    I registered and added a custom widget to the Metro Pro child theme. The content is showing on all pages but I only want it to show on the home page. I'm certain I need to add is_home() but I'm not sure quite where to place it in the following code:

    add_action( 'genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap', 'add_genesis_widget_area' );
    function add_genesis_widget_area() {
    genesis_widget_area( 'custom-widget', array(
    'before' => '<div class="custom-widget widget-area">',
    'after' => '</div>',
    ) );

    Hi

    There's 2 different solutions:

    1. You can add the conditional tag after the function name:

    if ( is_front_page() )
    

    Example code

    Or

    2. Add the code directly to your front-page.php or home.php file.
