Suppressing hero on pages without feature image
7 replies · Started by Steven on August 8, 2019
I see the option for a fallback image if there isn't a feature image associated on a page that has a hero Element applied. However, I'm wondering if there's a way to have the space the hero takes up suppressed if no feature image is selected for a particular page. If not, it would be great to have that as an option on the Appearance > Elements > Page Hero settings page or have this be the default behavior. I know you can use the Element display rules, but that will get out of hand with 2,000+ pages on our site.
Hi there,
What do you mean by suppressed exactly? Like remove the entire Element if no featured image exists?
Let me know :)
Yes - if there's no feature image, the whole element would be removed.
Try this:
add_filter( 'generate_header_element_display', function( $display, $element_id ) {
if ( 123 === $element_id ) { // Only target specific Element
if ( ! has_post_thumbnail() ) {
$display = false;
}
}
return $display;
}, 10, 2 );Just update 123 to the ID of your Element.
Let me know :)
I'm still new to WordPress so might not be adding this filter correctly. I created a child theme and placed the following in the child theme functions.php file:
<?php
add_filter( 'generate_header_element_display', function( $display, $element_id ) {
if ( 11089 === $element_id ) { // Only target specific Element
if ( ! has_post_thumbnail() ) {
$display = false;
}
}
return $display;
} );When I do this, all of the site pages are blank. When I remove all content from the child theme functions.php file, the site renders as expected while the child theme is still active. So I think the child theme is set up correctly.
Am I missing a step?
Ah, sorry! Can you try the updated code here?: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/suppressing-hero-on-pages-without-feature-image/#post-980046
Thanks you! That appears to have done the trick ;)
Awesome, glad I could help :)
