 * Can anyone tell me why this is not working?
 *     ```
       <?php if ( (is_front_page()) || (is_page(array(582))) || (is_paged() == 'false') ) { ?>
       <div>Something to include</div>
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * Thank you!

 * btw. I tried also:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( (is_front_page();) || (is_page(array(582));) || (is_paged() == 'false') ) { ?>
       <div>Something to include</div>
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * And it’s also not working! 🙁

 * If you describe in words what you are trying to accomplish it might make it easier
   for others to assist.

 * Just about to do it… so here:
 * IF I’m on a home page OR on specific page (but not on its paged pages) then include
   something, if not, just forget it 😉
 * Hope this is understandable.
    Thanks for helping out.
 * ps. did I mention, I’m just learning and probably making stu**d mistakes…

 * Assuming you have `is_front_page()` is what you want…
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( is_front_page() || is_page('582') ) { ?>
       <div>Something to include</div>
       <?php } ?>
       ```

 * It still refuses to work!
    – I checked if cache is enabled, but not. Removed 
   cache instructions from config file, and disabled cache plugin. – I tried also
   variation `<?php if ( is_home() || is_page('holiday-news') ) { ?>` but that also
   does not yield results… Any other ideas? I’m using this code within sidebar if
   that has anything to do with it.

 * Could be something else messing with the query variables so put `<?php wp_reset_query();?
   >` right before your if statement to see if that resolves it.

 * Thanks Michael, that done the trick 🙂
    I was going crazy already…

 * Continued…. I still need the last bit.. if the page is paged then don’t show 
   it!
    How do I properly say “if it is not paged”? Something like: `<?php if ( 
   is_front_page() || is_page('582') && !$paged ) { ?>` In words: If it’s front 
   page or page 582 but not paged …

 * I managed to do it this way:
 * <?php if ( is_front_page() || is_page(‘582’) ) { ?>
    <?php if ( !(is_paged())){?
   > <div>Something to include</div> <?php } ?> <?php } ?>
 * Is there a nicer way?

 * Sorry I forgot the paged thing but something like:
 * `<?php if ( (is_front_page() || is_page('582')) && !is_paged() ) { ?>`
    or even`
   <?php if ( (is_front_page() || is_page('582')) && empty($paged) ) { ?>`
