Change DIV to ASIDE tag

Hi Rafa?,

We provide information about how to change the div container to other HTML elements in our custom code section. You can find it here.

Best regards and a wonderful Sunday,

Thank you, Joachim!
It would be great if I may alter the tag only on content placements (after nth paragraph). How to filter only them?

Hi,

Yes, that would be possible.

The second parameter in this filter is the Advanced_Ads_Ad class, which can call the options() method which returns an array. If available and inside a placement, the key placement_type contains the type of the placement.

As a starting point, you might test something like:
$options = $ad->options(); if (isset($options['placement_type']) && $options['placement_type'] === 'post_top') {

Thank you!

I’ve changed the type to 'post_content'. Works!

function advads_change_wrapper_div( $output, $ad ) {
  $options = $ad->options();
  if (isset($options['placement_type']) 
  && $options['placement_type'] === 'post_content') 
  {
    $output = preg_replace( '/^(<div )/', '<aside ', $output );
    $output = preg_replace( '/(<\/div>)$/', '</aside>', $output );
  }
  return $output;
}
add_filter( 'advanced-ads-ad-output', 'advads_change_wrapper_div', 10, 2 );

To be honest, I’d prefer to change the most outer tag of the AdvAds insert. Now it happens on container with [class$="target"].

I’ve figured out a workaround earlier.
Used Insert after nth paragraph
My $ad_code = <aside class="advads-content">[the_ad_placement id="the-name-of-my-manual-placement"]</aside>
where i put the shortcode of my Manual Placement.

Do you think this solution is safe / has any weaknesses?
