  2. <?php if(is_home()): ?>

<div>Your div.</div>

<?php endif; ?>

    Using above code works fine as long as you are not setting static Page for the Front Page display from here Administration > Settings > Reading.

    <?php if(is_front_page()): ?>

<div>Your div.</div>

<?php endif; ?>

    But this code will work irrespective of whether the main blog page is showing or you have set a static page to show on home page.

  3. You could also solve the problem with CSS.

    Set the div to 

    #your-div{
display: none;
}

    in your css.

    Then find the body class page-id for the front page and set the css for that as:

    .body-class-page-id #your-div {
display: block;
}

    This will hide it on every page except the page you want to show it on.

  4. There’s always $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] you can use to determine which page you’re at. For homepage it is usually just ‘/’. so:

    <?php if( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/' ) { ?>
<div id="home_only">Content goes here..</div>
<?php } ?>
