   I can't seem to find any documentation on the is_single() function. Could anyone point me in the general direction of a noob guide to is_single() please?

   This is a new function in Wordpress 1.3, and doesn't really have any documentation that I know of.
   But I can give you the quick and dirty version:
   is_single() returns TRUE if the current page being shown is an individual entry page.
   You can use this in a conditional to display certain stuff only on a "single" page, or to omit certain stuff on a "single" page.
   Here are some of the other "is_X" functions:
   is_404()
   is_archive()
   is_author()
   is_category()
   is_date()
   is_day()
   is_feed()
   is_home()
   is_month()
   is_new_day()
   is_page()
   is_search()
   is_single()
   is_time()
   is_year()
   If you visit my blog at http://txfx.net/ and browse around, look at the source... down at the very bottom of the source I've echoed out the result of each of those.

   Any idea what would stop the is_single() function from working out of the blue? Mine completely fails to detect when a page is a single page all of a sudden. I've deactivated all my plugins and don't know what else to try.

   Basically, anything I put in a conditional if is_single() fails to execute on single pages...?

   Very confused...
