Getting a text link to only appear on homepage

  • I am trying to make a simple text link appear only on the homepage. I have tried many variations of script but just can not get it to stick. I was wondering if anyone knew a solution or what I may be doing wrong. I am trying to hard wire it in the ads,php

    The code is:
    <?php if(is_home() && $post==$posts[0] && !is_paged()) { ?>
    The Link <span style=”color: #000000;”></span>
    <?php } ?>

    are you trying to add a conditional statement to a page template?
    is your home page a static page?

    this information is what i use frequently for conditional statments.

    I guess but am not sure. What I want is for it to only show on the homepage and no other pages. It is just a text link…

    When you go to the homepage I want you to see the link. otherwise, on any other page I do not want it visible. the site is sfbayview,com check the right hand side…

    will you be adding the link to a php template?
    will you be adding the link to a widget?
    there is a large volume of information on the page and I don’t know which item you are referring to.

    my recommendation will be based on where you plan to put the code.

    if you are putting the link in a text widget, you can use JETPACK plugin.
    there is a WIDGET VISIBILITY control in JETPACK. that can help you control where the widget will be diplayed.

    That would be nice. I did not make this theme but that right sidebar is not set up as a widget. You have to manually add code to make anything work…

    I would be adding to ads,php. It is not set up as a widget area. This was created many moons ago and I am not sure why they did not make it a widget area.

    is there a way you can share the code that is in the template controlling the area you want to add the link to?

    Got it working with:

    <?php if( $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] == ‘/’ ) { ?>
    content
    <?php } ?>
