How to Insert Ads Between First Post and Second Post in WordPress?

A Few Days Back I wrote about How to Remove WordPress Theme Sidebars and Integrate Google Adsense Search within your Blog.

Now Here’s another small Template Hack/Trick for Displaying Advertisement Between First Post and Second Post in WordPress (Refer Image above).

Follow these simple steps:

• Navigate to Design/Appearance Tab
• Choose Theme Editor
• Go to Index.php
• Now search for the following line in it:

<?php endwhile; ?>

• Now Immediately above this place the following lines:

<?php if(!$show_ads){ ?>
Insert Advertisement Code Here
<?php $show_ads = 1; } ?>

• Moreover, you can align the placement of this Advertisement to Center simply by using <center> tag as shown below:

<center>

<?php if(!$show_ads){ ?>
Insert Advertisement Code Here
<?php $show_ads = 1; } ?>

</center>

It’s all Done.

Note: This template trick/hack is only applicable for WordPress Self Hosted Blog Users, this will not work for Blogs hosted on WordPress.com
