I've been trying to look through the forum and use past suggestions but I am hitting a wall!

Our Front page is set to show our latest post in the reading prefs.

What I am trying to do is have something only show up on the first front page, but it is still showing up on everypage

I've tried (likely incorrectly) variations of the following without success

PHP Code:

<?php if ( is_front_page() ) ?>
<?php if ( is_home() AND !is_paged() ) ?>
<?php if ( is_home() ) ?>

If I need to create a static page for this to work, can I create a page that behaves the same as 'your latest post?'

any help would be fantastic!!

Thanks!

It looks like you have not set the home page to be a static page (Your Settings -> Reading -> Front page displays: is set to "Your latest posts")

In that case

PHP Code:

<?php if ( is_home() AND !is_paged() ) ?>

should work. Where did you put that code? It should go into index.php, right after

PHP Code:

<?php get_header(); ?>

You also need to close this conditional statement, so you end up with

PHP Code:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if ( is_home() AND !is_paged() ) { ?>
Stuff to display only on front page
<?php } ?>

You might also want to add a bit of space around the content inside of widgets, now that you've put a border around the widget. You can do that by adding the following to A. Theme Options -> Widgets -> Widget Content Box:

padding: 5px;

Hey Flynn!

Unfortunately I am getting this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' in /raid4/webraid/home/s/sis/1linemedia/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/index.php on line 16

I'm sure this is something simple, but I only know enough PHP to get myself in trouble, any suggestions?

Peter

I just got it

PHP Code:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if ( is_home() AND !is_paged() ) { ?>
Stuff to display only on front page
<?php } ?>

not sure if this is functionally correct, but it works!

Thanks!!!
Peter

Sorry, I left out one { in the code above. Fixed now.
Yes, your code in post #5 is correct.
