Shape 5

Hello I am trying to hide the article content area but it doesn't seem to be working it still appears as is.

I go to Main > Layout > Select Hide Component Output then select the page I don't want the article area but nothing happens.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here?

Here is the link http://www.stoneseed.co.uk/beta/
I have supplied a screenshot of the backend settings

Hello,

It's odd that it's showing selected gray, normally a browser would show blue when it's selected. If you save the configuration does it remain highlighted when you enter back into the configuration?

When you first select it its blue but once you save and it reloads it displays as grey.

Hello,

That should definitely be working. If you can private message me super admin access and ftp access I can take a closer look.

Hello,

I am not really sure what is causing this problem. All the code looks correct, I am not able to replicate the problem locally, and we have other reports of this. It's very strange, it might have something to do with your temporary "beta" url, but I don't see what. I created a custom work around for you though by adding the following to index.php which will hide the component with css on the homepage:

<?php
//Detect homepage
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$menu = $app->getMenu();
$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault($lang->getTag())) { ?>
#s5_center_area1 {
display:none !important;
}
<?php } ?>   

Do I stick the PHP code anywhere on the index.php. Has it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Hello,

I have already put this on your site and I see the content area is hiding on the homepage of your site. Are you still seeing an issue somewhere?

Oh yes it has worked but only on the homepage. Is there a way to remove it on other pages too?

No problem I have sorted it now thanks for your help :)

Hello, I am having the same issue with another site. I can't seem to get ride of the article content area even thou it I have highlighted it in the template. I tried adding the code above with no such look where abouts in the index.php did you add it?
