[...] This is a bit more advanced than Rae’s post but it goes a bit deeper into setting up conditional rules that make your thesis modifications only appear of specific pages. I created a conditional rule to [...]

This is very helpful. I have one question though, lets say that I want to target the hook itself to only one page or category, what would the function for that look like.

For instance, I'm trying to add a search bar to my website that only shows up on certain category pages.

The code for that hook is: add_action('thesis_hook_before_content_box', 'thesis_search_form');

But I cant' figure out how to place it into a function that targets only certain pages. Any ideas?

Howdy,

This is great. How do you modify the code, however, if you're using Openhook? You would no longer need to define where the hook is placed since Openhook does that for you but you still need to code the conditional...how would that look using your example above for the About page but using Openhook to carry it out?

Thanks! Awesome stuff!

this is pretty awesome post! thanks a lot :)

i have a question though..let's say I want to you use is_page('') conditional tag and specify more than one page id, is it possible to do that? What I want to do is apply certain theisis hooks to multiply pages (but not all of them) I have their page IDs but I have no idea how to use it with conditional tags

is it possible to do that?

Thanks again for your time. Your tutorial have already helped me a lot!

I'm not sure I understand your question. A hook is just a place within the code where you can insert functions that do what you want to do. And you use the custom_functions.php file to write those functions. There is a plug-in called OpenHook that lets you insert code into hooks without going into the php file itself, but you can't use it to add code to specific pages only. Here's a post I wrote about OpenHook:

I hope that helps.

Question, what if I just wanted to use thesis hooks and not go into the php file to make changes. For example, say I just wanted to word welcome to appear before the Navigation bar, but only on the home page? Can I use Thesis Hooks to accomplish this with a code? Thank you for this useful info!

Exactly what I was looking for - worked perfectly. Instructions and explanations are clear, easy to understand, and thorough.

This is a perfect example of how thesis tutorials should be done (and I've read plenty recently...)

John, can you send me an email (Thesis@TechForLuddites.com) with a link to your site and the page you want to customize? It will make it easier for me to figure out what specific code you need.
