It is possible hide navigation for previous/next section/page?

[michalzobec]

Hello,

thank you for your work, I working on documentation portal, and your web generator template is great. I have little problem with your navigation for previous/next section or page ... it is possible hide it? I want completelly hide/off this feature.

I do not know if name "section" is correct, I mean navigation at down of page where you can go to next section or page, or back.

for example here in your documentation https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/setup/extensions/python-markdown-extensions/

thank you for your help.

Yes, of course! The easiest way is to use additional CSS:

.md-footer__inner {
  display: none;
}

hello, thank you, but it is not help ...

I use version mkdocs-material-7.0.0b2.

URL is: https://pomoc2.zobecdev.cz/microsoft-365-43a5/

[squidfunk]

In that case:

.md-footer-nav {
  display: none;
}

[michalzobec]

.md-footer-nav { display: none; }

yes! this it work! :) thank you very much :)

With the release of 8.3.0 which added the support for per-page footer navigation hiding, it seems this has deprecated, is there a new way to hide the footer navigation globally? I am still new to CSS so can't seem to find a way myself.

Hello @McDic,
since version 9.0.0 of mkdocs-material the back and next page buttons are disabled by default, so CSS shouldn't be necessary:
https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/setup/setting-up-the-footer/#navigation

What do you want to achieve? Also just to make sure the extra_css path shouldn't include the actual docs/ root directory.

Oh! I am using built-in blog plugin so that plugin is probably enabling the back and next page buttons by default. I wanted to manipulate "next page" and "prev page" buttons for any of followings;

• Disable it
• Make it navigate to the previous/next article in same category

At least now I can disable it by including extra_css in mkdocs.yml, that was my fault.

Thank for your team for providing very nice blogging tool for lazy people like me. mkdocs and mkdocs-materials are very helpful!!

You added the navigation.footer prev and next buttons 4 hours ago McDic/BlogV2@7c2c5d0 @McDic. I don't think that blog changes it in any way.

Disable it

They should be disabled by default without navigation.footer as linked above.

Make it navigate to the previous/next article in same category

Changing to what the prev and next buttons point to and limiting them to operate in categories only would be difficult.
You would have to create a hook and patch the internals of the blog plugin. To be honest I'm not sure how well it would work out 🤔

	page.next_page = head

I see. I think I added navigation.footer because I wanted to include social links and copyright notice at the bottom of the blog. I guess internal plugin hack would be a difficult stuff for me now, but when I have some chance I will look at it. Thanks!

I did this!
