Only show sidebar on home page?

I have searched for this believe it or not, maybe I’m using the wrong search terms but I can’t seem to find a way round this.

edit your sidebar.php file, found in the theme files in the /wp-content/themes/{theme-name} folder

put this as the first line:
<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>

and this as the last line:
<?php } ?>

That will cause the sidebar contents to only display on your home page.

Thanks!

Is there a way to achieve the opposite? I.e. the sidebar showing up on every page EXCEPT the home page?

Just add an ” ! “(it means not) in front of is_front_page() function like this :
<?php if ( !is_front_page() ) { ?>
your code here ….
<?php } ?>

or just use else like this :
<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>
stuff that is displayed only on front page

<?php }
else {
 ?>

other stuff that is displayed on other pages
<?php }?>
