Need help with Conditional Tags

[kavikalyn]

Hello, I'm using Genesis with the Parallax Pro theme. I want to show a Google Adsense 728x90 banner ad at the top and the bottom of each page except the home page. I've got the homepage set up with the parallax blocks and it looks really bad with ads.

I'm using the Genesis Simple Hooks plugin to add the Adsense code to the genesis_before_loop and genesis_after_loop tags and the pages look great. I just need a way to not show the ads on the homepage.

I contacted Synthesis support and they said I needed to use conditional tags and sent me a link to this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

I understand the idea behind how these work I'm just not sure how to exactly write the code. I basically need a bit of code to put in the Genesis hooks that says:

If it's the home page > Don't do anything
If it's not the home page (any other page on the site) > show Adsense code in this hook

Can anyone help me out with this? I imagine it should be pretty simple.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Add

if ( ! is_front_page())

Home page relates to your posts page so i assume you mean the front page otherwise use

! is_home()

That link was helpful, thanks. So is this right? I want to show the ads on every page except the home page (it's a specific page not my posts page).

if(is_singular()) { ?>
ADSENSE CODE
<?php }

And in theory that would show on every single page except the home page and I just paste that code into the simple hooks plugin?

There's no way to do an "is not home page" is there?

! is_home()

Excludes the home page and displays on every other page including archives, pages and posts.

I wouldn't use the plugin. I would use code in the functions file like:

-
add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'adsense' );
function adsense() {
if ( !is_home() ) {
echo'Your Script';
    }
}

Even better to create a widget

Thanks for the help so far.

I tried adding the following to the function.php file:

add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'adsense' );
function adsense() {
if ( !is_home() ) {
echo'Your Script';
    }
}

And it showed the ads in the correct location but still showed them on the homepage.

I'm not very comfortable with the coding and with creating a widget area so I'd rather just use the simple hooks plugin.

I tried putting the following in the simple hooks plugin:

if(! is_home()) { ?>
ADSENSE CODE
<?php }

And that didn't work either.

Link to your home page please.

Did you try

if ( ! is_front_page())

If you only want it on single posts, use:

if ( is_singular('post') )

Home

I have a coming soon plugin but I disabled it for a bit so you can see the homepage.

Thanks.

Is anyone else out there able to help?

I need to know what code for conditional tags to put around my Adsense code so ads will show on every page except the homepage.

I'm entering this code in genesis_before_loop and genesis_after_loop using the Genesis Simple Hooks plugin.

Thanks in advance for any help.
