How to remove Footer Widgets on specific Pages in Genesis

by 3 Comments

In my Facebook group a user asks:

Do you have a tutorial for removing the footer widgets from a couple of pages on a site (using Genesis, of course!)

Now I do.

The following sample code, when added to child theme’s functions.php will remove footer widgets on ‘About’ and ‘Contact’ Pages in a Genesis site:

// Remove Footer Widget Areas on 'About' and 'Contact' Pages
add_action( 'genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap', 'sk_footer_widget_areas' );
function sk_footer_widget_areas() {
if ( is_page( array( 'about', 'contact' ) ) ) {
remove_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );
}
}

  • Sridhar:

    Thanks for this! I am trying to remove the footer widgets from two pages; one is my shop page, and the other is a freebies page. This code was able to successfully remove the footer widgets from the freebies page, but not from the shop page. Do you have any ideas why this would be the case?

    Thanks for all you do!
