How can I check current page is home page or other.

I try this syntax

if ( is_home() ) { echo ‘ class=”current_page_item”‘; }

But not working I use wordpress 3.3

Any idea…???

I am just trying to learn wordpress from different online sources and it is good to get this post because this is one of the most common problem that new wordpress users face frequently. Thank you for this post. -mohsinmallik@Amish country bed and breakfast expert

Like David said, why is his not a par of the WordPress codex? As useful as this is, it’s a no brainer. In other words, even if you had no brain it would still make sense!

Found this after giving up on the is_subpage version in the Codex. Works well except for one instance that was messing me up with their version too: if the subpage has a different page template than the parent page, it won’t work.

seems to be a number of reasons why it hasn’t entered in as a proper function in wordpress yet.

Nice, I’d left a comment awhile ago about doing this with your previous version of is_subpage qnd whaddya know, here it is.

Another question, if you don’t mind: should I be able to use !is_subpage() and !is_subpage(10)? Doesn’t seem to produce the desired affects…
