[wp-hackers] Pagination: How to display sidebar content on front page only?

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

2 options.

1. Check from within your widget and only output if the right conditions  
are hit

Sounds like you want if ( is_front_page() && !is_paged() )

2. Register 2 sidebars, and call dynamic_sidebar() based on the  
conditionals.

ie.
if ( is_front_page() && !is_paged() )
   dynamic_sidebar('front-page')
else
   dynamic_sidebar('all-others')

that requires you register both sidebars with id=front-page or  
id=all-others. You' then add the widgets to the sidebar that you want them  
on.
