Add ad code after every 3 posts

  • Hi everyone,

    I’ve been trying to add a code to my site’s index.php file in order to have ads displayed after every 3rd post. I’ve tried a number of options, but none has worked so far. I’m a beginner, so I often get confused with these lines of code. I’d really appreciate if someone could help!

    Here is what my index.php looks like

    <?php
/**
 * The index template for displaying content
 *
 * @package Cryout Creations
 * @subpackage Tempera
 * @since Tempera 1.1
 */

$options = tempera_get_theme_options();
foreach ($options as $key => $value) { ${"$key"} = $value; }
?>

		<section id="container" class="<?php echo tempera_get_layout_class(); ?>">

			<div id="content" role="main">

			<?php cryout_before_content_hook();

			if ( have_posts() ) :

				/* Start the Loop */
				while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

					get_template_part( 'content/content', get_post_format() );

				endwhile;

				if($tempera_pagination=="Enable") tempera_pagination(); else tempera_content_nav( 'nav-below' );

			else : ?>

				<article id="post-0" class="post no-results not-found">
					<header class="entry-header">
						<h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Nothing Found', 'tempera' ); ?></h1>
					</header><!-- .entry-header -->

					<div class="entry-content">
						<p><?php _e( 'Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.', 'tempera' ); ?></p>
						<?php get_search_form(); ?>
					</div><!-- .entry-content -->
				</article><!-- #post-0 -->

			<?php
			endif;
			cryout_after_content_hook();
			?>

			</div><!-- #content -->
		<?php tempera_get_sidebar(); ?>
		</section><!-- #container -->

    I’m using tempera theme by cryout. THANKS!

  • what options exactly have you tried?
    what were the results?

    one possibility:
    start by creating a child theme;
    then edit index.php in the child theme, and add some code after this line:

    get_template_part( 'content/content', get_post_format() );

    example code (for the same ad code after each 3rd post):

    if( $wp_query->current_post%3 == 0 && $wp_query->current_post > 0 && $wp_query->current_post <10 ) {
//your code here//
}

    something similar (needs to be adapted a bit): https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/add-ads-between-posts-on-archive-lists-or-tags-list?replies=2#post-6376616

    I’ve tried your suggestion above, but that resulted in the blog page not being loaded at all below the header image and navigation menu.

    After that, I tried the suggestion you posted on https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/add-ads-between-posts-on-archive-lists-or-tags-list?replies=2#post-6376616

    add_action( 'the_post', 'archive_adsense_injection' );

function archive_adsense_injection() {
	if( is_archive() ) {
		global $wp_query;
		if( $wp_query->current_post%3 == 0 && $wp_query->current_post >0 && $wp_query->current_post < 10 ) {
			echo 'YOUR AD CODE';
		}
	}
}

    But that only inserts an ad block on the Archive pages. I’d like to add that to the main blog page, where the posts are. What should I change on that code then?
    Thanks a millon

    But that only inserts an ad block on the Archive pages.

    that is why I said: ‘needs to be adapted’.

    try and remove the conditional:

    add_action( 'the_post', 'archive_adsense_injection' );

function archive_adsense_injection() {
	global $wp_query;
	if( $wp_query->current_post%3 == 0 && $wp_query->current_post >0 && $wp_query->current_post < 10 ) {
		echo 'YOUR AD CODE';
	}
}

    Thanks again for your reply. When I removed that conditional line, my site stopped loading. I’d get a blank screen – panicked for a second, then went into the FTP and reverted the change.

    I tried with if( is_home() ) {
    …and it worked! Thank you! Now how do I set multiple conditionals: like is_home OR is-archive OR etc?

    if( is_home() || is_archive() ) {
