Problems with is_home() and is_single()

I am having the same problem. But, with is_home() and is_front_page(), both of which are returning true in my sidebar.php file. Oddly enough, the is_home() functions properly in a nav.php file (for classing the link as current).

Cannot figure out what is up. I am using the latest version of WP 2.7

Here is the code I am using to limit the blogroll to appear only on the home page:

<pre><code><?php if( is_front_page() ) :?>
      <li class="widget">
         <h3>Blogroll</h3>
         <ul>
        <?php  wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&categorize=0'); ?>
         </ul>
      </li>
<?php endif; ?>

The blogroll is appearing on every page.

I’m having the same problem with is_single in my sidebar.php … did you figure out a fix?
