Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 23,565 PointsWrite out a conditional statement that tests if a page is the front page in WordPress
I thought this was the answer but I've been told it is wrong:
<?php if ( is_front_page() ): ?>
Am I making a silly mistake?

if( is_front_page() )
You don't need the php part since it isn't a complete statement.

7,837 PointsI looked at the Wordpress Codex looks correct to me. But I'm not a Wordpress guru so there may be certain instances where it's returning false and using
is_home()would be the better option. There may be something wrong somewhere else in your code.
