    Hello,

    I’m using the theme named the producer
    http://premium.themolitor.com/?theme=theproducer

    What I would like to achieve is to get rid of the block named div id=”topPanel” only in the contact page, so that the user can see the form without scrolling.

    I know I can do that with CSS, but I’m interested in a clean solution, which would be by writing a condition. Problem is that I don’t know php so I tried to write a condition in the “page.php” file which does not work. Can someone help me please?

    The code I wrote:

    <?php
    if (is_page( contacto )
    
     // Commercial code redacted by a moderator
    
    }
    ?>

    The safe way would be to create a Child Theme: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes – Then to copy the template file you want to edit and paste it into your Child Theme folder. That way when you make edits to the file those edits won’t be erased when the theme updates.

    What is “contacto” by the way? Is it a PHP constant?

    Also worth looking up the PHP syntax of using IF statements: http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.if.php

    You might find this useful if you can’t spot invalid PHP, or aren’t using an IDE that spots it for you: http://www.piliapp.com/php-syntax-check/

    If you were getting a blank white page and couldn’t see anything informative then contact your hosting providers and ask them to show you your site’s error logs, for more information about the issue.

    Have you seen that Codex article about Conditional Tags? It has good examples: https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#Working_Examples

    so that the user can see the form without scrolling.

    So you’re aiming this change at users on an exact screen size?

    Hello,
    thank´s for your answers, I’ll check the documentation you provided and hope to find the solution.

    Contacto is the name of the page contact, the one I want to customize by removing the div.

    so that the user can see the form without scrolling.

    I mean that, as I will remove the div id=”topPanel”, the user will see directly the contact form located in the next div id=”mainPanel”, no matter the screen size.

    I saw that the code I shared has been cut, so I will write it again with less details. The idea is to display in the contact page the divid=”mainPanel”, and in the others pages both id=”topPanel” and id=”mainPanel”. I’ve wrote this code in the page.php file and a blank page displays (yes I work on child theme):

    <?php
    if (is_page( contacto ){
    ?>
    <div id=”mainPanel”> </div>
    <?php
    }
    ?>
    <?php
    else {
    ?>
    <div id=”topPanel”> </div>
    <div id=”mainPanel”> </div>
    <?php
    }
    ?>

    It still looks like you’re using a constant of “contacto”, doesn’t it need to be a string?
