XF 2.2 Disable 'What's new' page & remove bolt icon from mobile nav bar?

[Vercingetorix]

Is it possible to disable the 'What's new' page entirely and also remove the nav bar 'What's new' bolt icon from mobile view?

So far I have already removed the bolt icon from desktop view using a template edit provided by a very helpful XF community member, however unfortunately the bolt icon still appears on mobile.

Thanks

Are you template editing on default template?

On a default style? Yessir.

You could just disable it in ACP > Setup . Public navigation

Yeah I think disabling public navigation settings only disables the nav bar items, excluding the 'What's new'-bolt icon.


Actually disabled everything in public navigation over a week ago too.

There is also the actual widget setting in ACP > Appearance > check your settings

Would it need to be deleted?

I've removed this particular widget and most of the stock widgets nearly two weeks ago.(*they're all in "No position")

I wouldn't delete it when you just unselect it.

I'm wondering why you don't want any sort of what's new? It's very configurable. I only show What's new for certain forums and none of the profile status stuff.

I just removed this from template PAGE_CONTAINER

<a href="{{ link('whats-new') }}"
                        class="p-navgroup-link p-navgroup-link--iconic p-navgroup-link--whatsnew"
                        aria-label="{{ phrase('whats_new')|for_attr }}"
                        title="{{ phrase('whats_new')|for_attr }}">
                        <i aria-hidden="true"></i>
                        <span class="p-navgroup-linkText">{{ phrase('whats_new') }}</span>
                    </a>

Oh, of course you're right, it certainly does have usefulness for some, or perhaps rather for most fora, and I can appreciate what you're suggesting.

However, as for why I'm wanting to discard it entirely.
The short answer is just that it's not needed.

Thanks Andy.

I had a look at this one yesterday in another thread here, although unfortunately I'm wanting to completely disable the entire lot.
