WP_Query::is_front_page() │ public │ WP 3.1.0

Is the query for the front page of the site?

This is for what is displayed at your site's main URL.

Depends on the site's "Front page displays" Reading Settings 'show_on_front' and 'page_on_front'.

If you set a static page for the front page of your site, this function will return true when viewing that page.

Otherwise the same as @see WP_Query::is_home()

{} It's a method of the class: WP_Query{}

No Hooks.

Return

true|false. Whether the query is for the front page of the site.

Usage

global $wp_query;
$wp_query->is_front_page();
