 * I’ve searched the forums, and the documentation, but I cannot find how to do 
   the following:
 * The left sidebar on my site (www.ff-magazin.com) is supposed to have a link back
   to the main page, unless of course the page already is the main page (index.php).
 * Right now I have this code display a simple hyperlink to the index.php, like 
   so:
 *     ```
       <li class="widget">
       				<h2>FF Hauptseite</h2>
       				<ul>
       				<a href="http://ffmagazin.com/" title="Zurück zur Hauptseite">Zurück zur Hauptseite</a></li>
       				</ul>
       			</li>
       ```
   
 * What do I need to ad to keep this from displaying on the index.php?
 * Any help, pointers would be appreciated as this can’t be that hard, but I couldn’t
   find any info on this.

 * Hey subimeyere here is what I would do, something like this:
 *     ```
       <?php if (is_home()) { ?>
   
       <!-- home - dont' show hyperlink to index.php -->
   
       <?php } else { ?>
   
       <li class="widget">
       <h2>FF Hauptseite</h2>
       <ul>
       <li><a href="http://ffmagazin.com/" title="Zurück zur Hauptseite">Zurück zur Hauptseite</a></li>
       </ul>
       </li>
   
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * By using conditional tags we can set rules for when people are at different places.
   So if they are on the home page they wont see your link … if they are on any 
   other page (else) they will.
 * Hope this helps.
