Removing slider from blog also.

Hi,

You will need to put the slider’s code to your theme’s php file using a code like this:

<?php
    if(is_home()|| is_front_page()){
        echo do_shortcode('[smartslider2 slider="1"]');
    }
?>

which will display the slider on the home page only.

However, it is possible that for some reason, the blog page is recognized as home page. You can check it like this:
<?php
var_dump(is_home());
?>
and if the site writes out a “true” value, you could use the home page page id to make the slider only appear there:

<?php
if(get_the_ID()==39){
  echo do_shortcode('[smartslider2 slider="1"]');
}
?>

you can find the page id to your homepage if you look at the url:
wp-admin/post.php?post=39&action=edit
where the 39 is your page id.

Hi Harry,

The where you should put the slider’s code is your theme’s header.php.

If using the is_home() code would still put the slider to your blog page:
The file where you should debug if the blog page is recognized as homepage or not by WordPress is the page.php file of your theme.

If you would like me to help you debug this, feel free to open a support ticket at support@nextendweb.com!

Hi Harry,

Your problem will be that your WordPress is recognizing your blog page as “home” page too, so you should use the home page’s id instead:

<?php
if(get_the_ID()==39){
  echo do_shortcode('[smartslider2 slider="1"]');
}
?>

Just determine your home page id by looking at the URL when you are editing your home page.

Also, you can’t find this code in your page.php:

<?php
var_dump(is_home());
?>

because this is not a code required to create themes, but it is used to debug problems – in our case to determine if the blog page is recognized as home page or not.
