Php if within if problem (is_home function)

    Hi, I’m trying to figure out how to include a custom php string within WordPress’s is_home() function. The catch is I want it to be surrounded by a div.

    My current setup looks something like this:

    <?php if ( is_home() ) {
<div class="unimportant"> if(function_exists('tptn_show_daily_pop_posts')) tptn_show_daily_pop_posts(); </div>
}
?>

    but it throws a syntax error. The custom string looks this unmodified:

    <?php if(function_exists('tptn_show_daily_pop_posts')) tptn_show_daily_pop_posts(); ?>.

    It should look something like this: if is_home: div—tptn_show_daily_pop_posts—/div. The solution should be a rather quick one, but I’m having issues with syntax.

    Thanks in advance for your replies.

    Try this…

    <?php 

if ( is_home() ) {
    ?><div class="unimportant"><?php
        if(function_exists('tptn_show_daily_pop_posts'))
            tptn_show_daily_pop_posts();
    ?></div><?php
}

?>

    It’s untested.. but assuming your functions are correct… it should work.

    Hey Josh, thanks for answering.

    For some reason the is_home functionality doesn’t work. The tptn_show_daily_pop_posts function shows up on all pages.

    Try using “is_front_page” instead of “is_home”.

    It still doesn’t work. I’m pretty sure I’m not mixing something up. A previous similar is_home function I had in place of this worked.

    Okay, so let’s try..

    if ( is_home() ) {
    echo 'Testing...';
}

    Does that work correctly?

    Ah I’m sorry Josh. It was my mistake. I forgot to put another part of a code I didn’t post about here within the tags so I was surprised when it showed up everywhere. I got it now.

    Thanks a lot for your time 🙂
