Function Reference/is page

Contents

Description

This Conditional Tag checks if Pages are being displayed. This is a boolean function, meaning it returns either TRUE or FALSE. This tag must be used BEFORE The Loop and does not work inside The Loop (see Notes below).

Usage

<?php is_page($page); ?>

Parameters

$page
(mixed) (optional) Page ID, Page Title or Page Slug
Default: None

Return Values

(boolean) 
true on success, false on failure.

Examples

is_page();
// When any single Page is being displayed.

is_page(42);
// When Page 42 (ID) is being displayed.

is_page('Contact');
// When the Page with a post_title of "Contact" is being displayed.

is_page('about-me');
// When the Page with a post_name (slug) of "about-me" is being displayed.

is_page(array(42,'about-me','Contact'));
// Returns true when the Pages displayed is either post ID 42, or post_name "about-me", or post_title "Contact".  Note: the array ability was added at Version 2.5.

Notes

Passing Empty Value Returns TRUE

Be very careful if there's a possibility of passing an empty value as a parameter to check for a specific page, since the following lines will return true: 

is_page( '' )
is_page( 0 )
is_page( '0' )
is_page( null )
is_page( false )
is_page( array() )

Cannot Be Used Inside The Loop

Due to certain global variables being overwritten during The Loop is_page() will not work. In order to use it after The Loop you must call wp_reset_query() after The Loop.

Change Log

Since: 1.5.0

Source File

is_page() is located in wp-includes/query.php.
