Disable some sidebars from appearing in the dropdown

Hi @mouret,

Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, we missed this thread somehow ??

Are you looking to remove footer sections from page sidebar selector?

You can go to Widget panel and expand your footer sections, at the bottom you should see “Allow this sidebar to be replaced” option, disable this and that should do the trick ??

Cheers,
Predrag

No problem.

No its a bit the other way around – I don’t want the footer area to appear in the drop down list.
(I have no interest in putting footers and other “default” sidebars into my own sidebar areas.)

I ended up styling it away ??

Like this:

add_action('admin_head', 'style_admin');
function style_admin() {
	$screen = get_current_screen();
	$cur_php = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
	if ($cur_php == "post.php") {
		if ( $screen->post_type == 'page' && isset($_GET['post'] ) ) { 
			// page edit
		}
		echo '<style>
		.wp-admin .cs-replacement-field option[value|=footer],
		.wp-admin .cs-replacement-field option[value=sidebar-left],
		.wp-admin .cs-replacement-field option[value=sidebar-right] {
			display: none;
		}
		</style>';
	}
}

But if there are other ways I’m all ears.

Hello mouret,

Let me check that with developer is there is another way to do that.

kind regards,
