Make sure all of your country groups have at least one country.
For example if the 5. group is empty, no shipping will be available for the groups or countries above the 5.

Hi!

I had the same problem! is_home() or is_front_page() did not work in the footer. I figured out it turns FALSE after the query_posts() or get_post() (as BStofko wrote).

So instead of using a variable for this and struggle with GLOBALS I’ve found and used this wordpress function after finishing the query:

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

Works like a charm for me. 🙂

wp_reset_query (line 75)
Destroy the previous query and setup a new query.

This should be used after query_posts() and before another query_posts(). This will remove obscure bugs that occur when the previous wp_query object is not destroyed properly before another is setup.

since: 2.3.0
uses: $wp_query
void wp_reset_query ()
