is_home conditional tag returns incorrect value with home pagination

[man4toman]

I create a index page with simple posts loop that paginate with 'the_posts_pagination' function, in default index 'is_home' returns true but when I navigate to page 2, 'is_home' returns true again!

The reading options is set on default values.

I check $wp_query in these 2 page, when 'is_page' is true we aren't in home.

So I add this condition and create the patch.

[man4toman]

Compare the $wp_query in 2 page

The patch

The naming of those conditional functions are quiet irritating, but i would say, that your patch is a breaking change to WordPress.

The is_home indicates, if the query is for the blog homepage. Which is for page 1 and page n correct, because you're still running the "home"-query when you're on page 2, just with an LIMIT/OFFSET.

Hi @ChriCo
I agree with you and also thought about this.

But if we consider the function's name, the is_home function should only be for the first page even in blog mode.

Unless we must change the name of is_home to is_blog_home or something like this to prevent this misunderstanding.

Totally we must conclude in this case.
