# Php if within if problem (is_home function)

 * Hi, I’m trying to figure out how to include a custom php string within WordPress’s
   is_home() function. The catch is I want it to be surrounded by a div.
 * My current setup looks something like this:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_home() ) {
       <div class="unimportant"> if(function_exists('tptn_show_daily_pop_posts')) tptn_show_daily_pop_posts(); </div>
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * but it throws a syntax error. The custom string looks this unmodified:
 *     ```
       <?php if(function_exists('tptn_show_daily_pop_posts')) tptn_show_daily_pop_posts(); ?>.
       ```
   
 * It should look something like this: if is_home: div—tptn_show_daily_pop_posts—/
   div. The solution should be a rather quick one, but I’m having issues with syntax.
 * Thanks in advance for your replies.

 * Try this…
 *     ```
       <?php 
   
       if ( is_home() ) {
           ?><div class="unimportant"><?php
               if(function_exists('tptn_show_daily_pop_posts'))
                   tptn_show_daily_pop_posts();
           ?></div><?php
       }
   
       ?>
       ```
   
 * It’s untested.. but assuming your functions are correct… it should work.

 * Hey Josh, thanks for answering.
 * For some reason the is_home functionality doesn’t work. The tptn_show_daily_pop_posts
   function shows up on all pages.

 * Try using “is_front_page” instead of “is_home”.

 * It still doesn’t work. I’m pretty sure I’m not mixing something up. A previous
   similar is_home function I had in place of this worked.

 * Okay, so let’s try..
 *     ```
       if ( is_home() ) {
           echo 'Testing...';
       }
       ```
   
 * Does that work correctly?

 * Ah I’m sorry Josh. It was my mistake. I forgot to put another part of a code 
   I didn’t post about here within the tags so I was surprised when it showed up
   everywhere. I got it now.
 * Thanks a lot for your time 🙂
