   Hey guys,
   I'm using conditional statements in my theme. I'm trying to check if it is not a home page or a single post.

   if (!is_home()) Works great to say if it is not the home page.

   I tried if (!is_home() || !is_single()) but I can't get that to work. I need to say if it is not the home page or a single post.
   Any ideas?
   Any help is appreciated.
   Thanks

   You want to use:
   if ( !is_home() && !is_single() )

   the "!" part means "not".
   so try this:
   if (!is_home() || is_single())
   This means: if it's not the home page or if it's a single post.

   Memories of my college logic course!
   Are you testing that it is not a home page and it is not a single post?
   The coding becomes clearer when you first word it that way.
   Being a newcomer to WP, templates, html and PHP I don't know those coding conventions but that's how I approached that logic in earlier languages.

   Thanks a ton Curtiss Grymala, that was it.
   Just to clear it up, yes I'm testing that it is not the home page and not a single post. The code that worked it:
   if ( !is_home() && !is_single() )
