Turning Home Page into a Portal Page

[Lakshmi]

Hello!
A bit of a challenge here. My client needs her home page designed so that it looks like a portal page. I would like the home page widgets, slider and footer to work, but remove the menu bar just for the first page.
Any ideas?
I can code so if it involves changing the index page php let me know…

Thanks!

Lakshmi

There’s a few ways,

1. css to display: none; but target it only for the front page body tag ID or class (although the menu is still there, just hidden)
2. use a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-items-visibility-control/
3. or customize the header.php file via child theme by doing a conditional is_front_page() around the nav code:

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-it-possible-to-hide-menu-completely-in-home-page

This is the code you would wrap with the conditional:

                    

                      

                    
					<a class="screen-reader-text skip-link" href="#content" title="">
					
					 'primary', 'container' => false,'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) ); ?>
				
                
			 

Then do the same for the Secondary nav further below if you intend to use the secondary nav for any menus as well.
