While using the visual custom fields advanced location rules editor I can't limit the custom field display to the home.php and/or front-page.php. Could you add functionality, to limit the locations to those pages in the visual editor, like so:
```
'include' => [
            'relation' => 'OR',
            'ID' => [get_option('page_for_posts')],
        ],
```
```
'include' => [
            'relation' => 'OR',
            'ID' => [get_option('page_on_front')],
        ],
```
?

Hi Aaron,

Thank you for getting in touch.

If you use the Builder, you can navigate to the Settings tab > Advanced location rules > Select Custom and pass the custom function name to check if the page is frontpage (set in Settings > Reading) or not. For example:
```
function get_frontpage_id() {
    $post_id = null;
    if ( isset( $_GET['post'] ) ) {
        $post_id = intval( $_GET['post'] );
    } elseif ( isset( $_POST['post_ID'] ) ) {
        $post_id = intval( $_POST['post_ID'] );
    }
    return ( $post_id == get_option('page_on_front') ) ? true : false;
}
```

Thank you for the reply, I got stuck on how to get a true/false value for the callback. I will try this.

It works. However, it won't, if you like to check for more than one callback.
