This will remove the "What's New" navigation tab

Safely
  • No 3nd party modification conflicts
  • No products to import
  • No added database query
  • No CSS issues
  • Easy to carry over in upgrade

Tested on 4.1.7 , 4.1.8, and 4.1.9 beta 1
Tested on default template and custom templates

Why would you want to remove, "What's New?"
  • Save server load
  • Save page load
  • Improve the layout for a more cleaner look
  • Make room on the navigation tab for other modifications
  • Maybe you found a modification that does the same thing, but in a different way

Step 1

Backup your database
------- Something everyone should do no matter what mod, template, or tweak you ever add.

Step 2

In navbar look for the following

Code:
<li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li>

You are going to wrap it around using this:

Code:
<vb:comment>  </vb:comment>

So when done it will look like this:

Code:
<vb:comment> <li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li> </vb:comment>

Step 3

Look for

Code:
<li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li>

You are again going to wrap it around with this

Code:
<vb:comment>  </vb:comment>

So when done it will look like this:

Code:
<vb:comment> <li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li> </vb:comment>

Save and reload

In another browser tab or window, check out the results.
If all is well as it should be.... Congratulation you are done
