Its intended.
is_home refers to very first page that is displayed “BY DEFAULT”. That means, if you changed the home page to display a static page, is_home returns false.
Silliness, I know.
As a substitution, use compare bloginfo(‘url’) with the current url to find out if it is the front page.
I believe a is_frontpage() will come out in 2.4… or hopefully anyway.
Ah, that is a little silliness, but not what is going on in my situation (I think).
I am not using the Options->Reading pane to set a static home page and the blog page. I have a home.php in my theme that is used to render the home page (with no blog entries). I then have a WP Page called Blog with its own template to render blog entries. I simply put links to it in my header.php.
So is_home() returns true when home.php is rendered AND true when the blog page is rendered. My problem isn’t that when home.php is rendered that is_home is true, but rather the page I use to display blog entries. So right now I have to have check to see if I am on the home page and not on the blog page to get the “active” page to show properly in my header.
I’m having a similar issue — I can’t get WP to recognize my true home page. Comparing the url of the current page with bloginfo(‘url’) will work for me. Problem is, I don’t know how to retrieve the url of the current page. Any ideas? Thanks.
i m facing this prob too
if is themes isu then u have to work more
<php if(is_page() || (is_category() || is_single() ) { } ?>
this maybe help in a mean while.
