is_front_page() WordPress Function

The is_front_page() function is used to determine whether the front page of a WordPress site is being displayed. This function is useful for making conditional decisions based on whether the front page is being displayed.

is_front_page() #

Determines whether the query is for the front page of the site.


Description

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 is_home()
