is_home() || is_front_page() – false positives?

[Sindy]

Hey there,

Woothemes is using the following code to only display a featured slider on my front page. This featured slider is now also displaying on my events front page since the upgrade. Is this intended or a bug? I’ve tested modifying the code to only crosscheck “is_home” or “is_front_page” – it still displays the slider each time.

// Featured Slider
if ( ( is_front_page() ) && ( $paged == 1 ) && isset( $woo_options[‘woo_featured’] ) && $woo_options[‘woo_featured’] == ‘true’ )
get_template_part ( ‘includes/featured’ );

Hi Marco,

This is not intended but not really a bug either. It’s something you or WooThemes will need to modify in order to add an additional check for the events page(s) to prevent the slider form showing. You can use the following conditional to check for the various event related pages: https://gist.github.com/jo-snips/2415009

I hope that helps but let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Jonah,

Ultimately I could not get any of those conditional checks to work for me and went with the solution of checking that ‘events’ wasn’t in the URL by adding the following: (strpos($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’],’events’) === FALSE)

if ( ( is_home() ) && ( is_front_page() ) && (strpos($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’],’events’) === FALSE) && ( $paged == 1 ) && isset( $woo_options[‘woo_featured’] ) && $woo_options[‘woo_featured’] == ‘true’ )
get_template_part ( ‘includes/featured’ );

Thanks!
Marco

Hi Marco,

Not sure why my code wouldn’t work for you but I’m glad you came up with a solution! Let us know if you need help with anything else.

Thanks,
