Using an if statement to make functions work on only one page.

  • Hi all,

    I’m trying to make a theme function work on only the (static) home page.

    I’ve tryed this:

    if (is_front_page()) {
	add_streched_background(array(
		'background' => 'http:...jpg',
		'shuffle' => 'yes',
		'nextSlideDelay' => '12000'
)); }

    But that breaks the plugin. Any other suggestions?

    Thanks!

    how does the breaking of the plugin show?

    Hey alchymyth,

    Thanks for writing!

    It’s for the background stretcher plugin which uses jquery.
    I plugged the above code directly in the theme functions code (functions.php) the code works correctly without the if statement.

    When I add the if statement, I don’t receive any error, the background images just don’t show up, I tryed “is_page();” also just to make sure
    I wasn’t targeting the wrong page. I also tried reseting the query with:
    wp_reset_query();. No luck ??

    I’ve currently hacked a way to do it by removing “get_header” from page.php, and manually including all the info in header.php except for: <?php wp_head(); ?>, which is what was pulling in the plugin.
    This of course is a sloppy solution, that I’m not comfortable with, but since I’m new at WP I don’t really see any other solution since the if statement doesn’t work…

    Any suggestion?

    Thanks in advance!!!
