Remove Sidebars Via Action Hook

[gerardoritchey]

I'm trying to figure out how to remove a sidebar via an action hook

I'm currently using
remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar', 10 );

and it's not working.

I've stuck that code snippet in a template file, in my plugin file, and my functions.php file and it simply does not work.

Obviously I'm missing something.

I'm using Genesis v 2.01 and the Agency Pro child theme in HTML5 mode.

I do have Genesis Simple Sidebars installed.

I figured it out.

Genesis Simple Sidebars unhooks the regular Genesis genesis_do_sidebar action and replaces it with it's own.

To dynamically remove a sidebar when Genesis Simple Sidebars is installed you have do it like this:

add_action( 'get_header', 'msm_force_course_sidebar' );
function msm_force_course_sidebar(){    
    remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'ss_do_sidebar' );
}

Wow, thanks so much for posting this, I never would have worked that one out myself. I've got my custom widget area working now, thanks to you 🙂

It looks as if the woo genesis connector also takes control of sidebars such that this code doesn't work.
Anyone have a solution there?
