I would like a block of text under my header and above my posts to only appear on the homepage. Currently I have the text inserted in my templates index.php, so it appears on every page. How can I get the block of text to only appear on the homepage and nothing else? I am running Wordpress 1.5.1 and FastTrack theme. My blog is located at http://www.zachkarst.com/wp. I have searched on Google and the Wordpress forums but can't find a solution to my problem. All I have found is a plugin that will make a full static homepage. All help would be greatly appreciated.

Posted 4 years ago #Well, putting
<?php if ( is_home() ) { ?> <?php } ?>
around the block of text keeps it off of archives and things, but it'll show on the subpages of main pageEdit Oh yeah, using
if (is_home() and !is_paged())works by not showing the text on subpages, if you want that -
Posted 4 years ago #Thank you for the code, I used it and it does keep the text off the archive pages. I still would like to have the block of text only appear on the homepage. If anyone else could help me out please post, so I can get this matter solved. I know everyone here is very knowledgeable so it won't be too hard. Thank You.

Posted 4 years ago #Did you try this
<?php if ( is_home() and !is_paged() ) { ?> <?php } ?>?Or where is it showing where it's not supposed to?

Posted 4 years ago #I just tried <?php if ( is_home() and !is_paged() ) { ?> <?php } ?>. It doesn't work for me. The text is stil showing on my pages. It doesn't show up in the archives, but the text shows up everywhere else.

if(empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) -

Posted 4 years ago #<?php if(empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { ?><?php } ?>It replaces the
if ( is_home() and !is_paged() ) -
Posted 4 years ago #The <?php if(empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { ?>
<?php } ?> code does not work. The text is still showing up on my pages.

You might have done it wrongly.

Posted 4 years ago #Do you have a separate page template (page.php)? Or are you doing everything with index.php?
-
Posted 4 years ago #I am doing everything with index.php. I do not have a seperate page.php file in my template.

Posted 4 years ago #Well... I don't know why the code keeps showing on pages, but what if you added
and !is_page()to the list of is functions? I'm running out of ideas -
Posted 4 years ago #I'd follow alphaoide's suggestion and post your source at the pastebin so we can take a look.

Posted 4 years ago #ok, sorry I didn't see that post from alphaoide.
EDIT: link to my code is http://pastebin.com/288120

Posted 4 years ago #You need to put that intro text between the
<?php if(empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { ?>and<?php } ?>.
So the block of text goes where the word "and" is in the previous sentence :) -
Posted 4 years ago #There's nothing between the
<?php if(empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { ?>and the
<?php } ?>What text in your index.php do you want to display only on the home page? I assume it's the welcome message, so surround that with the PHP above. Place the:
<?php if(empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { ?>before the start of your text, and
<?php } ?>just after it ends.

Only if you've been programming in PHP for a while. Otherwise it was just a mistake.
