked fine. It's removing the default side bar that im unable to accomplish.

Any other ideas? Any one?

Thanks again

Sorry, don't use Toolset but i did test this code and it works

remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' );

Yes that remove-action is in that function- even if i strip out the others and just remove 'genesis_do_sidebar" the primary sidebar still appears along with the one Ive added.

I may give up and hide via css

Thanks for your input though

A 3rd parameter of 10 works but not when SS is active.

remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar', 10 );

I think this relates to the hooks used in SS.
