    Hello,
    I am writing a plugin, and I want to check whether the home page is being shown.
    I tried is_home() function within my plugin but that function doesnt return anything.
    Can anybody please tell me how I can check if the home page is displayed?

    cheers

    i did some testing, and wordpress behaves rather weird:
    Here is my theme/index.php

    get_header(); ?>
<div id="data">
<?php echo "home:". is_home();?>
<?php
if(is_home())
{
  query_posts('category_name=Main');
  if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  <div class="item">
  <h2 class="item"><?php the_title(); ?> (<?php echo the_time("j.n.Y H:i");?>)</h2>
  <?php
  the_content();?>
  </div>
  <?php
  endwhile; endif;
}
?>
<?php echo "home:". is_home();?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    When showing the front page, the first occurence of is_home() returns 1 whereas the second one returns nothing.
    Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?
    thanks

    The thing is I want to use is_home function in the footer, and it never works there.
