Conditional Tag for calling Sidebar

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

Where do I place that tag? And do I place the get sidebar tag inside of it?

I’m having a hard time with this is well. Where do these conditional tags go? I get nothing but errors.

I’ve been trying to paste this:
<?php if(is_category() || is_archive()) {
the_excerpt();
} else {
the_content();
} ?>

which I took from the codex, into my index.php page. I have been placing it where the <?php the_content(__(‘(more…)’)); ?> was. I get errors every time. What am I doing wrong?

1. What are the errors you get?

2. So we can get a better look at things, paste your template code here:

and reply back with the url to the paste-up.

odd, I went to get the error again and now it’s working. Not sure what is different, but I’m gonna go with it for now. Thanks.

I am also looking fro the same solution. Somebody help!
