Hi there,
I have some seemingly simple code that I just can't get to work.
I want to remove the navigation on a statice home page.
Here is my code:
function remove_home_nav() {
if (is_home() || is_front_page()) {
remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_access',9);
}
}
add_action('init','remove_home_nav');This should work, right? I've tried lots of little tweaking but I feel like I'm missing something here..
unsure, maybe try hooking in a little later than init
add_action('template_redirect','remove_home_nav');
or maybe later still
add_action('wp_head','remove_home_nav');

Thanks! 'template_redirect' worked perfect.
If you've got a second...could you tell me why, exactly, it needs to be 'template_redirect' rather than 'init'? I'm kind of confused and just curious about this.
i "think" it is b/c init is called dead first thing. so sometimes WP doesn't know what type of page you are on and therefore all conditional logic fails b/c you have nothing to test against.
but the template_redirect hook is literally where WP decides which file is needed to display the page... and therefore it knows what page you are on and you can at this point perform conditional logic such as is_home()
hope that made sense.
