    Hi, I am new to word press I have been doing a ton of searches and still not get any of the options I have found to work. So I am hoping someone can help me.
    I would like to hide a specific div on all pages expect I want it to show on the home page.

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated here is what I have. 

    <? php function meteor_slideshow() { if (is_front_page() ) { ?>)

<div id="meteor-slideshow">
<?php if (  is_front_page( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow( 

"MainSlideshow"); } ?>
</div><?php
}
} ?>

    CSS:
    #meteor-slideshow {
    background-color: #FFF;
    border: medium solid #000;
    margin-top: 15px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-left: auto;
    width: 930px;
    position: relative;
    padding: 5px;
    }

    I can’t see anything wrong with the above code snippet.

    When I put that in the page.php it gives me this error

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION /page.php on line 16

    any thoughts

    Try:

    <?php function meteor_slideshow();
if (is_front_page() ) :?>
<div id="meteor-slideshow">
<?php if (  is_front_page( 'meteor_slideshow' ) )  meteor_slideshow( "MainSlideshow"); ?>
</div>
<?php endif;?>

    what is the purpose of this line:
    function meteor_slideshow(); ?

    also ‘is_front_page()‘ does not use any parameter;
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_front_page

    you possibly only need to use this code:

    <?php if ( is_front_page() ) : ?>
<div id="meteor-slideshow">
<?php  meteor_slideshow( "MainSlideshow" ); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

    Shoot! Missed that! Perhaps it’s meant to be an if(function_exists('')) conditional?

    <?php if ( is_front_page() ) : ?>

<?php  meteor_slideshow( "MainSlideshow" ); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
