is there a way to remove the sidebox "review" from the homepage only?

Create an over-ride for the reviews sidebox module file.

This involves copying includes/modules/sideboxes/reviews.php to includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/reviews.php.

Open up your new copied sidebox module file and change asf:

<?php


BIG COMMENT BLOCK

// test if box should display
    
if ($this_is_home_page) {
    $show_reviews = false;
  } else {
    $show_reviews = true;
  }

if ($show_reviews == true) {

// if review must be approved or disabled do not show review

etc etc (THIS IS YOUR EXISTING CODE >>>)

  }
?>

Don't forget the closing } before ?>
