is_home() and is_front_page() not working in sidebar

Question

I'm trying to display a custom widget in the sidebar of my homepage (which is a static front page defined in Settings > Reading). Here is the relevant part of my sidebar.php:

if ( is_front_page() || is_home() ) {
    if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar_lecture' ) ) : ?>
        <div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
            <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar_lecture' ); ?>
        </div>
    <?php 
endif;

The sidebar does not display because the conditional tag does not recognize my homepage as being a homepage.

When I print_r($wp_query) in the sidebar, it reveals that [is_page] => 1 and that the post's [ID] => 32, which is correct. However, [is_home] is null.

For the record, I did use a custom query (query_posts()) in my page.php template, but I did reset it afterwards using wp_reset_query().

Any pointers?

Answer 1

I was having the same issue but found an anwser that worked for me. When you use wp_reset_query(); before you use is_home(); or is_front_page(); it will work just fine.

Answer 2

You can missing the semicolon at the end of the code. please replace the code with my code.

       if ( is_front_page() || is_home() ) {
           if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar_lecture' ) ) : ?>
                <div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
                    <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar_lecture' ); ?>
                </div>
              <?php 
            endif;
        }

I hope it's work.
