   I have a small div section that shows category and date posted. I want this to be present on main pages, post pages, category pages, etc. but not on Pages. I know there are conditional tags, but they seem to only be good for showing content on Pages, not for showing something on everything EXCEPT Pages. Am I missing something? Is there something like "if Pages, then DON'T show this content"? Thanks so much for the help!

   You can make a Page Template for your WordPress Pages and that will solve your problem.

   Cheers,

   You can use the ! mark in PHP to evaluate a negative.

   <?php if (!is_page()) { echo "not a page"; } ?>

   ok, i don't understand how to enclose the div section with the php command mentioned by ming above.

   so say i have a <div class="metal">Example Content to be seen only by pages</div>, what would the complete code look like with the ! php above?

   Thanks again!

   <?php if (is_Page()) { ?>
Content for pages only goes here
<?php } ?>

   I don't know why you wouldn't just create a page template instead, it's much easier.

   Good luck,
   Michael.

   Thanks so much for the help Michael and Ming. A page template is probably a better long-term solution, but I just needed a quick solution to exclude a small part of my content from Pages.

   For future users, here is how to include a section on everything except Pages (note exclamation point):
   <?php if (!is_Page()) { ?>
   Content for pages only goes here
   <?php } ?>
