Answered: How can I remove nav_sub_list when setting "questions" as homepage?

Hello teddydoors,

There are two ways of disabling the sub navigation for the 'questions' page:

Method 1: Disable the 'sort' query parameter directly in qa-include/pages/questions.php by replacing this:

$sort = ($countslugs && !QA_ALLOW_UNINDEXED_QUERIES) ? null : qa_get('sort');

with this:

$sort = null;

in line 34; and then the sub-menu by replacing this:

$qa_content'navigation']'sub'] = qa_qs_sub_navigation($sort, $categoryslugs);

with this:

$qa_content'navigation']'sub'] = null;

in line 133; please have a look at 'Step 1' and 'Step 2' in this snippet , which already has these changes in place.

• Pros: Quick and easy way of getting the job done
• Cons: It'll get reverted to its initial form after updating Q2A

Method 2: Avoid modifying Q2A itself by creating a plugin and duplicate the parts you want to adjust into it. 

1. Create a plugin. Here's a great tutorial on how to create plugins.
2. Copy the file I mentioned in Method 1 into 'my_plugin'
3. Override the route 'questions/' in qa_page_routing() so that it loads the duplicate in the plugin, instead of the one in Q2A.
4. Adjust the contend of the duplicate so that you can follow Method 1 in the plugin itself.

• Pros: It'll work after Q2A updates
• Cons: The plugin needs to be updated manually after Q2A updates

Have a nice day.
