Wordpress function is_front_page() not working...

Question

Hi,

I have a "static" page set up as my front page for Wordpress.

I have this in the index.php file:

        <?php
        if (is_front_page() || is_home()) {
        ?><p>TEST FRONT PAGE</p>
        <?php
        } ?>

For some reason, the "TEST FRONT PAGE" does not show up on the front page, but does show up on the posts page (as it should, for these purposes only)...I'm using Wordpress 3.0, and I tested this on the twentyten template itself!

Anyone know why?

Thanks, Amit

Answer 1

Because the front page is loading from front-page.php not index.php.

EDIT

It's loading from page.php. You can read more about the template hierarchy here:
