Possible to disable a hook on specific blog posts?

Example: I have a hook set up to insert a related blog posts list, and an email subscription form at the bottom of all my blog posts content area. For conversion reasons, I'd like to disable this for a few specific blog posts so that I can direct reader actions to just one thing on the page, ergo less distraction. I don't see any functionality in the blog post controls to disable a hook, just to disable certain sidebars or adjust template settings. Any suggestions on how to implement this? I toyed with moving the lists and forms to a sidebar element and have that display below the content area, but sidebar widgets don't like php.

I think you can hide your related blog posts list and e-mail subscription form on certain pages using CSS. If you post a link to a specific post where you do not want the related blog posts list to appear, I can give you an example of what CSS to use for hiding it and that same CSS can be applied to other pages where you want the list + subscription form to hide.

Yes, that would be helpful, please

Can you post a link to a post where you want the blog posts list to hide?

Sure, any blog post on my website would be a potential candidate. Example: http://naturallyengineered.com/blog/what-is-the-paleo-diet/ Thanks

I hope you can figure this one out, catrina. The only thing I can hide using CSS is the actual email subscribe field.

I took care of it. I had not really thought about using CSS before, but after you mention it, it makes a lot of sense. I went ahead and wrapped the contents of that hook with a div, and just gave it a unique ID. Then, I installed the Art Direction WP plugin which makes it easy to add embedded styles to specific blog posts. I added a style for display:none for the div inside the hook, problem solved. Thanks!

That's great! Glad you got it figured out. :)
