Cannot get is_front_page to work in WordPress footer

1 Views

I have a few lines of code in my footer.php file that I only want activated on the site’s home page. I have tried various suggestions for using is_front_page that I have found online, but none of them have worked. I am obviously not a php expert!

This is the site, and I am using a static page as the home page. Below is the code I’d like activated only on the home page. All help is appreciated!

<?php   
$display_brands_widget = false;
if (isset($qode_options_flat['footer_brands_area'])){
    if ($qode_options_flat['footer_brands_area'] == "yes")  $display_brands_widget = true;
}
if($display_brands_widget): ?> 
    <div class="carousel_slider_holder clearfix">
        <ul class="carousel_slider">
            <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'brands' ); ?>
        </ul>
    </div>
<?php endif; ?>

  1. Thanks to some great diagnostic help from @chris-rogers, I was able to figure out that is_front_page “wasn’t working” in footer content because I was using loading pages through Ajax. The simple solution ended up being to move the snippet of code in question to a new page template, so that it only loaded when that page content was called.
