[Resolved] How to Hide Header from Page 2/3/4 of Blog

[Lewis]

I’m looking to hide a header element from page 2 onwards of my blog. I’ve tried a code I found on the forum to hide the header which works fine BUT it also hides my category headers for pages 2 onwards which I don’t want to happen.

I only want to apply this to the homepage header.

I’ve also tried the following:

add_filter( 'generate_block_element_display', function( $display ) {
  if ( 6125 === $element_id && is_paged() ) {
     $display = false;
  }

  return $display;
} );

But that fails on me.

Any ideas?

Hi there,

try changing the condition:

if ( 6125 === $element_id && is_paged() ) {

to:

if ( 6125 === $element_id && is_paged() && !is_category() ) {

[Lewis]

That hasn’t worked sorry David.

Just to confirm 6125 is the element ID of the homepage header.

[David]

Do you have separate Elements for the Home and the Category archives ?

[Lewis]

Yes I do. Both are header elements but they are separate. Homepage header is only used for front page.

[David]

What code do you have that is working – but also affecting the categories?

[Lewis]

add_filter( 'generate_header_element_display', function( $display ) {
    if ( is_paged() ) {
       $display = false;
    }

    return $display;
} );

Here you go

[David]

Try:

add_filter( 'generate_element_display', function( $display ) {
  if ( 6125 === $element_id && is_paged() ) {
     $display = false;
  }

  return $display;
} );

[Lewis]

No luck I’m afraid. I’ve shared the URL of the offending page where it is still showing in the private information section.

[David]

Can you edit the Header Element and check the URL to make sure the 6125 is the ID?

[Lewis]

Can confirm it is 6125. URL is:

wp-admin/post.php?post=6125&action=edit

I have also cleared cache just to confirm that’s not blocking anything and still no luck.

[David]

Doh! Missed the obvious:

add_filter( 'generate_element_display', function( $display, $element_id ) {
    if ( 6125 === $element_id && is_paged() ) {
       $display = false;
    }

    return $display;
}, 10, 2 );

[Lewis]

There we have it!

Thanks for working through that David.

[David]

Sorry about that – don’t know what i was thinking.
Glad to be of help!
