    I want to display the page name on pages other than the Home page. As a beginning test with page.php, I put this code in place of the line that displays the page name. This code is supposed to display a string of x’s on the Home page only. It doesn’t display the x’s on any page. I’m new to php syntax.

    <?php if (is_home()) { ?>
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    <?php } ?>

  • According to Conditional_Tags, is_home returns true when the main blog page (usually displayed by index.php) is being displayed. Your page.php would not qualify as true.

    That’s certainly true but I still don’t get why.

    Anyway, this worked:

    is_page(‘Home’)
