   Hey all,
   Trying to add a shortcode for FB comments in the footer on 1 page only, i.e. the "Home" page.
   I can add the shortcode no problem:echo do_shortcode('[fbcomments]');
   But I want to isolate this to the home page footer.
   I've been mucking around with various CSS approaches to no avail (like trying to hide the DIV, class, etc.), so now I am trying a PHP approach, but the only prob with that is I don't know PHP. But here is what I am "thinking" is the overall idea:
   

   <div id="facebookComments" class="facebookComments2">
   	<?php
   	if ( $thePostID = 12 )
   	echo do_shortcode('[fbcomments]');
   	?>
   </div>

   Any suggestions/ideas? greatly appreciated. Am I an idiot for even attempting this? (Don't worry, U won't hurt my feelings).
   Cheers,
   Kevin

   Figured it out,, yea :) Sometimes I just don't know what to google for, but I woke up this morning, and it popped into my brain, I want to do a conditional statement. SO (maybe not prettiest code, but works):
   

   <?php if ( is_page('12') ) {
         echo do_shortcode('[fbcomments]');
         } else {
         }	 ?>

   where the #12 is, is the page ID. It can also be the page title, slug, etc... Turns out there are a bunch of possibilities
   I came across this article that explained it well & simply enough that I was able to accomplish what I wanted, FB comments in the footer, on the home page only!!! :)
