Remove Genesis layout settings for a Custom Post Type

By

If you’ve forced a layout for a custom post type, there’s no need to display the Layout Settings metabox in the edit screen. Here’s a code snippet that removes the layout options for a product custom post type.

/** Remove Genesis inpost layouts from 'product' post_type */
add_action( 'init', 'child_remove_post_type_support' );
function child_remove_post_type_support() {
	remove_post_type_support( 'product', 'genesis-layouts' );
}

Replace product with the custom post type you want this to work for.

Force a layout in a template

By

Here’s a code snippet you can use when you want to lock down a layout for a specific template. Just drop the following into a single-posttype.php, template-something.php, etc before the genesis() function:

add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

Note: __genesis_return_full_width_content is a helper function built into Genesis. See the end of this post on all available helper functions: Overriding Options and Meta.

Alternate method from Brad in the comments below which can go in functions.php:

/** Force full width layout */
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', 'child_do_layout' );
function child_do_layout( $opt ) {
	if ( is_single() ) { // Modify the conditions to apply the layout to here
		$opt = 'full-width-content'; // You can change this to any Genesis layout
		return $opt;
	}
}

As a reminder, Genesis comes with 6 default layouts:

content-sidebar
sidebar-content
content-sidebar-sidebar
sidebar-sidebar-content
sidebar-content-sidebar
full-width-content

See Brian Gardner’s post on creating a landing page in Genesis for a practical example of how you would use this.

Custom CSS classes and IDs for Genesis menus

By

Here’s a quick code snippet to:

  1. Assign an ID to the menu
  2. Change the menu class
  3. Append to the menu class
add_filter( 'genesis_do_nav', 'override_do_nav', 10, 3 );
function override_do_nav($nav_output, $nav, $args) {

    $args['menu_id'] = 'the_id_you_want';
    $args['menu_class'] = 'class1 class2'; // replace what was there
    $args['menu_class'] .= ' class3'; // or append to it

    // check which function should be used to build the nav
    // rebuild the nav using the updated arguments
    if ( genesis_get_option( 'nav' ) ) {
        if ( has_nav_menu( 'primary' ) ) {          
            $nav = wp_nav_menu( $args );            
        } elseif ( 'nav-menu' != genesis_get_option( 'nav_type', 'genesis-vestige' ) ) {
            $nav = genesis_nav( $args );
        }
    }

    // return the modified result
    return sprintf( '%2$s%1$s%3$s', $nav, genesis_structural_wrap( 'nav', 'open', 0 ), genesis_structural_wrap( 'nav', 'close', 0 ) );

}
