is_front_page()

Determines whether the query is for the front page of the site.

Description

This is for what is displayed at your site’s main URL.

Depends on the site’s "Front page displays" Reading Settings ‘show_on_front’ and ‘page_on_front’.

If you set a static page for the front page of your site, this function will return true when viewing that page.

Otherwise the same as @see is_home()

For more information on this and similar theme functions, check out the Conditional Tags article in the Theme Developer Handbook.

Return
