How to remove a widget area from one page only

[camille]

Hi all! I'm building a site using the Infinity Pro theme. I wanted a custom widget area to appear before the footer on all my pages and I used the Genesis Simple Hooks plugin to make it happen. It worked great.

The problem? Now I'd like this widget area to display on every page except one. How do I remove it from one page and one page only?

Thanks so much in advance,
Cami

Use a conditional tag to exclude it like:

if ( ! is_page('slug'))

Or

if ( is_page('slug'))
    return;

Where slug is the page slug you want to exclude.

Here's a full working example you can paste at the end of your child themes functions file:

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'new-widget',
	'name'        => __( 'New Widget', 'domain' ),
	'description' => __( 'Add Content Here', 'domain' ),
) );

add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'your_widget' );
function your_widget() {

if ( is_page('slug') )
    return;

if ( is_active_sidebar('new-widget') ) {

genesis_widget_area( 'new-widget', array(
    'before' => '<div class="new-widget widget-area">',
    'after'	 => '</div>',
		) ); 

  }

}

Swap out slug with your page slug or i.d

Alternately you can use Jetpack's 'Visibility' function. Once installed and activated one of Jetpacks features allows you activate 'Widget Visibility'.

You can determine 'rules' to apply that will either show/hide widgets accordingly.
