 * Im trying to hack a plugin so that it only initiates on the home page by using
   an ‘is_home()’ conditional statement. It conflicts with a script I am trying 
   to use on post pages. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be working and I don’t
   know why, here is the modified code I have been trying to use:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( is_home() ) {
       function gallery_styles() {
           /* The next lines figures out where the javascripts and images and CSS are installed,
           relative to your wordpress server's root: */
           $gallery_path =  get_bloginfo('wpurl')."/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/";
   
           /* The xhtml header code needed for gallery to work: */
       	$galleryscript = "
       	<!-- begin gallery scripts -->
           <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"".$gallery_path."css/jd.gallery.css.php\" type=\"text/css\" media=\"screen\" charset=\"utf-8\"/>
       	<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"".$gallery_path."css/jd.gallery.css\" type=\"text/css\" media=\"screen\" charset=\"utf-8\"/>
       	<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"".$gallery_path."scripts/mootools.v1.11.js\"></script>
       	<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"".$gallery_path."scripts/jd.gallery.js.php\"></script>
       	<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"".$gallery_path."scripts/jd.gallery.transitions.js\"></script>
       	<!-- end gallery scripts -->\n";
   
       	/* Output $galleryscript as text for our web pages: */
       	echo($galleryscript);
       }
   
       function get_a_post($id='GETPOST') {
       	global $post, $tableposts, $tablepostmeta, $wp_version, $wpdb;
   
       	if($wp_version < 1.5)
       		$table = $tableposts;
       	else
       		$table = $wpdb->posts;
   
       	$now = current_time('mysql');
       	$name_or_id = '';
       	$orderby = 'post_date';
   
       	if( !$id || 'GETPOST' == $id || 'GETRANDOM' == $id ) {
       		if( $wp_version < 2.1 )
       			$query_suffix = "post_status = 'publish'";
       		else
       			$query_suffix = "post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish'";
       	} elseif('GETPAGE' == $id) {
       		if($wp_version < 2.1)
       			$query_suffix = "post_status = 'static'";
       		else
       			$query_suffix = "post_type = 'page' AND post_status = 'publish'";
       	} elseif('GETSTICKY' == $id) {
       		if($wp_version < 1.5)
       			$table .= ', ' . $tablepostmeta;
       		else
       			$table .= ', ' . $wpdb->postmeta;
       		$query_suffix = "ID = post_id AND meta_key = 'sticky' AND meta_value = 1";
       	} else {
       		$query_suffix = "(post_status = 'publish' OR post_status = 'static')";
   
       		if(is_numeric($id)) {
       			$name_or_id = "ID = '$id' AND";
       		} else {
       			$name_or_id = "post_name = '$id' AND";
       		}
       	}
   
       	if('GETRANDOM' == $id)
       		$orderby = 'RAND()';
   
       	$post = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE $name_or_id post_date <= '$now' AND $query_suffix ORDER BY $orderby DESC LIMIT 1");
       	get_post_custom($post->ID);
   
       	if($wp_version < 1.5)
       		start_wp();
       	else
       		setup_postdata($post);
       }
   
       /* we want to add the above xhtml to the header of our pages: */
       add_action('wp_head', 'gallery_styles');
       add_action('admin_menu', 'gallery_options_page');
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Im not an experienced developer so I am sure my problem is probably pretty simple…
   Any ideas?
