    Hi!

    I need to modify one theme which isn’t built very smart.
    I need to override (remove) this action using child theme
    add_action( 'after_setup_theme' , 'setup_theme' );

    I tried to do following, but it doesn’t work:

    add_action('init','remove_setup_theme');
    function remove_setup_theme(){
        $status = remove_action( 'after_setup_theme' , 'setup_theme' );
        if ($status) {
            echo(' setup_theme removed');
        } else wp_die(' setup_theme not removed');
    }

    And it always dies ??
    Please help!

  • Hi,

    Try this code

    add_action('after_setup_theme','remove_setup_theme');
function remove_setup_theme(){
    $status = remove_action( 'after_setup_theme' , 'setup_theme', 1 );
    if ($status) {
        echo(' setup_theme removed');
    } else {
        wp_die(' setup_theme not removed');
    }
}

    because init called after after_setup_theme so parent theme action called before your remove action.

    Thanks! It worked, but I had to add priority to add_action not remove_action ??

    Same thing both are same hooks not an issue ??
