is_page() not working properly
Posted on 2012-12-20
Hi,
I have a wordpress site with WooCommerce and I am trying to display a banner on the main shop page.
I have added the following code to the wrapper-start.php (the shop loop's wrapper).
In the beginning is_page didn't work at all and didn't show the banner, and when I used is_archive it worked, but appeared on all pages with products on them and not just the main shop page. I found a post here that said to add wp_reset_query and use is_page. Now is_page is showing the banner but again, it shows up on all pages (like this one when I want it to show up only on the main /shop page.
Here is the code I have:
Please advise.
Thanks

I am trying to display a banner on the main shop page.
So that would imply you want the banner on shop and not elsewhere?
if (!is_page('Shop'))
Would put the banner everywhere not with a title of 'Shop'
If you meant to use the slug, it would have been:
if (!is_page('shop')) {
echo do_shortcode("[lbg_kenburnsslider settings_id='2']");
}
Given that a lot of people get confused by this, I always prefer to use the ID:
if (!is_page(20)) {
echo do_shortcode("[lbg_kenburnsslider settings_id='2']");
}
Finally, are you sure you want to be using ! here?
so i need to remove the ! before is_page, otherwise it is not?
That didn't work. (or is that not what you meant?)
Also does this page have an ID if it is a generated page, basically an archive page? if it does, how do I find what the ID is?
Thanks

Yes. The ! in PHP is a not indicator.

Not really, but it's also not a page then. WordPress pages are created through the Pages menu using a page template and only then will is_page() work as expected. If this is an archive, then is_archive() is the correct test.
