 * Hey guys,
    I’m using conditional statements in my theme. I’m trying to check 
   if it is not a home page or a single post.
 * `if (!is_home())` Works great to say if it is not the home page.
 * I tried `if (!is_home() || !is_single())` but I can’t get that to work. I need
   to say if it is not the home page or a single post.
    Any ideas? Any help is appreciated.
   Thanks

 * You want to use:
    `if ( !is_home() && !is_single() )`

 * the “!” part means “not”.
    so try this: `if (!is_home() || is_single())` This
   means: if it’s not the home page or if it’s a single post.

 * Memories of my college logic course!
    Are you testing that it is not a home page
   and it is not a single post? The coding becomes clearer when you first word it
   that way. Being a newcomer to WP, templates, html and PHP I don’t know those 
   coding conventions but that’s how I approached that logic in earlier languages.

 * Thanks a ton Curtiss Grymala, that was it.
    Just to clear it up, yes I’m testing
   that it is not the home page and not a single post. The code that worked it: `
   if ( !is_home() && !is_single() )`
