Using ATA 3.5.3 and current version of Wordpress.

The site I am working on uses the page menu and cat menu (wp-menu system) on the static front page only (the cat menu is being used as a second page menu).
All other pages use a sidebar menu.
There is no blog page or posts... only pages.

My client wants a "template" for future pages. I created a page template using the index.php and just gave it a unique name.

The problem is... the template calls the page and cat menu and I don't want the client to have to use the custom css codes to eliminate the menu(s) every time they create a new page.

What php code would I place in the custom template to remove both menus?

Thanx in advance for any help.

Here is the template code:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Town template
*/
?>
<?php 	/* get all options: */
# error_reporting(-1);
include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/functions/bfa_get_options.php');
global $bfa_ata;
get_header(); ?>
<?php /* If there are any posts: */
if (have_posts()) : $bfa_ata['postcount'] = 0; /* Postcount needed for option "XX first posts full posts, rest excerpts" */ ?>

	<?php /* This outputs the next/previous post or page navigation. 
	This can be edited at Atahualpa Theme Options -> Style & edit the Center column */
	bfa_center_content($bfa_ata['content_above_loop']); ?>

	<?php /* The LOOP starts here. Do this for all posts: */
	while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $bfa_ata['postcount']++; ?>
	
		<?php /* Add Odd or Even post class so post containers can get alternating CSS style (optional) */
		$odd_or_even = (($bfa_ata['postcount'] % 2) ? 'odd-post' : 'even-post' ); ?> 

		<?php /* This is the actual Wordpress LOOP. 
		The output can be edited at Atahualpa Theme Options -> Style & edit the Center column */
		bfa_center_content($bfa_ata['content_inside_loop']); ?>

						
	<?php /* END of the LOOP */
	endwhile; ?>

	<?php /* This outputs the next/previous post or page navigation and the comment template.
	This can be edited at Atahualpa Theme Options -> Style & edit the Center column */
	bfa_center_content($bfa_ata['content_below_loop']); ?>

<?php /* END of: If there are any posts */
else : /* If there are no posts: */ ?>

<?php /* This outputs the "Not Found" content, if neither posts, pages nor attachments are available for the requested page.
This can be edited at Atahualpa Theme Options -> Style & edit the Center column */
bfa_center_content($bfa_ata['content_not_found']); ?>

<?php endif; /* END of: If there are no posts */ ?>

<?php bfa_center_content($bfa_ata['center_content_bottom']); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

First thing I would do is upgrade to 3.7.7 and make sure every thing is working. The index.php has changed so the templates will have to change too.

Thanks for replying.

I do not want to upgrade from 3.5.3. There are quite a few custom widgets in use along with a ton of custom css.

The client wanted their original site replicated with a few functionality and layout tweaks.
Old site - http://www.securitypest.com/
New site - http://securitypest.wordpressproservices.com/

I have been using 3.5.3 for a while now and it is easier to just cruise through it rather than getting used to a new version, applying fixes, etc.

I was hoping someone might know the proper php to simply remove the menus from the template.

you could always add some CSS and key off the 'body.templatename' and then the menu you want to hide with a 'display:none;'

PERFECT!

I should have thought of that.

Thanks Juggledad.

Here is what I did - I added this to the css inserts...

body.page-template.page-template-town-template-php #menu1 {display:none}
body.page-template.page-template-town-template-php #menu2 {display:none}

Works like a charm.
