[Support request] Disable Header on Entire Site

[catbiscuits]

Hi, it is super easy to get rid of sidebars, but headers are another matter. How do I get rid of it? I don’t want it at all on any page. I’ve looked on the forum and in documentation, but nothing seems right. I have created a disable header hook, selected generate_header, clicked on disable site header, clicked on execute php, and there it is on my front page. Any ideas?

I love Generatepress, but I wish the header could be treated more like a block we could edit from the customize page.

Hi there,

You can do so by creating a layout element to disable the site header and assign the element to the entire site:

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Just when I thought this was resolved, I went to one page … here. Yikes! The featured image appears at the top of the page. I wasn’t expecting that. I thought I’d disabled the header!!!

So I went into the Customizer > Layout > Blog -> Featured images –> I disabled the featured image.

And the featured image is still there. I don’t understand.

I have also tried adding the following to additional css but no luck…

.post-image-above-header .inside-article .featured-image, .post-image-above-header .inside-article .post-image {
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 2em;
display: none;
}

.post-image-aligned-center .featured-image, .post-image-aligned-center .post-image {
text-align: center;
display: none;
}

Well, what the heck, it finally disappeared. There must be some caching at Kinsta or somewhere in the pipe that I don’t know about since I was opening it on browsers on other machines that had never seen that page. I don’t get it.

Let me know if there are any issues with hiding it using this method.

The featured image is unrelated to header so hiding the header wouldn’t remove the featured image as well.
