[wp-testers] RC Issue - is_front_page() and is_home() not working in sidebar

[Jordan Patterson]

I am trying to use is_front_page() in sidebar.php but it doesn't do
anything. I tried using is_home() as well and the same thing is true.
When I put them in index.php around get_sidebar() it works fine (although
doesn't provide the functionality that I need).
After searching online I noticed that a few people had found this issue with
WordpressMU but there were no solutions offered.

Is anyone else having this issue?
