Static Home Page Problem

    I set up a static page for my wordpress solution. I use this solution to do it:

    Admin Area/Settings/Reading

    1) Chose A Static page
    2) set Home as my Front page
    3)… and Blog as my Posts page

    Then I tried this code to have a flash swf on my Front page:

    This is only the end of header.php

    </div><!-- #masthead -->
	</div><!-- #header -->

<!-- Include swf only for home page -->
<?php if(is_home()): ?>
<div id="hm_swf">
<!-- Put here the swf code -->
<embed src="https://www.mywebsite.no/wordpress/wp-content/flash/bannerliten.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="960" height="228" name="bannerliten" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="https://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" />
 </div>
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- Include swf only for home page -->

	<div id="main">

    As you can see, this code should bring up the frontpage:

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

    .. but my problem is that the flash swf only show up on my blog page. I recognize that my flash swf is working inside there, but why did WordPress define Blog as Home and not the actual homepage itself?

    Hjem = Home

  • is_home() = main posts page
    is_front_page() = your site’s front page (static or posts)

    </div><!-- #masthead -->
	</div><!-- #header -->

<!-- Include swf only for home page -->
<?php if(is_page('Hjem') || is_page('hjem')): ?>
<div id="hm_swf">
<!-- Put here the swf code -->
<embed src="https://www.mywebsite.no/wordpress/wp-content/flash/bannerliten.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="960" height="228" name="bannerliten" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="https://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" />
 </div>
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- Include swf only for home page -->

	<div id="main">

    Try this Andy.

    Or you can try esmi’s send line. It will solve your problem.

    This code helped me out:

    <?php if(is_page('Hjem') || is_page('hjem')): ?>

    … but I know that

    is_front_page()

    …should do the job

    Thanks to you both chinmoy and esmi ??
