how to exclude content in certain pages

[robortsmith]

Hi,

I have a site http://www.southnewington.com that has a metaslider at the top. I added this by putting it in simple hooks in:
genesis_before_content Hook

Now I dont want this slider to appear in couple of pages.

I can stop it appearing in one by changing the genesis_before_content Hook to:

<?php
if(!is_page(doom)) { ?>
<div class="amsliderarea">[metaslider id=1311]</div>
<?php }

which works. However I have several pages under this main page that I dont want this slider to appear in.

Whats the easiest way of doing this? Should I have added the slider in the first place in a custom template rather than in a hook? stupid question can pages have categories if so can I change that code to exclude categories of pages rather than a single page? whats the easiest way?

Any help appreciated thanks!

( theme is modifies sample one )

If you only want to exclude a few pages, you can use an array in your function:

!is_page( array( 42, 'about-me', 'Contact' ) )

thats prob easiest great thanks!

for future reference re workflow would you recommend adding a slider in the hooks or as a template - is there a difference?

i so cant get this to work. ive tried an array, tried excluding templates etc am going round in circles.

Christoph or anyone can you provide the exact php to go in simple hooks? I want to exclude the page doom and about and contact.

Thanks 🙁

Can you post the code you are using?
You have to use the exact slugs or the page-id´s for the pages you want to exclude.
Also, double-check that the box "execute php on this hook?" is selected.

Thanks - managed to get it to work by excluding the templates using:

<?php if ( !(is_page_template( '_doom2.php' ) || is_page_template( 'doom.php' ) )) { ?>

<div class="amsliderarea">[metaslider id=1586]</div>
<?php } ?>

but would be nice to know why the array didnt work and what i was doing wrong 🙁

pages were doom, how-did-we-get-here, introduction-to-doom,project-timeline

thanks
