   Hi

   I'm not a code/Wordpress expert in the slightest, so apologies if this is in the wrong section, doesn't give you the necessary information etc.

   I'm using a Conditional Tag and the Exec PHP plugin to show an advert only in the sidebar of my homepage. It's the third sidebar item down headed Top Gambling News: http://www.offthepost.info

   For some reason the advert is displaying on a few other pages which it shouldn't be. Some examples:

   http://www.offthepost.info/page/532/?altcast_code=7685ed111a
   http://www.offthepost.info/page/128/?altcast_code=0e50dffb09
   http://www.offthepost.info/page/425/?p=nqytuptfltm
   http://www.offthepost.info/page/59/?p=nqytuptfltm
   http://www.offthepost.info/page/1387/?altcast_code=4967632bdd

   Any ideas why that would be / how to make sure it appears only on the homepage?

   Code below.

   Thanks,

   Rob

   I think you want to use if(is_home()) function, or if(is_home && is_front_page()), depending on how your site is set up.

   If you set a static page for the main page of your site, is_front_page() will return true when viewing that page. Otherwise, it returns the same as is_home() would. is_home() checks if the main page is currently being displayed.

   So if your main page is a blog posts listing and not a page, is_front_page() will return false, even though is_home() returns true.
