Show slider on homepage only GSH

[senordeer]

Hello! I have a slider that I want to only show up on the homepage.
URL: http://youmaybewandering.com
Using Lifestyle Pro theme.

I am using Genesis Simple Hooks and in the before_content_sidebar_wrap hook I have the following:

<?php
if(is_front_page()) { ?>
[soliloquy id="5019"]
<?php }
?>

I have checked to execute php. The only thing, the slider does not show up on any of the other static pages or individual blog posts, but it does show up if one uses the pagination at the bottom of the homepage to scroll through older posts. These are not the homepage or front page (I also tried the above code with

<?php
if(is_home()) { ?>
[soliloquy id="5019"]
<?php }
?>

and got the same result.

I really only want this slider to appear on the homepage of the blog, no other pages. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I would use the home-top widget area or create a new widget area that goes above home-top. Run the Soliloquy widget in the new area.

Thanks Victor. I would really need to add a new widget because I need it to appear above the whole content_sidebar_wrap, not in the main content next to the sidebar, and I'm actually not using the Lifestyle pro widgetized landing page anyway the homepage is just showing the latest posts. But wouldn't I run into the same problem even if I use a widget? I'm still going to have to call where the widget will go in the php, so I would still be using the same conditionals I would assume, either is_home or is_front_page which is exactly what I am doing with GSH, so I'm wondering how that would work?

Hey there, just an update, I did add a new widget area, and tried this using a Widget Context plugin that allows user to hide/display widgets, I set the widget to display only on front page, and once again, it appears on all pages navigated from the pagination, just not static pages or single posts. I can't even figure out how to hide it using CSS, it's really frustrating. It's like every page that has posts on it is read as Front Page or Home.
