I am trying to create a different footer for my site with a static home page with homepage panes enabled. Looking on the WordPress Codex, it appears that I should be able to add the following code to my index.php for the site:
<?php
if ( is_home() ) :
get_footer( 'home' );
elseif ( is_404() ) :
get_footer( '404' );
else :
get_footer();
endif;
?>
This should then load the page, footer-home.php on the home page, but not on the other pages where the standard footer is in use. However, when I try this, nothing seems to happen. Am I putting the code in the wrong place? Does it matter that I also have the home page hidden in the child theme CSS using display: none; (so that it doesn’t interfere with the desired layout)?
