Conditional Meta Refresh

    I need to know how to use the meta refresh tag in a conditional sense. I only want the homepage to auto refresh every 5 minutes, but none of the other pages.

    I can get it to refresh everything by using the meta tag as it stands, but I am having trouble making it work on only the homepage.

    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="<?php if ( is_home() ) {
        single_post_title('', true);
    } else {
        bloginfo('name'); echo " - "; bloginfo('description');
    }
    ?>" />
	<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300" >

    Any quick ideas?

    I would think you want the refresh meta tag inside your if statement before your else.

    Hi AJ, thanks and yes. I just don’t know how to write it correctly. I’m hoping someone smarter than me can help me figure it out.

    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="<?php if ( is_home() ) {
        ?><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300" ><?php
        single_post_title('', true);
    } else {
        bloginfo('name'); echo " - "; bloginfo('description');
    }
    ?>" />

    Not sure what you have above this but the last line ?>" />` makes me think you are in the middle of some other html and if that’s that case this may not work.

    I removed the trailing slash, but still no go. Anyone have a better way to do this?
