Same here. Coding a thesis_hook_before_sidebar, only && worked.

Hi, I am trying to add some code to the loop.php of my theme, so that the author of each post is displayed below the title. I have done this, but I do not want it to appear on the front page (I use a static page for the homepage). Is there a way to say “if not the front page”?

Struggling! Many thanks.

This was EASILY the most understandable guide I’ve come across in my search for using conditional tags in WordPress. Can’t thank you enough!

If anyone wants to see another example of how to use Leland's tutorial to fix a Jquery laden theme or a busted plugin. I posted a real life example of a Themeforest Jquery Fiasco in my forums. Hope you will find it as useful as I did.

Thanks for documenting this – I was looking for a way to add some information to my footer that I only wanted to appear on posts not pages. Your code worked a treat!

Thanks for the help.

Sorry to report that OR or || as separators didn’t work for me.

For anyone else with this question, I found using && gave me the result I was looking for.

For example,

`is_page(‘one’) && is_category(‘two’)`

Try putting an OR or || as a separator. AND won't work since a page cannot be assigned to a category. is_page(array(’something’,’someone’)) || is_category(’somewhere’)

Great reference post you’ve written. Perhaps for the benefit of others with this same question, could you help me figure out how to conditionally tag both pages and a category in a single Widget Logic field?

For example, I have `is_page(array(‘something’,'someone’))` and I need to add `is_category(‘somewhere’).

But I am stumped.

Awesome post! I was stuck on getting posts to show on JUST ONE category and this helped big time.

Thanks a million!

Wanted to let you know that this is possibly the page I look at most when coding WP themes
