   Edit: I just realized that I probably put this in the wrong forum. Move if necessary. Sorry.

   OK, so I have it so that there is two advertisements in my sidebar, however, I only want them both to show up on the home page, then when someone visits a single post of another page, only the first advertisement shows and the second one goes away.

   I have this code in my sidebar:

   <?php if (!( is_home() )) { ?>
   
               		<?php include('ad_side2.php'); ?>
   
               		<?php } ?>

   However, it seems to have the opposite effect. The site is www.think-theory.com. You can see on the home page that only the first ad shows up and not the second. Then, if you go to a post, like this one: www.think-theory.com/unreal-tournament-3/, both show up.

   So, it's doing the opposite of what I want. Does anyone know how I can switch this?

   Any help is greatly appreciated.

   Not sure if this will really make a difference, but try:

   <?php if (!is_home()) {
           include('ad_side2.php');
             } ?>

   The difference being I removed your parenthesis inbetween the exlamation and is_home. Give it a shot, not sure if it will change anything though.

   hi, advertising my own plugin here, but if you use Widget Logic (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/) you could use two generic widgets (say the usual text widgets) and specify logic to show the widgets when:

   is_home() || is_single()
   for one and
   is_home()
   for the other

   It's because you are doing it the opposite way!!!

   <?php if(is_home()){include('ad_side2.php');} ?>

   { simplified the code for you }

   Oh, I see. It's the '!' that was saying that if it is not home, show the second ad, otherwise, don't show it.

   Thank you. All fixed now.

   What if I would like the opposite effect? I would like ads on all pages except for is_home? I am a php newb so just the basics?

   <?php if ( is_home() ) { ?> - if home then...whatever.

   What is the opposite of this statement?

   <?php if (!is_home() ) { ?>

   Is it the above?

   Thanks.

   Samsara, yes
   

   <?php if(!is_home()){
      code to be displayed
      }
   ?>

   would mean if it's "not home" then display the "code to be displayed"

   This is the perfect code:

   <?php if (is_home()) {
   ?>
   Advertisement code which is displayed on homepage only
   <?php
   }
   ?>

   Replace home with single to display ad on single page only.
   Cheers :D
