How do you make a hook on only the home page?

[carnelldesign]

I want to put a full length image below the header on just the home page. This is easy to accomplish an all pages but NOT just one page.

Do I do this in functions.php and if so how do you put it just on the home page? Or should I make a home page template and if so what code do I put into the template to display the graphic?

Off hand it looks like you're already using a custom page template for the home page. You are definitely using a custom built theme, so without access to your code, it's not possible to provide guidance. I would contact the developer that built the theme for you.

WordPress code uses php conditionals to do things on specific pages.

There's at least 4 ways you can add your image after the header using the genesis_after_header hook.

1. Add the code directly to your themes existing front-page.php or home.php file.

2. If your theme doesn't include a front_page.php file, create one and add the code in either file.

3. Hook the image in via a custom function in your child themes functions file using (as Andrea suggested ) a conditional tag like:

if ( is_front_page() )

4. Add a widget after the header and add the HTML for your image to a text widget in the after header widget area.

Thanks! For some reason method 2 isn't working. I did get method 3 to work. But I need more customization. Any idea how to add HTML below the header?

[carnelldesign]

I actually got it working with method 3. I noticed that had a div tag in there. So it worked out perfect! Thanks 🙂

So "if ( is_front_page() )" calls to the home page. What if I want to put it on a different page? Like my about us page.

Please use this page about conditional tags on the WordPress Codex as a guide.

As you can see, there are several methods.

Note : All methods are tested and working.
