Hello,

I need to make a small structural change to the header by adding an additional div between the hgroup-wrap div and the page-title-wrap div.

Normally this would require editing the header.php file in a child theme, however in Interface everything is hooked so not an easy edit.

I did find and hack the inc/structure/header-extensions.php file… At line 835.

However, I would like to do it the proper way so my edits are not overwritten on updates.

I am using a child theme and I tried recreating the inc/structure/ directory in my child theme and pasting a modified header-extenstions.php file there and tried pasting it also in the root of my child theme. That didn’t work.

I also tried unhooking the entire interface_headercontent_details() function and re-hooking my own version in my child theme’s functions.php. Like this:

remove_action( 'interface_header', 'interface_headercontent_details', 10 );

add_action( 'interface_header', 'my_interface_headercontent_details', 12 );

It did create a correct additional header, however it also left the original, so there were two headers. I can’t figure out how to unhook the original interface header.

Can you offer any help on modifying Interface as a child theme? .. and specifically how to create my own customized header?

Or perhaps… write in some action hooks at key spots?

Thanks!

Hi spectrum_7,
This is a simple example to unhook the functions. This hook is for page 404.php but you do the same way to unhook the functions for header-extension.php

unhook functions

// Unhook default Thematic functions
function unhook_thematic_functions() {
    // Don't forget the position number if the original function has one

remove_action( 'attitude_404_content', 'attitude_display_404_page_content', 10 );

}
add_action('init','unhook_thematic_functions'); // removes the header content by using hook attitude_header

add_action( 'attitude_404_content', 'attitude_child_display_404_page_content', 10 );
/**
 * function to show the footer info, copyright information
 */
 
 
function attitude_child_display_404_page_content() {      ?>   
<div id="content">
		<header class="entry-header">
			<h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Error 404-Page NOT Found', 'attitude' ); ?></h1>
		</header>
		<div class="entry-content clearfix" >
			<p>Thank you</p> 
		</div><!-- .entry-content -->
	</div><!-- #content -->
  <?php 
}

If you are unable to unhook the functions then you need to hire a developer to fix the issue.

Thank you!

Okay, thanks.

I had the priority wrong on my unhook function….

And… I was hoping there was a simpler way than adding and hooking the 800+ lines of code from interface_headercontent_details() into my functions.php.

Here’s the unhook:

`//Remove the original headercontenct_details

function remove_interface_header_details() {
remove_action( ‘interface_header’, ‘interface_headercontent_details’, 10 );
}
add_action(‘interface_header’,’remove_interface_header_details’ , 9 );

//here’s the custom hook
add_action( ‘interface_header’, ‘my_interface_headercontent_details’, 10 );
function my_interface_headercontent_details() { THE FUNCTION GOES HERE }’
