If you need them, you need to add your action somewhere later. I don't really know all the wordpress actions or their order, but I have seen template_redirect been recommended before when there was a need for conditionals to work. I guess that template_redirect is used somewhere around fetching the right template page, so the conditinals <em>definitely</em> need to be set by then. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/remove-widgetized-areas-except-from-homepage#post-21268 Thu, 12 May 2011 19:03:46 +0000 chris_s 21268@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the explanation. I've now been better edumacated on how Thematic works and what's really possible! :)</p> <p>EDIT: Oooh ooh. One more. What's the <code>template_redirect</code> for? Haven't seen that used before. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/remove-widgetized-areas-except-from-homepage#post-21264 Thu, 12 May 2011 18:50:26 +0000 middlesister 21264@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Digging deeeep in the souce code. ;)</p> <p>No, really, the actions and order of thematic_footer are in footer_extensions.php and the action hooks for subsidiaries can be found in sidebar-extensions.php. I did a folderwise search for "<code>widget_area_subsidiaries()</code>", and they all popped up in the results. There really are action hooks everywhere - <code>thematic_before_first_sub()</code>, <code>thematic_between_firstsecond_sub()</code>, <code>thematic_between_secondthird_sub()</code> etc. </p> <p>Not all actions have priorities, but the ones added to <code>thematic_header</code> and <code>thematic_footer</code> have for sure. This makes it easy to switch the order of the div's around if you want. I haven't read about it in the docs either, but now we know the widget_area_subsidiaries have priorities too. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/remove-widgetized-areas-except-from-homepage#post-21263 Thu, 12 May 2011 18:28:31 +0000 chris_s 21263@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Last question, and this is for my personal knowledge, where did you come up with the order number for subsidiaries? I know we're supposed to use them with removing actions, but I never read anywhere in the docs about subsidiaries having an order. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/remove-widgetized-areas-except-from-homepage#post-21262 Thu, 12 May 2011 18:23:14 +0000 middlesister 21262@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Phew finally! :-D</p> <p>I wonder too. From what I see, <code>widget_area_subsidiaries()</code> is actually an action hook to which all the subsidiaries gets attached. My last resort would have been to unhook them all in order and add them conditionally back again, but I'm glad this worked too. I guess the hook function could not be conditionally replaced with the childtheme_override, don't really understand why though. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/remove-widgetized-areas-except-from-homepage#post-21261 Thu, 12 May 2011 18:11:36 +0000 chris_s 21261@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>That actually worked.

I guess you can clearly see that the template is used on the front page. Have you tried putting anything else in another action hook, just to see if is_front_page() works at all? Something like</p> <pre><code>function front_page_test() { if ( is_front_page() ) { echo &#39;bacon!&#39;; } } add_action(&#39;thematic_abovecontent&#39; , &#39;front_page_test&#39;)</code></pre> <p>Otherwise, maybe you could try <code>is_page_template(&#39;front-page.php&#39;)</code> for the conditional in the childtheme_override function... </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/remove-widgetized-areas-except-from-homepage#post-21257 Thu, 12 May 2011 17:23:47 +0000 chris_s 21257@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>No, not in that template, but I am in another one in my child theme root for a Nivo Slider.

It will change the global values of $wp_query so some conditionals will no longer be the same.

I tried it on a test install and it works for me. The name of the function is just like I wrote - <code>childtheme_override_subsidiaries()</code>. Place it straight in your functions.php and not inside another function. You don't need any add_action or add_filter for it to get used.</p> <p>This code will only add the subsidiaries widget on the front page and not to any other pages. You can also try with <code>is_home()</code> if your front page is your blog page. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/remove-widgetized-areas-except-from-homepage#post-21249 Thu, 12 May 2011 16:34:28 +0000 chris_s 21249@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Nevermind... wasn't using <code>childtheme_override_widget_area_subsidiaries</code>.
