Remove slider on home page

    Hi Folks

    I am just starting to get to grips with this amazing theme but have some questions please?

    I would like to remove the Slider from just the home, (static) page but still show it on the blog page if that is possible.

    Also I need to be able to remove the comments from the homepage as well but still allow them on the blog page.

    Finally, (for the moment), I would like the initial posts on the blog page to be a short version of each post with a “read more” link to the full post, is this acheivable and if so I really would appreciate some advise.

    Any ideas please?

    Many thanks

    1. http://www.prasannasp.net/graphene-slider-on-other-pages-modifying-theme-functions-using-a-child-theme/

    Use is_home() conditional tag.

    2. Dashboard > Pages and Quick edit static front page and uncheck Allow comments.

    3. Graphene Options > Display > Excerpts display options.

    Hi Prasanna

    many thanks for getting back to me, much appreciated.

    I have created the php file as your suggest with the following coe:

    <?php
    function graphene_display_slider(){
    graphene_slider();
    add_action('wp_footer', 'graphene_scrollable');
    }

    function custom_enqueue_scripts(){
    if ( ! is_admin() ) { // Front-end only
    wp_enqueue_script( 'graphene-jquery-tools' ); // jQuery Tools, required for slider
    }
    }
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_enqueue_scripts' );

    function graphene_display_slider(){
    if (is_single() || is_front_page()|| is_home()){
    graphene_slider();
    add_action('wp_footer', 'graphene_scrollable');
    }
    }
    ?>

    This does not remove the slider from the home page: http://www.blog.bigfish-littlefishuk.co.uk/ though. What am I doing wrong?

    Hope to speak soon.

    Thanks again

    Don’t put the same function twice. Try this,

    <?php
    function graphene_display_slider() {
    if ( ! is_home() ) {
    graphene_slider();
    add_action('wp_footer', 'graphene_scrollable');
    }
    }

    function custom_enqueue_scripts(){
    if ( ! is_home() ) { // Front-end only
    wp_enqueue_script( 'graphene-jquery-tools' ); // jQuery Tools, required for slider
    }
    }
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_enqueue_scripts' );

    Hi Prasanna

    For some reason this removes the slider from the blog page but not the static home page?

    Hope to speak soon.

    Kind regards

    Oops! There shouldn’t be a ! before is_home(). This should work.

    <?php
    function graphene_display_slider() {
    if ( is_home() ) {
    graphene_slider();
    add_action('wp_footer', 'graphene_scrollable');
    }
    }

    function custom_enqueue_scripts(){
    if ( is_home() ) { // Front-end only
    wp_enqueue_script( 'graphene-jquery-tools' ); // jQuery Tools, required for slider
    }
    }
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_enqueue_scripts' );

    Hi Prasanna

    That seems to be working perfectly, many thanks.

    I’m afraid I know little if anything about php so this will be a steep learning curve, expect to hear lots from me I’m afraid as I’m a keen learner.

    Just one thing, If I want to add the slider to other pages such as the blog page: http://www.blog.bigfish-littlefishuk.co.uk/blog/ how do I do that?

    Speak soon

    Hi Prasanna

    I think I have just got it; when I create a page I need to select the layout and not use the “Default Layout” option.

    This seems to solve it.

    Speak soon

    Hmm.. That should actually put the slider on blog page. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#The_Main_Page

    Okay, try this,

    <?php
    function graphene_display_slider() {
    if ( is_page('blog') ) {
    graphene_slider();
    add_action('wp_footer', 'graphene_scrollable');
    }
    }

    function custom_enqueue_scripts(){
    if ( is_page('blog') ) { // Front-end only
    wp_enqueue_script( 'graphene-jquery-tools' ); // jQuery Tools, required for slider
    }
    }
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_enqueue_scripts' );

    Hi Prasanna

    The slider is now showing on the blog page but if I wanted to show it on other pages is there anything that I have to add to the php code?

    Speak soon
