Trying to put some links in the footer...

Hi, I've just been building aurorahs.com on the Exhibit child theme and LOVE Generate Press and the full add-on suite.
One thing is bothering me.
I want to put some reminder links before the header, and the ideal place to do that is AFTER CONTENT, but that won't work on the HOME page. Is there an easy way of disabling the "HOOK" on just the home page? The reason is I have two custom sidebars there and the link bar gets crunched into the middle third. I did not want to use columns because I had issues with them working properly, they were abysmal on the smartphone AND the center section will be regularly updated while the sides much less so.
I have it set up now as BEFORE FOOTER CONTENT, but with that, I get a line between the body and the widget containers, though I have "SINGLE CONTAINER" selected.
Thanks,
Richard
I should note that the links are in an HTML table so they respond somewhat better to different display widths than if they were just padded with non-breaking spaces.
Well, I was able to change from a table to a text string for the links, and by using the <div> command to format it and including a break at the end, I lost the white space.
If you know a quick way to remove this "hook" from just the home page, I think it would look better AFTER CONTENT as it goes before the social media icons which makes more sense.
Thanks!
Hi Richard,
You can use PHP to exclude it from the homepage like this:
<?php if ( ! is_front_page() ) : ?>
Stuff in here won't appear on the homepage
<?php endif; ?>Hope this helps :)
THANKS, Tom!
Worked like a charm, when I turned "font page" into "front page" <smile>
Also, my <DIV> formatting needed to be outside the PHP IF clause or I got background visible.
Thanks again,
Cheers,
Richard
Ah, my mistake! Glad you caught that :)
Glad it worked for you.
