Hi,
If you want to remove that menu, you will need to have access to the file that is in yout Moodle site.
essential/layout/includes/header.php
and this is the section you need to remove:
https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-theme_essential/blob/master/layout/includes/header.php#L152-L154
To do this you only need a simple text editor like Notepad to open the file. delete the code and then save it.
Hope that helps?
Cheers
Mary
Hi Mary,
I actually believe it's this one: https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-theme_essential/blob/master/layout/includes/header.php#L163-L165
Just wanted to make sure people aren't deleting the wrong bits!
Also, if you can't get to the server files, you can just add the following CSS to your Custom CSS box:
The thing is with themes you can never really satisfying everyone. Either they want something that is not there or they want it removing because it is!
Thanks for pointing this out.
I dare say these should be optional menus anyway.
Ah well.glad I don't maintain this theme.
lol

Dumb question by why not just use custom CSS to not display it rather than hack the code with the resulting pain in the proverbial when upgrading?
For some reason I had to use "!Important" which I think I read somewhere should be avoided but the following seems to work for me on a test site:
#custom_menu_activitystream {display: none !important;}
.... Same thought process ....
On to next menu problem: I've been asked to also modify the menu on the right, the user menu that shows throughout the site and links to grades, forums, profile, etc. The idea is to only leave the links to user preferences and logout and hide the link to Debates, Forum, Calendar and Grades. Can I comment these out? In which file? I'm not sure I can add this question to this thread or if I'm supposed to open a new one?
Cheers

Hi Trine,
The best solution for a site specific bespoke customisation that is resilient to theme updates is a child theme. There is a bare bones template for one called 'essentials' that comes with the theme for you to use or I'd be happy to create one for a fee given a defined list of requirements.
Kind regards,
Gareth
