Only on the index page

  • I have stuff i want to show up on the index page of my blog (on the index template) i only want it to show up the first page but not on other pages further on. How do i get it to only show up on the main page?

  • Use the templates for all other pages, like the single page and archive page in the default theme, would be the easiest solution. Or use a conditional for is_home() if not.

    Look around this page for all of your conditional needs:

    I still don’t understand all this stuff lol…ill have to play around alot

    If you look in the default theme directory you should see “single.php” and “archive.php” – with those templates present they will display and not “index.php” when selecting a single post or archive (both off the front page).

    If you wanted to go the other route, the conditional would go in the index page with something like this:
    <?php if (is_home()) { ?>
    blah blah blah
    <?php } ?>

    I’d recommend reading the instructions in the codex.

    thanks that worked ?? im really new to php and all

    Then the codex is the place you wanna be … but no swimming pools or movie stars.

    Also note, that you can define a home.php template, that is ONLY loaded as the “home” page, then index.php becomes a catch-all, if the other templates are not loaded.
