Default Hook Usage in Thesis

This document is deprecated! The information on this page refers to a Thesis version that is now obsolete. Please visit the Thesis Docs for current documentation.

In its default state, Thesis hooks quite a few elements into place. This provides for easy and effective customization in the form of adding, deleting, or moving these “hooked” elements around the theme via the Thesis hook system.

Occasionally, you may need to un-hook (or remove) one or more of these elements, and you’ll need to know which hook to target in order to get your desired result. The following list details these default elements and their associated hooks1:

Thesis nav menu
This is the page-based navigation menu that contains your “home” link.

  • thesis_nav_menu function
  • thesis_hook_before_header hook
Header
By default, the header contains your site title and tagline, and it appears directly beneath your nav menu.

  • thesis_default_header function
  • thesis_hook_header hook
Post tags
This is a simple list of the tags associated with a particular post. You can control its visibility in the Thesis Options panel, and you can change its location by moving it to a different hook.

  • thesis_post_tags function
  • thesis_hook_after_post hook
Comments link
This is the “{ 2 comments }” text that appears after each post on index and archive pages.
