could not load custom function to header

[hp]

add_action( 'genesis_header', 'custom_slider' );
function custom_slider () {
	if ( is_home() && function_exists( 'soliloquy_slider' ) ) soliloquy_slider( '29' );
}

I use above code, but it looks like Genesis didn't load custom_slider function. Did I do anything wrong? Running on WordPress 3.8.

Thanks.

Is your code in your functions.php?

Add an echo statement so you see if any output is making it to the genesis_header action:

add_action( 'genesis_header', 'custom_slider' );
function custom_slider () {
	echo '<h1>foo</h1>';
	if ( is_home() && function_exists( 'soliloquy_slider' ) ) soliloquy_slider( '29' );
}

If you see "Foo" in the header space, the function is hooking into the action correctly. Are you on your site's homepage ( or blog page, if you have a static page set as the homepage )? Is the slider plugin loaded & working?

Cheers!

Yes, it's in functions.php file. And I also just tested like your suggestion and it looks like is_home() is not working. If I delete 'is_home() &&' then the slide can load to all pages.

Any idea?
Thanks.

Well... read again the difference between is_home and is_front_page, replaced function and it's working now.
