If you need them, you need to add your action somewhere later. I don't really know all the wordpress actions or their order, but I have seen template_redirect been recommended before when there was a need for conditionals to work. I guess that template_redirect is used somewhere around fetching the right template page, so the conditinals <em>definitely</em> need to be set by then. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/remove-widgetized-areas-except-from-homepage#post-21268 Thu, 12 May 2011 19:03:46 +0000 chris_s 21268@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the explanation.

I did a folderwise search for "<code>widget_area_subsidiaries()</code>", and they all popped up in the results. There really are action hooks everywhere - <code>thematic_before_first_sub()</code>, <code>thematic_between_firstsecond_sub()</code>, <code>thematic_between_secondthird_sub()</code> etc. </p> <p>Not all actions have priorities, but the ones added to <code>thematic_header</code> and <code>thematic_footer</code> have for sure. This makes it easy to switch the order of the div's around if you want.

From what I see, <code>widget_area_subsidiaries()</code> is actually an action hook to which all the subsidiaries gets attached. My last resort would have been to unhook them all in order and add them conditionally back again, but I'm glad this worked too.
