if/else in php and echo html code

1 Views

In the following code, I’m checking that if I’m on my home page of the website, then I will shift the columns by an offset of 2 toward right and for all other pages I shouldn’t have any offset. I’m trying to implement this but I’m getting an error. It would be great if you can give me a hint. Thanks! 

    <?php if (is_front_page() ) {
        echo '<div class="col-md-8 la-content-inside col-md-offset-2">';
        while ( have_posts() ) { the_post(); }
    } else {
        echo '<div class="col-md-8 la-content-inside">';
        while ( have_posts() ) { the_post(); }
    }
    ?>

                <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>

            <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
        </div>

  1. In your code you are opening while block in if & else block & closing the endwhile after condition blocks.

    try using 

    <?php  
if (is_front_page() ) {
    echo '<div class="col-md-8 la-content-inside col-md-offset-2">';
    while (have_posts()) : the_post(); 
        get_template_part( 'content', 'page' );
    endwhile; // end of the loop.
}else {
    echo '<div class="col-md-8 la-content-inside">';
    while (have_posts()) : the_post();
        get_template_part( 'content', 'page' );
    endwhile; // end of the loop. 
}
?>

  2. Let’s start with cleaning up your code. I’m writing the code over several lines so it stays understandable for the one asking the question. (Yes, you could write it more efficient)

    <?php
echo '<div class="col-md-8 la-content-inside';
// frontpage exception
if(is_front_page()) {
     echo ' col-md-offset-2';
}
echo '>';

while(have_posts()) {
    the_post();
    get_template_part( 'content', 'page' );
}
echo '</div>';
?>

    If this generates an error. Please copy paste the error as comment in this answer.

  3. try below short code.. will for you..

    <div class="col-md-8 la-content-inside <?php echo (is_home() ? 'col-md-offset-2' : '' );?> ">
 <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); 
      get_template_part( 'content', 'page' );
   endwhile; // end of the loop.
 ?>
 </div>

    you need to user is_home() function.. for front page.
