Disable Elements From Custom Templates

Hi there,

you could do this:

1. Create your Layout Element and DO NOT SET the display Rules and Publish that. Whilst your in the element editor grab the ID that will be in the browser URL.

2. Then add this PHP Snippet:

add_filter( 'generate_layout_element_display', function( $display, $element_id ) {
    if ( 10 === $element_id && is_page_template( 'your-template.php' ) ) {
        $display = true;
    }

    return $display;
}, 10, 2 );

In the code change the 10 to your elements ID and update the your-template.php slug

Awesome, it's working great!

In fact, your solution helped me figure out the one for my specific case which is regarding a HEADER ELEMENT. So I had to change the filter name to generate_header_element_display and the element_id with my header element id extracted from the url and it's just working great.

I ended up with this code:

add_filter( 'generate_header_element_display', function( $display, $element_id ) {
    if ( 557 === $element_id && is_page_template( 'page-templates/landing-page.php' ) ) {
        $display = false;
    }

    return $display;
}, 10, 2 );

Thanks a lot David, that will save me a lot of page exclusions. Cheers!

Glad to be of help!
