Using Oxygen's Conditions to hide an element on your WordPress homepage

The WordPress builder Oxygen has a fantastically useful feature called Conditions, which:

allow you to selectively display any Oxygen element based on a condition or set of conditions, such as if a user is logged in, or if a user has a certain role or capability.

When an element's conditions evaluate to true, the element is shown. If the conditions evaluate to false, the element is hidden

Oxygen has a whole host of conditions to choose from, relating to the Post, the User, the Author and so on. But recently I wanted I wanted to hide an element on my homepage only. There is no 'homepage' condition in Oxygen as such. So how could I achieve this?

If I was using a static homepage, it would presumably be easy - I could use the Post ID, Post Title or something like that. But in WordPress I had chosen the option "Your homepage displays Your latest posts" instead (under Settings > Reading):

Luckily though, the Oxygen Conditions feature can also make use of WordPress functions. And WordPress has a built-in function called is_front_page() which returns true when viewing the site's front page (either a static homepage or a dynamic blog index as in my case).

Making use of this is pretty simple:

1. Open up the Oxygen template that contains the element you want to conditionally display/hide (in my case, this was my reusable header template, which is used not just on the homepage but across the entire site)
2. Select the element you want to conditionally display
3. Click on the Condition Settings icon

4. Click on Set Conditions

5. Click Add your first condition
6. In the 'Choose condition...' dropdown, choose Dynamic Data

7. In the 'Insert Dynamic Data' popup, choose PHP Function Return value
8. In the Function Name field, add: is_front_page (you don't need brackets or any arguments)

9. Click INSERT
10. The function will return '1' (true) on the homepage but will otherwise be blank. So to conditionally hide an element on the homepage only, change the '==' dropdown to is_blank. (Conversely, to show it on the homepage only, select is_not_blank).

11. Close the 'Conditions' popup
12. Remember to Save your template
13. Now view your homepage and refresh your browser. The conditionally hidden element should now be... hidden!

Incidentally, WordPress has another similar function called is_home(), but I didn't have any success with this in Oxygen.
