Wordpress is_page() for blog post listing page

I'm trying to use an is_page() conditional in Wordpress to detect whether or not the current page is the blog listing page (or a blog post page actually). The conditional works fine for any other page (contact, whats-on etc) but for some reason it doesn't work for the blog page.

Plus the actual blog post pages - URLs are www.domain.com/the-post-title format, so I can't check for 'blog' in the URL from $_SERVER or anything. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

We need to check:

  • if this page is blog page.

  • if this page is "page for posts"

    function is_page_for_posts() {
    $result = false;

    if ( is_home() && ! is_front_page() ) {
        $page = get_queried_object();

        $result = ! is_null( $page ) && $page->ID == get_option( 'page_for_posts' );
    }

    return $result;
}

According to this article, this is how you use these kind of conditional functions:

if ( is_front_page() && is_home() ){
    // Default homepage
} elseif ( is_front_page()){
    //Static homepage
} elseif ( is_home()){
    //Blog page
} else {
    //everything else
}

You may need to do a combination of is_home() - if your home page is the blog

or is_single() based on the type of blog post
