Ad Inserter not detecting posts

  • I’m trying to use ALM and AdInserter. AdInserter is set to load an ad after posts 2 and 4. However, when I’m debuggin with AdInserter it only shows the initial page as having post counts. I believe this is because ALM isn’t calling The_POST() which is what its using to count/determine that particular insertion point.

    My repeater template looks like the following at the moment:

    <p class="entry-meta"><?php the_time("F d, Y"); ?></p>
<div class="inside-article">
<?php if (! has_post_thumbnail() ) { echo ' class="no-img"'; } ?>
   <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('full'); ?></a>
   <?php }?> 
	<div class="entry-summary" itemprop="Text">
	<p>
   <?php the_excerpt();
	     ?>
    </p>
	</div>

   <footer class="entry-meta">
				<span class="comments-link"><span class="gp-icon icon-comments"><svg viewBox="0 0 512 512" aria-hidden="true" role="img" version="1.1" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="1em" height="1em">

    And I’m using the following shortcode, i’ve tried it both inside and outside the loop on my index.php page (using generatepress theme):

    <?php 
echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more id="6618441942" post_type="post" posts_per_page="6" post_format="standard" images_loaded="true" offset="6"]'); ?>

  • OK, it seems I can answer the question – automatic insertion works fine.

    The easiest way to visualize insertion positions is to enable Show positions debugging function in Ad Inserter.

    I can see that each ALM Ajax call loads 5 post excerpts so you have available positions Before and After Excerpt:
    https://adinserter.pro/documentation/automatic-insertion

    You can use filter to limit insertions:
    https://adinserter.pro/documentation/additional-block-settings#filter

    After I scroll the page down another 5 excerpts are loaded.

    It also seems that HTML tags are stripped from the exceptrs so insertion inside doesn’t make sense.

    Anyway, they are short excerpts and you can easily insert between them (for example using After excerpt insertion and Filter set to 2, 4).

    @spacetime @dcooney I can confirm that the after excerpt insertion point would work. It’s not ideal because it splits up pieces of the post (either puts the comments button after the ad slot or puts the ad between the image and my ‘likebtn’, which i might be able to fix with other css customizations); however, it does appear to work.

    It would be great in the future if you all could get the ‘between post’ trigger point working. Thanks both for your help.

    Insertion inside works, please see my reply above.

    You would need to prevent stripping HTML tags inside excerpts to make it usable.

    However, this is beyond the purpose of the excerpt.
