[Resolved] Remove the element from frontpage

[Carsten]

Hi there, how do I remove the header from the frontpage only?

I have added this condition to the code from the documentation https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_header/
but it has no effect, and displays the header on other pages as well.

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'tu_remove_header' );
function tu_remove_header() {
    if ( is_front_page() ) {
        remove_action( 'generate_header', 'generate_construct_header' );
    }
}

Thanks

Hi Carsten,

You can use a layout element to remove the header without using code.
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/layout-element-overview/

Please be noted, if the navigation as header option is enabled, then the code will not work, as there’s no header but only navigation on your site.

Hi Ying, I really want to add the function to my functions.php instead, so any idea why the code should not work here?

Thanks

[Ying]

Can you link me to your site?

[Carsten]

Sure

[Ying]

Try this code instead：

add_action( 'wp', 'tu_remove_header' );
function tu_remove_header() {
    if ( is_front_page() ) {
        remove_action( 'generate_header', 'generate_construct_header' );
    }
}

Hi Ying

Thank you, it is working perfectly.

Just curius on, why the other code snippet is not working when the if is_front_page statement is added?

When after_setup_theme doesn’t work, try wp 🙂
