How do I remove "sign in" on the homepage in the top right section of Journal theme?

Would appreciate any suggestions!

If you don’t want sign ins at all, go into Settings > Membership and turn off the option within Portal. (That’ll cause most well behaved themes not to show sign-in and membership buttons.) If you want sign-ins but don’t want that button to show up, please link the site - there’s almost certainly a code injection solution to hide it.

Thanks, Cathy. I’d like to remove the “sign-in” button from the top right section only. I still want readers to be able to sign-in from the comments section on individual posts.

I’m using the Journal theme: Journal

I’d try this in code injection:

<style>
.gh-head-members { display: none!important }
</style>

Or to get just the sign in (not the button next to it):

a.gh-head-link.gh-portal-close[data-portal="signin"] {
display: none!important;
}

Thanks again, Cathy! The second one (removing just the sign in button) resolved it. Thank you!

Hello,
I’d also like to remove the “Sign-in” button from the top right section only. I still want readers to be able to sign in for Newsletter from other sections.

I’m using the Edition theme: Edition
I tried different combinations of this code snippet, but the solution doesn’t work for me, or I’m doing something wrong.

Would appreciate any help!

I’m guessing that I need to do some changes in code injection cause of the different theme. But I don’t have a clue how to do it…

This code paste in Code injection → Footer

<script>
        // Check that we're on homepage.
        if (window.location.pathname === '/') {
            // Find elements to delete
            var signInLink = document.querySelector('a[data-portal="signin"]');
            // remove it if exists
            if (signInLink) {
                signInLink.parentNode.removeChild(signInLink);
            }
        }
    </script>

I am using the Ruby template.
I want to remove both the “sign in” and the “subscribe” buttons from the top header.
I want to keep the floating “subscribe” button lower right corner.

What is the correct code injection to address this?

Hi Cathy,

This first option worked for me by removing the sign up from the header on the homepage. However, is there a way to remove the “Already a member? Sign in” from the subscribe popup window?

I am using the Casper Theme.

Thank you,

Ian

The subscribe popup is Portal, which is a separate React app. Code injection doesn’t get into it, since it’s in an iframe.

But… I do wonder. If you did remove the “sign in” link, how will someone who already has an account get signed into it? Say they clear their cookies, or switch browsers, or are on their tablet or something?

Also, a heads up to everyone: The Portal button (floating button in lower right corner) does NOT render on mobile. [This changed about a year ago.] If you suppress all other subscribe/sign-up buttons, you’ll make it impossible for phone users to sign up.

If you want the floating button back on mobile, here’s how: Where'd my Portal go?
