    Hey, I am making a theme and I want to show a div element with some text followed by a list of blog posts, BUT I only want it to show the div on page one. So, if they choose next page at the bottom to see more blog posts, the div will not be visible.

    I know that it must be a simple PHP if statement, however I am new to WordPress blog making and PHP. Please write everything out. Thank you very much!!!

  • <?php if( !is_paged() ) { ?>
<div> what ever </div>
</php } ?>

    meaning: if it is not paged, then show the div

    when I type that, it shows this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in …/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mousejunkies/home.php on line 36

    line 36 is the last line of code

    Here is what I have as my code for home.php:


    <?php get_header(); ?>

    <div id="wrap">
    <div id="content">

    <?php if( !is_paged() ) { ?>
    <div class="page" id="homeTop">
    HERE IS THE DIV
    </div>
    </php } ?>

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    <div class="post">
    <h1 class="postTitle">"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
    <small class="postMeta">On <?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?> in <?php the_category(', '); ?></small>
    <p class="postExcerpt"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
    <p class="postMore">">Continue Reading</p>
    </div> <!-- END POST -->

    <?php endwhile; ?>

    <?php wp_pagenavi(); ?>

    <?php else : ?>
    <h1>Nothing Found</h1>
    <p>Sorry, but what you are looking for has not been found, try searching for it.</p>
    <?php endif; ?>

    </div> <!-- END CONTENT -->

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    my typo; needs to be a proper php tag in the last line :-(:

    corrected:

    <?php if( !is_paged() ) { ?>
<div> what ever </div>
<?php } ?>
