   Hello,
   I am writing a plugin, and I want to check whether the home page is being shown.
   I tried is_home() function within my plugin but that function doesnt return anything.
   Can anybody please tell me how I can check if the home page is displayed?

   cheers

   i did some testing, and wordpress behaves rather weird:
   Here is my theme/index.php
   

   get_header(); ?>
   <div id="data">
   <?php echo "home:". is_home();?>
   <?php
   if(is_home())
   {
     query_posts('category_name=Main');
     if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
     <div class="item">
     <h2 class="item"><?php the_title(); ?> (<?php echo the_time("j.n.Y H:i");?>)</h2>
     <?php
     the_content();?>
     </div>
     <?php
     endwhile; endif;
   }
   ?>
   <?php echo "home:". is_home();?>
   </div>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   When showing the front page, the first occurence of is_home() returns 1 whereas the second one returns nothing.
   Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?
   thanks

   The thing is I want to use is_home function in the footer, and it never works there.
