   Hi There,

   I'm trying to create a footer navigation on the inside pages of a site, and removing the footer subsidiaries which are active on the homepage. I want to keep the 3 footer subsidiaries on the homepage only, and on the inside pages I'd like to remove then and replace them with a footer navigation. My basic PHP skills and understanding of hooks and filters are most of my problem! ANy help would be greatly appreciated as well as any major no-no's I'm committing here in the following code. This is what I've got
   

   // function to remove subs
   function remove_thematic_subs() {
   	 remove_action('thematic_footer','thematic_subsidiaries', 10);
   	}
   
   //Creating SC footer nav
   function sc_footer_nav() {
   	?>
         <div id="footerNav">
         	<ul>
   		<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
   		</ul>
         </div>
      <?php
   }
   
   // If Statement to determine which page to remove Subs from
   function footer_swap() {
    // We test if we are on the page front page
    if (is_front_page()) {
    // Yes, we are .. now we leave the subs instact
    return NULL;
    }
    else {
    // we are not .. we turn the subs off and add footer nav
    return add_action('init','remove_thematic_subs');
           add_action('thematic_footer', 'sc_footer_nav');
    }
   }
   // execute removing the subs
   add_action('init','footer_swap');

   I think in your case maybe changeing from 'init' to 'wp' or 'template_redirect'. Reason being that ive never had good results trying to check is_page() or any other conditional before initialization finishes.

   Second why not us a menu widget and the 'Widget Logic' plugin to hide the home page widgets on other pages.

   Thanks Daniel! I wasn't aware of the Widget Logic plugin, which seems incredibly useful for many reasons! And it helps in other problems I was looking at down the road too. Also I replaced the 'init' with 'wp' and it worked. But it still won't create the new footer nav, and I'm not sure if this is because I'm using a single 3.0 style menu... So instead of trying to re-invent the wheel, I'll give a go with this Widget logic and solve a few problems at once. With Wordpress there seems to be a few ways to get from point A to B eh?

   // If Statement to determine which page to remove Subs from
   function footer_swap() {
    // We test if we are on the page front page
    if (is_front_page()) {
    // Yes, we are .. now we leave the subs instact
    return NULL;
    }
    else {
    // we are not .. we turn the subs off
    return remove_thematic_subs();
           add_action('thematic_footer', 'sc_footer_nav');
    }
   }
   // execute removing the subs
   add_action('wp','footer_swap');

   So After installing and rocking out with the Widget Logic plugin, I accomplish all I was attempting and more!
   I'll consider this one resolved.
   Thanks Daniel.
