Display menu if site is homepage (wordpress)

Question

On site I have left menu, which appears on almost every subpage

<div class="category_menu">
    <nav class="cat_menu">
        <div class="menu_title parent_cat_name">
            <h6><?php echo $category->name; ?></h6>
        </div>
        <?php rs_left_menu_subcats($subcategories); ?>
    </nav>
</div>

I would like do display the another menu if site is homepage. In other cases it should be menu from code I pasted.

What code may I use?

You can combine is_front_page() and is_home() Wordpress function.

<?php if( is_front_page() && is_home() ) { ?>
    // you are on homepage, show your another menu
<?php } else { ?>
<div class="category_menu">
    <nav class="cat_menu">
        <div class="menu_title parent_cat_name">
            <h6><?php echo $category->name; ?></h6>
        </div>
        <?php rs_left_menu_subcats($subcategories); ?>
    </nav>
</div>
<?php } ?>

If you want to display specific content on wordpress homepage than you can do it using is_front_page()

if ( is_front_page() ) {    
    // your menu code goes here for home page
}

Looks good, but after use it I don't see no additional menu. I try with only "test" text too and it is also invisible.

@Pat and in Wordpress administration, which site you using as homepage? Standard WP page with posts, or some static page?

I use static page.

Then use only is_front_page() in the conditional, so first line of my code must be: <?php if( is_front_page() ) { ?>
