Adding conditional statement

Try removing either the is_home or is_front_page. I would try removing the is_home first.

And change the elseif statement to use “!” not.

Something like this:

<?php 

if ( is_front_page()) { include ('slideshow.php'); }
elseif ( !is_front_page()) { include ('archive.php'); }

?>

Wait, there may be something wrong with that, maybe with the grouping. Test and reply back.

It sounds to me like you want the index.php to use ‘slideshow.php’ for the home or front page, otherwise always use ‘archive.php’. Is that correct? Because you have an elseif in there which is only used to add a possible third outcome. Why not just do:

<?php
   if(is_home() || is_front_page()) include ('slideshow.php');
   else include ('archive.php');
?>

What do you mean by “both pages”? It’s either the home/front page or everything else! Give me an example of the two pages in question. Or possible links?

Ok… well that’s because http://go-parkcity.com/themebuilder/?page_id=30 is acting like your “is_front_page()”. Try this:

<?php
   if(is_home()) include ('slideshow.php');
   else include ('archive.php');
?>

Or if you need to make other pages different too…

<?php
   if(is_home()) include ('slideshow.php');
   elseif(is_front_page()) include ('archive.php');
   else [some other include here]
?>

well, the only other thing that I can think of is to try this:

<?php
   if(is_page(30)) include('archive.php');
   else include('slideshow.php');
?>

This will check that “page_id=30” piece you have and hopefully trigger the response we want!

Under settings->reading do you have a “posts page” selected? You could always try setting that back to “Select”. Unless you are using a specific page as a template?

does the archive.php page have a proper loop set up? I doubt that “page.php” would be trying to show what you see on the blog section. “page.php” is usually used to show “pages”, not “posts”. Since it’s using the right template, and archive.php is being included, there must be something wrong with archive.php. Any chance you could post the code somewhere?

This is typically my index.php files…

<?php
   if(have_posts()) :
      get_header();
      while(have_posts()) :
         the_post();
         the_content();
      endwhile;
      get_footer();
   else :
      header('Location: 404.php');
   endif;
?>

And my blog pages look a lot like yours…
