Help with conditionals for action hooks

[sethbahookey]

Hello! I am trying to add a snippet of code to the bottom of my pages in my website. However, I only want it to show up on some pages and not on others. I'm trying to wrap a conditional around an action hook to let it know whether it needs to display or not. For some reason it is working backwards... See below.

if( is_page() ) {
add_action('genesis_entry_footer', 'hello_world');
function hello_world() {
echo "hello world";
}
}

This should display a small hello world at the bottom of the entry section of this page, but it shows nothing!

if( !is_page() ) {
add_action('genesis_entry_footer', 'hello_world');
function hello_world() {
echo "hello world";
}
}

When I turn it to "is not page" as the conditional then it pops up. So what the heck is going on here? My page is really a post? when I try is_single() that doesn't work either. Please help!

Add the conditional after the function

Thanks for the response! Could you provide an example please? This is how I am understanding you...

add_action(‘genesis_entry_footer’, ‘hello_world’);
function hello_world() {
           if( is_page() ) {
                    echo “hello world”;
           }
}

The thing is I want to either add or remove an action hook based on whether I'm on a certain section of my site.

So something like:

if( !is_page('contact-us') || !is_page('about-us') ) {
	add_action('genesis_entry_footer', 'wpmem_inc_sidebar');
}

wpmem_inc_sidebar is what I'm actually trying to insert into the site. The challenge is that it is not recognizing those conditionals :/

P.S. - I just put this in the site so you can see what I mean about it being on every page...

if( !is_page('contact-us') || !is_page('about-us') ) {
	add_action('genesis_entry_footer', 'wpmem_inc_sidebar');
}

Your first snippet looks o.k

As far as support for adding a plugins functionality, the best people to ask are the plugin Developers.

Hard to provide support for 35,000+ plugins.

Ok, either way, the conditionals aren't working regardless of plugin. So I'm wondering what went wrong there.

Do you already have an add_action for genesis_entry_footer somewhere in the code base?

Your first snippet looks fine to me. Where did you put the code because it should be in functions.php

Well I did a search through the whole WP folder and it looks like that 'genesis_entry footer is sprinkled throughout the post.php page.

[sethbahookey]

Yes I did place it within functions.php at the bottom of that page. Is there a way to do a check on the page itself to determine what it's page id is? I mean I've switched the permalinks back to default to get the page id that way, but still nothing!
