As this post points out:

conditional tags like is_home(), is_page, is_archive(), etc., are all
seemingly not working. I've noticed this as well (running 2.9.1).
I believe that it might work in some circumstances (like in the
loop?), but
I am currently running into the problem when trying to conditionally
do
something in the theme's functions.php file.
The article linked to above suggests using wp_reset_query() before
using a
conditional, but that does NOT work in functions.php, though it may
work in
a file like footer.php.
Does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening? I dumped the
$wp_query object and all the conditionals in them have null values,
which is
of course why conditional tags aren't working ... which begs the
question,
why isn't the $wp_query object returning accurate values for the
conditionals?
I'm stumped. Any takers?
I have replied on the post as the example there looks very much like a
call to query_posts has been made to run a second query.
As said by others, you cannot use any of the query related
conditionals until the query has been run.
This means that you have to use a hook like template_redirect from a
plugin or functions.php to do conditional specific things.
Basically any hook which runs after WP::query_posts().
