programmatically use if_front_page in a plugin

is_front_page()

edit: nvm, your spelling error is just in the title.

you’re calling it before your sites being loaded basically. where are you putting this?

Hello David,

I am using this in a plugin that loads some jquery code for a slider, it would be helpful to have is_front_page to prevent the code appearing on every page but the home page

within that plugin

if ( is_front_page() ) { ... }

can’t be called at say, wrapped around the entire plugin, it’s best to put it before it outputs, like in a hook or filter where the plugin tries to output.. I don’t know what the code of the plugin looks like, but I imagine it’s something like i.e.:

add_action('the_content','add_slideshow');
function add_slideshow() {
  if ( is_front_page() ) {
    ..
  }
}

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you

add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, array( ‘mytheme_slider_Widget_Loader’, ‘load’ ) );

so yes, plugins_loaded is too early of a hook for a is_front_page() argument.

try init or wp hooks. I can’t guarantee they’ll work, as I’m not sure what mytheme_slider_Widget_Loader needs/does/etc.

add_action( 'init', array( 'mytheme_slider_Widget_Loader', 'load' ) );
//or
add_action( 'wp', array( 'mytheme_slider_Widget_Loader', 'load' ) );

Hello David,

‘wp’ worked like a brilliantly, so I can now place CSS and JS hooks
only on the homepage. Thanks for your help

add_action( 'wp', 'mytheme_carousel_add_frontend' );
function mytheme_carousel_add_frontend()
{
if(is_front_page() || is_home())
{
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mytheme_add_carousel_core_css',1 );
add_action('wp_footer', 'mytheme_add_carousel_options_content' ,20);
}
}

I forgot where I got this from but it’s a list of hooks, in fire order. My IDE has a shortcut for referencing this list so I can quickly know where to add certain actions.
