Removing Sidebar Menu Items, Hooks Not Working?

[hobartimus]

I want to remove the Knowledgebase and Downloads menu items from the client area. I used the webhook for the main nav as described here and it worked fine. However, trying to use these instructions for the sidebar is not working at all.

This is my code:

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $primaryNavbar)
{
    if (!is_null($primaryNavbar->getChild('Support'))) {
        $primaryNavbar->getChild('Support')->removeChild('Knowledgebase');
    }
    
    if (!is_null($primaryNavbar->getChild('Support'))) {
        $primaryNavbar->getChild('Support')->removeChild('Downloads');
    }
});

add_hook('ClientAreaPrimarySidebar', 1, function(MenuItem $primarySidebar)
{
    $primarySidebar->getChild('Support')
        ->removeChild('Knowledgebase');

	$primarySidebar->getChild('Support')
        ->removeChild('Downloads');
});

This is what you need:

 

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondarySidebar', 1, function(MenuItem $secondarySidebar)
{
    $secondarySidebar->getChild('Support')
        ->removeChild('Knowledgebase')
        ->removeChild('Downloads');
        
});

Thank you, but I've tried that and I get this when trying to access the site:

Oops!
Something went wrong and we couldn't process your request.
Please go back to the previous page and try again.

I've tested the hook prior to sharing the code, so there seems to be an issue with your implementation.

I don't know. I have the file located here…

/includes/hooks/remove-items.php

And this is the entire code…

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondarySidebar', 1, function(MenuItem $secondarySidebar)
{
    $secondarySidebar->getChild('Support')
        ->removeChild('Knowledgebase')
        ->removeChild('Downloads');
        
});

 

But, this code works fine for the main nav…

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $primaryNavbar)
{
    if (!is_null($primaryNavbar->getChild('Support'))) {
        $primaryNavbar->getChild('Support')->removeChild('Knowledgebase');
    }
    
    if (!is_null($primaryNavbar->getChild('Support'))) {
        $primaryNavbar->getChild('Support')->removeChild('Downloads');
    }
});

It's not.
On many pages, there's no support sidebar. Trying to access it will throw an exception.
This should work.

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaSecondarySidebar', 1, function(MenuItem $secondarySidebar)
{
    if(!is_null($secondarySidebar->getChild('Support')))
    {
        $secondarySidebar->getChild('Support')
        ->removeChild('Knowledgebase')
        ->removeChild('Downloads');
    }

});

That works! Thank you so much.
