   Hi all,

   I have a standard blog, and am trying to create ad space that will display ONLY on the first page of posts. Once a user goes to the previous page (/page/2) that ad space will no longer appear.

   I figured I could do a conditional, but for some reason it's not working correctly for me.

   I've tried something like this, to test:
   `<?php if (is_front_page()){ ?>
   <p>Home Page</p>
   <?php else { ?>
   <p>Not Home Page</p>
   <?php } ?>
   ?>'

   I've also tried is_home() instead of is_front_page... neither work. My outcome is that "Home Page" displays on not just the homepage, but also all the previous pages of blog posts.

   Any suggestions? Thanks

   Try:

   <?php if (is_front_page() && !is_paged() ){ ?>
   <p>Home Page</p>
   <?php else { ?>
   <p>Not Home Page</p>
   <?php } ?>
   ?>

   Hi esmi,

   Thanks for your response. Seems like it throws an error when I insert that chunk in my index.php. Could've sworn it didn't break the page yesterday.

   I am inserting it right after the <?php endwhile; ?> tag, but before the <?php else : ?> ... and this is where I get the error, an unexpected T_ELSE.

   I'm sure there's something really straight-forward I am overlooking. Any hints?

   also would it be advisable to do something even simpler, such as:

   <?php if (is_front_page() && !is_paged()) {
   		echo 'blah blah';
   	} endif; ?>

   I tried this and received the same T_ELSE error.

   Thanks again.

   Typo copied over from your original code. Try

   <?php if (is_front_page() && !is_paged() ){ ?>
   <p>Home Page</p>
   <?php else { ?>
   <p>Not Home Page</p>
   <?php } ?>

   Forgot to mention that I found that error and already omitted it. Still getting the same T_ELSE error.

   Here is my index.php, if this helps:

   <?php
   /**
    * @package WordPress
    * @subpackage BlahBlah
    */
   
   get_header(); ?>
   
   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   
   	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   		<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   			<h2><span class="rtfb"><?php if (function_exists('tweetmeme')) echo tweetmeme();?><?php //echo facebook_sharecount(); ?></span><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   			<p class="date"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></p>
   			<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
   
   			<div class="postFooter">
   				<p><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
   			</div><!-- postFooter -->
   		</div><!-- post post post -->
   
   	<?php endwhile; ?>
   
   	<?php SEO_pager() ?>
   
   <?php else : ?>
   
   	<h2>Not Found</h2>
   	<p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
   		<div id="search">
   			<?php get_search_form(); ?>
   		</div><!-- search -->
   
   <?php endif; ?>
   
   </div><!-- contentMain -->
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   I'm trying to insert this if statement between the endwhile and the call to seo_pager.

   Try:

   <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   <?php if( is_front_page() && !is_paged() ) : ?>
   <p>Home Page</p>
   
   <?php else : ?>
   <p>Not Home Page</p>
   
   <?php endif; ?>
   
   <?php SEO_pager() ?>

   After some further testing, I noticed this works on pages and single post pages, but if on the regular timeline and going through previous pages (http://example.com/page/2/, http://example.com/page/3/, etc.), it does not apply.

   Is there a way to get this to apply to previous pages on the timeline?

   Thanks again.

    Just checking in, anyone have ideas on this issue? I feel like it's so straight-forward but I haven't been able to find an answer that works. Thanks.
