WP Hack: Adding banner (ad) after the first post

Posted in » WordPress - by Ades on December 24th, 2007

Sometimes you just want to add one ad (banner) in your blog, and you want it to be after the first post. If you wanted to do that, here is a quick fix:

wordpress, adding banner ad after the first post

As you can see from the screenshot above, you will need to find your “Read More” code in index.php (Presentation > Theme Editor > Main Index Template). After you have found it, insert this code below:

<?php if ($count == 0) : ?>

paste your ad code here

<?php endif; $count++; ?>

Replace the text “paste your ad code here” with your own ad code and save your index.php.

That’s it! This small code will display your ads after the first post only.

    Hi Ades,

    Thanx for the tips. I had search this info for quite sometimes. Need to put the nuffnang ads.

    Btw Ades, I had a talk with Tim about the nuffnang ads are not done well in your blog and he says because the unique visitors that you received mostly from outside, not local.

    Hope that info will help..

    xBrain, yes that might be the case with nuffnang. But anyway the performance was still weak compared to other programs.
