Title: Issue with is_home() condition on WP 3.3 Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Issue with is_home() condition on WP 3.3 * [eva-MyClientIsRich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eva-myclientisrich/) * (@eva-myclientisrich) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-thumbnails-sizes/) * Hello ! * I’m working on a theme using **different thumbnail sizes on blog homepage**. My code was working fine before the update. And now… It looks like the condition** if(is_home() && has_tag(array(‘place1’, ‘place2’, ‘place5’)))** does not work anymore… **When I remove the is_home() part, it works fine.** But I need it… Here is the code. * **1st try**, working fine before WP 3.3 : * ```

... ``` * **2nd try** was this : * ``` if(is_home()) { if(has_tag(array('emplacement1', 'emplacement2', 'emplacement5'))) { the_post_thumbnail('home-smallpost-thumbnail'); } } ``` * **3rd try** was the same, without the if(is_home()){} part (so only the has_tag() part) and **it works fine**… * I’m completely lost. Why should the **is_home()** condition break ? Did you experience this kind of problem lately ? Do you see any explaination ? * I hope to hear from someone soon !

Thanks for trying to help ! Tried both solutions, and the same issue continues… * To be sure, I tried to use a regular php function, to get the current page (homepage) url and see if it matches my $homeUrl, and **it works**. The `is_home()` function is still not working, even when I reset queries… Until I find a solution about` is_home()`, I’ll use my function (which does the same). * ``` ``` * Related question : are we allowed to use several times `is_home()` on one page( I use it once in header.php and was trying to use it in content.php) ? I read somewhere that it may cause some troubles… (I think it should not). * Moderator [keesiemeijer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keesiemeijer/) * (@keesiemeijer) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-thumbnails-sizes/#post-2467354) * On what template file are you doing this.

And that’s the blog which is configured as the home page. I also thought about `is_front_page()` but double checked that my blog was the homepage.

If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s). * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems. * Thread Starter [eva-MyClientIsRich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eva-myclientisrich/) * (@eva-myclientisrich) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-thumbnails-sizes/#post-2467363) * Here is the index.php full code : [http://pastebin.com/q2wpQTqF](http://pastebin.com/q2wpQTqF) * And here is content.php : [http://pastebin.com/RkhsA3jx](http://pastebin.com/RkhsA3jx) * I already tried with all my plugins desactivated.

If it’s not the main loop (with pagination) it’s better to use the `$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );` method for these loops as this doesn’t interfere with the main query. [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Usage](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Usage) * Or on index.php use the global query_string on each query_posts and set is_home after each query_posts: * ``` global $query_string; query_posts("$query_string&tag=emplacement5"); $wp_query->is_home = 1; ``` Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) The topic ‘Issue with is_home() condition on WP 3.3’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [has_tag()](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/has_tag/) * [is_home](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/is_home/) * 13 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [keesiemeijer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keesiemeijer/) * Last activity: [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-thumbnails-sizes/#post-2467365) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
