Cannot get post ID

[markhedley]

Hi,

I am attempting to disable the menu for certain pages and added the following code to my child themes functions.php

function themeblvd_custom_menu_content() {
            //echo $requested_page;
            //Code for custom landing page menue will go here
}

/* Remove all other actions and add in our custom function */
    function themeblvd_custom_menu() {
		$id = get_the_ID();
		if ($id == 16961) {		
	        remove_all_actions( 'themeblvd_header_menu' ); // Remove all other actions
    	    add_action( 'themeblvd_header_menu', 'themeblvd_custom_menu_content' ); // Add our custom function
		}
    }

/* Hook everything in after theme has been loaded */
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'themeblvd_custom_menu' );

For some reason the ID of the page is not available in function themeblvd_custom_menu() but is in function themeblvd_custom_menu_content(). I have verified this by echoing the id in both functions.

I have spent hours trying to resolve and searched for answers without success.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Hey Mark,

You’re hooking your themeblvd_custom_menu() function to “after_setup_theme” — This is before WordPress has setup anything to do with the current loop. So, at this point, calling get_the_ID() won’t get you any where, as it’s meant to be used within the loop. First I’d suggest not using get_the_ID(), and second, to hook your function to something later on after the global $post object has been setup, like “wp”.

Try something like this:

function my_custom_menu_content() {
	// ...
}

function my_custom_menu() {
	if ( is_page(16961) ) {		
		remove_all_actions( 'themeblvd_header_menu' ); // Remove all other actions
		add_action( 'themeblvd_header_menu', 'my_custom_menu_content' ); // Add our custom function
	}
}
add_action( 'wp', 'my_custom_menu' );
