How do I remove "edit primary links" from bluemarine theme for anonymous users

You either need to edit the theme css or the page template... I can't remember which one at the moment, sorry.

"Edit primary links" is only displaying because you have not entered any primary links.

If you don't plan to add any primary links, you can disable the menu by going to administer >> menus (under Drupal 4.7). On versions before 4.7, you can disable the message by going to administer >> themes >> configure and unchecking the "show primary links" box.

If you DO plan to add primary links at a later time, you can always add them and re-enable the menu. As long as at least one primary link is entered, no one will get the "Edit primary links" message.

If you want to add primary links but hide them from anonymous users, then and only then will you need to edit your template files.

you can log in to adminter click on themes in that click on configure and then disable in toggle display primary and secondary links

I even deleted the menu item but the link still showed up.

I had to edit page.tpl.php to get rid of it.

this worked for me:
Administer -> Settings -> Menus
Menu containing primary links:
No Primary Links

I upgraded to 4.7. I played around with the menues and the blocks and wanted to get rid of the 'edit primary links'. Now I have no primary nor secondary links in both admin > blocks and admin > menues. Still I have the 'edit primary links' on the top of bluemarine. I wonder how to get rid of it or how to recover the primary and secondary links if I want them back.

Go to:

Home » administer » settings » menus.

look for "Menu containing primary links:"

set to No primary links

These tips don't help sites that do want primary links, but also want content accessible only to authenticated users. The only way to make the "edit primary links" disappear would be to add at least one menu item linking to an external site -- this would still show up for anonymous users. Or edit the theme to add some logic e.g.

  <?php if (count($primary_links) && $GLOBALS['user']->uid) : ?>
    <ul id="primary">
      <?php foreach ($primary_links as $link): ?>
        <li><?php print $link?></li>
      <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>
  <?php endif; ?>

Marked as "by design" I guess because people had trouble imagining a scenario where a site *does* want primary links for the users, but *does not* allow anonymous users to "access content".

Thanks for the posts; here's how I eventually got it. For 4.7, in page.tpl.php, I surrounded the primarly and secondary links (and the search box) with the following conditional requirement (the first and last lines), and now they are visible only for authenticated users.

There probably is some preferred way of making a function call in template.php, but I don't know how to do this, yet.

<?php if ($GLOBALS['user']->uid) { ?>
  <?php if (isset($secondary_links)) { ?><div id="secondary"><?php print theme('links', $secondary_links) ?></div><?php } ?>
  <?php if (isset($primary_links)) { ?><div id="primary"><?php print theme('links', $primary_links) ?></div><?php } ?>
  <?php print $search_box ?>
<?php } ?>

I had the same problem, fixed it today.

Do like this:

1. Go to "administer"
2."settings"
3."menus"
4."Menu containing primary links:"
5.Scroll down and click on - "No primary links"
6. Problem solved!
