Hi,

I want to customise Catch Box Pro to display the H1 tag for the Site Title only on the Home page. I think I know how to do this, but I cannot find the catchbox_before_headercontent() function that I suspect contains the Site Title & Description code.

Can you please tell me where I can find this function?

Regards, Robertf

It’s in the function catchbox_headerdetails() in custom-header.php. You need to build child theme and then you can just remove the action by adding the following code in functions.php in your child theme.
remove_action( 'catchbox_headercontent', 'catchbox_headerdetails', 11 );

Then build your function with changes such as catchbox_headerdetails_child() and hook with action hook
add_action( 'catchbox_headercontent', 'catchbox_headerdetails_child', 12 );

Thanks, Sakin. Will try your suggestion and let you know how it works.

Robertf

Hi Sakin, I tried your code suggestion, but the results is that the header is displayed twice, as per the source code extract:
<div id=”header-content” class=”clearfix“>
<div class=”logo-wrap clearfix“>
<div id=”site-logo“><a href=”http://192.168.0.192/wordpress/” title=”RobertFairhead.com” rel=”home“>
<img src=”http://192.168.0.192/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/cropped-head-robert-bw-sm22.png” width=”103” height=”140” alt=”RobertFairhead.com” />
</a></div>
<hgroup id=”site-details“>
<h1 id=”site-title“><a href=”http://192.168.0.192/wordpress/” title=”RobertFairhead.com” rel=”home“>RobertFairhead.com</a></h1>
<h2 id=”site-description“>The Tall and True Tales of a Midlife Man</h2>
</hgroup>
</div><!– .logo-wrap –>
<div class=”logo-wrap clearfix“>
<div id=”site-logo“><a href=”http://192.168.0.192/wordpress/” title=”RobertFairhead.com” rel=”home“>
<img src=”http://192.168.0.192/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/cropped-head-robert-bw-sm22.png” width=”103” height=”140” alt=”RobertFairhead.com” />
</a></div>
<hgroup id=”site-details“>
<h1 id=”site-title“><a href=”http://192.168.0.192/wordpress/” title=”RobertFairhead.com” rel=”home“>RobertFairhead.com</a></h1>
<h2 id=”site-description“>The Tall and True Tales of a Midlife Man</h2>
</hgroup>
</div><!– .logo-wrap –>
<div id=”sidebar-header-right” class=”widget-area sidebar-top clearfix“>
<aside id=”quotescollection” class=”widget quotescollection_widget“><div id=”quotescollection_randomquote-0” class=”quotescollection_randomquote“><p><q>A day without laughter is a day wasted.</q> <cite>&mdash;&nbsp;<span class=”quotescollection_author“>Charlie Chaplin</span></cite></p><script type=”text/javascript“>quotescollection_timer(0, 2, 1, 1, ”, 500, 60, 1);</script></div></aside><aside id=”search-3” class=”widget widget_search“> <form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”http://192.168.0.192/wordpress/“>
<label for=”s” class=”assistive-text“>Search</label>

<input type=”submit” class=”submit” name=”submit” id=”searchsubmit” value=”Search” />
</form>
</aside></div> <!– #sidebar-top –>
</div><!– #header-content –>
I researched what may be causing this and found 2 possible problems:

1) The priority of the remove_action needs to match the priority used in the add_action. Therefore, I modified your suggested code as follows, but this had no effect: remove_action( ‘catchbox_headercontent’, ‘catchbox_headerdetails’, 15 );

2) The remove_action can be done only after the action is added. I wondered if this is the problem, if the Catch Box Pro add_action( ‘catchbox_headercontent’, ‘catchbox_headerdetails’, 15 ) is not called till after my remove_action( ‘catchbox_headercontent’, ‘catchbox_headerdetails’, 15 )?

BTW: I have put the your suggested code fix and my modified catchbox_headerdetails_child() in functions.php in my Child Theme.

I hope this is enough to help you to work out what I’m doing wrong.

Hi Sakin, The following is a copy of functions.php from my Child Theme:

Regards, Robertf

<?php

/**

* Child Theme overrides for Catch Box Pro functions and definitions

*

* When using a child theme (see http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development and

* http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes), you can override certain functions

* (those wrapped in a function_exists() call) by defining them first in your child theme’s

* functions.php file. The child theme’s functions.php file is included before the parent

* theme’s file, so the child theme functions would be used.

*

* Functions that are not pluggable (not wrapped in function_exists()) are instead attached

* to a filter or action hook. The hook can be removed by using remove_action() or

* remove_filter() and you can attach your own function to the hook.

*

* We can remove the parent theme’s hook only after it is attached, which means we need to

* wait until setting up the child theme:

*

* <code>

* add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘my_child_theme_setup’ );

* function my_child_theme_setup() {

*     // We are providing our own filter for excerpt_length (or using the unfiltered value)

*     remove_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘catchbox_excerpt_length’ );

*     …

* }

* </code>

*

* For more information on hooks, actions, and filters, see http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API.

*

* @package Catch Themes

* @subpackage Catch_Box_Pro

* @since Catch Box Pro 1.0

PS. Sorry, Sakin, I’ve just notice that I’d commented out the add_action( ‘catchbox_headercontent’, ‘catchbox_headerdetails_child’, 12 );

This was just so I could get on with testing, until I worked out how to do use the Child Theme function without displaying the double Header.

Regards, Robert

[Sakin]

@Robertf: Is it working. I have emailed you so that you can send me code. This forum is quite complicated for codes. Sorry for that.

[Robertf]

Hi Sakin, No, unfortunately the Child Theme remove/add_action is still resulting in 2 headers being displayed. I have emailed you a zipped copy of my Catch Box Pro & Child Theme folders.

I do appreciate that it’s hard to work through the code on the forum & trust that the zip copy helps.

Once again, thanks for your assistance.

Regards, Robertf

[Sakin]

Hi Robert,

Sorry, I gave you wrong action to remove it. I didn’t realize it was for the child theme.

First you have to Unhook default Catch Box Pro functions by adding following functions in your child theme functions.
// Unhook default Catch Box Pro functions
function unhook_catchbox_functions() {
// Don’t forget the position number if the original function has one
remove_action( ‘catchbox_headercontent’, ‘catchbox_headerdetails’, 15 );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘unhook_catchbox_functions’ );

Then you can add in your own function like below:
add_action( ‘catchbox_headercontent’, ‘catchbox_headerdetails_child’, 15 );
function catchbox_headerdetails_child() { ?>
<div class="logo-wrap clearfix">
<?php
// Check to see if the header image has been removed
$header_image = get_header_image();
if ( ! empty( $header_image ) ) : ?>
<div id="site-logo"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( ‘/’ ) ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( ‘name’, ‘display’ ) ); ?>" rel="home">
<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo get_custom_header()->width; ?>" height="<?php echo get_custom_header()->height; ?>" alt="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( ‘name’, ‘display’ ) ); ?>" />
</a></div>
<?php endif; // end check for removed header image ?>
<hgroup id="site-details">
<h1 id="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( ‘/’ ) ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( ‘name’, ‘display’ ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( ‘name’ ); ?></a></h1>
<h2 id="site-description"><?php bloginfo( ‘description’ ); ?></h2>
</hgroup>
</div><!– .logo-wrap –>
<?php }

[Sakin]

I have also emailed you the code.

[Robertf]

Thanks, Sakin.

I added your functions.php to my Child Theme and it works as I’d hoped it would. However, I am glad that you wrote it because the unhooking of the default functions looked far more technical than I thought it would be!

Hopefully that will be the last bit of customising I need to do.

Regards, Robertf

PS. Will give you a big plug in the WP Themes forum 😉

 

[Sakin]

@Robertf: Yes. I didn’t realize the unhooking process and simply gave you the function. As I am supporting a lot of users. But I am happy that finally it worked for you.

PS. Are you writing plugin or review of theme.

[Robertf]

Sakin, I will write a review of the Catch Box Pro theme, which I have found to be an excellent base for a responsive template and one that can be customised without too much technical know-how … except for the unhooking process, which I think is a WordPress issue, not a problem with the theme 😉

Regards, Robert

[Sakin]

Yes Robert, The unhooking process is the WordPress hook. Thanks for using Catch Box Pro theme.
