 {{{
 var_dump( get_option( 'show_on_front' ) ); // string(0) ""
 }}}

 such a thing, but perhaps we can improve handling of such cases.
 That's right! But I did handle a support question (through Facebook)
 regarding this situation, and I just had to test it out. The user normally
 writes in RTL, and uses Google Chrome. So that might be something.

 It looks like this already has been handled in some way, but it fails to
 do anything in this scenario, I assume because of line 65 with all the
 `&&` cases, at least one of them holds `false`.

 I hope this helps!
