1. Find the id number of the page you want the special stylesheet to go to.

2. Open up header.php and find where your stylesheet is being linked from.

Change:

Code:

Code:

< ?php if ( is_page(id#) ) {
echo '

Just to make sure my PHP is wrong and nothing else, did you replace "id#" with your home page’s id?

Silly me, I see the problem here!

Give this one a go:

Code:

< ?php if ( is_page(id) ) {
echo ' ‘;
}
else {
echo ‘ ‘;
}
endif ?>

Code:

< ?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
< ?php if (is_paged()) : ?>
< ?php $postclass = ('post'); ?>
< ?php else : ?>
< ?php $postclass = ($post == $posts[0]) ? 'featured-post' : 'post'; ?>
< ?php endif; ?>

I don’t think you understand what the OP is asking for.

Here’s another one, from Chris’ book Digging into WordPress.

Conditionally loading extra CSS files

Code:

< ?php if (is_page_template("page-snippet.php")){ ?>

href="/css/snippets.css” />
< ?php } ?>

Since you want it to act on the homepage you should replace is_page_template("page-snippet.php") with is_front_page().

Yes, sorry, forgot to update that. Too quick with my copy and paste!

Should also mention that when using that method, it means you’ll have two stylesheets being loaded at the same time.
