To display specific content only on the homepage in WordPress, you can use conditional statements in your theme's template files. Specifically, you can use the `is_front_page()` function, which checks if the current page is the front page (homepage) of your WordPress site. If it returns `true`, you can show the content you want; otherwise, you can hide it.
Here's an example of how to use the `is_front_page()` function to show specific content only on the homepage:
1. Open the template file where you want to show the content (e.g., `front-page.php` or `index.php`) in your theme editor.
2. Add the following code inside the template file where you want the content to be displayed:
In this example, the content inside the `if (is_front_page())` block will be displayed only when the current page is the front page (homepage) of your WordPress site. If the condition returns `false`, the content inside the block will be ignored and not displayed.
Make sure to save the changes to the template file after adding the code. The content you added will now be visible only on the homepage of your WordPress site.
If you want to show the content on the blog page (posts page) instead of the homepage, you can use the `is_home()` function instead of `is_front_page()`. The `is_home()` function checks if the current page is the blog page.
Remember to be careful when editing theme files, and always back up your files before making changes. Additionally, consider using a child theme if you plan to make significant modifications to your theme to ensure that your changes are not lost when the theme is updated.

2. Add the following code inside the template file where you want the content to be displayed:
PHP:
<?php if (is_front_page()) : ?>
<!-- Add your content here that you want to show only on the homepage -->
<div>
<h2>Welcome to our Homepage!</h2>
<p>This content is visible only on the homepage.</p>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
