Hooks

[hillyut]

Hi, I am trying to suppress a simple hook on a few of my lesson pages, like this one:
http://www.pullingcurls.com/course/online-prenatal-class-couples (they use LIfterLMS)
I don't like having my header "ads" up there as they are paid classes.
I did get rid of the header and sidebar with this code:
.single-course .site-container .nav-primary,
.single-course .site-container .nav-secondary,
.single-course .site-container .site-header,
.single-lesson .site-container .nav-primary,
.single-lesson .site-container .nav-secondary,
.single-lesson .site-container .site-header {
display: none;
}

On the hook I was trying to use this (using the conditional tags that Lifter gave me):

<?php
if (!is_lesson() ) || !is_course() || !is_archive() )
{ ?>

//insert code for ad here
<?php }
?>

But when I execute php on that simple hook it throws and error and the rest of my site won't load.
My host said that something is wrong with that coding.

Is there ANY way to do it? Is there a way to add one of the hooks to that top code that says display none?

Thanks!
Hilary

I suggest you use PHP code in your functions file to load the advert and include conditional tags with the NOT operator to exclude pages.

add_action('genesis_before_loop', 'your_function');
function your_function() {
if ( !is_lesson() ) || !is_course() || !is_archive() ) {
echo '<div class="advert"> Add Your Text or HTML Here</div>';
    }
}

You can swap out genesis_before_loop with any hook

Brad, thank you so much! I'm going to try this right after work!

Ok, I tried it -- but it throws this error: [26-Dec-2016 13:49:09 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '||' (T_BOOLEAN_OR) in /home/nginx/domains/pullingcurls.com/public/wp-content/themes/lifestyle-pro/functions.php on line 124

Any chance I'm putting it in the wrong spot? I'm always nervous in the functions file....

Try this:

add_action('genesis_before_loop', 'your_function');
function your_function() {
if ( ! is_lesson() || ! is_course() || ! is_archive() ) {
echo '<div class="advert">Add Your Text or HTML Here</div>';
    }
}

Ok, that didn't throw an error. BUT, it also didn't work.
Is there a way to add it to the css file like above?

.single-course .site-container .nav-primary,
.single-course .site-container .nav-secondary,
.single-course .site-container .site-header,
.single-lesson .site-container .nav-primary,
.single-lesson .site-container .nav-secondary,
.single-lesson .site-container .site-header {
display: none;
}

The code works however it uses the conditionals you supplied ( which come from Lifter ) so you will need to check them. Its example code you can modify.

Here's the WordPress conditionals you can swap out in the code.

Or

You can use CSS to hide the ads using the body classes which you can inspect in the HTML source code.
