Random ads

    Hello,

    I’m currently running ads after a certain post number.
    I have code like that:

    <?php $count = 1; ?>
    <?phpif( have_posts( ) )
    <?php if ($count==2) : ?>

    So basically I have an ad running after the second post. I can change that to 3rd, 4th or etc. But how do I change that to a random number 1 to 10?
    <?php if ($count==2) : ?> need to be changed to random number but less than 10….

    Thank you.

  • Maybe use wp_rand()?

    <?php $count = wp_rand(1,9); ?>

    Thank you

    Tried that and <?php ($count==wp_rand ( $min = 2, $max = 10 )) : ) ?>

    Blog crashes.

    I’m not surprised. Did you try the simpler code I posted?

    tried

    <?php $count = 1; ?>

    post

    <?php $count = wp_rand(1,9); ?>

    ad

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

    Blog crashes.

    So you have a syntax error? Check your apache error logs if you only see a white screen

    Can you paste the entire loop somewhere like pastebin.com and then post the link here?

    original (non random)

    Modified like this https://pastebin.com/MPYd1F2z Produces white page ….

    The last endif at the end of the file is orphaned since you removed the opening if statement.

    Wow. I’m not good in php and programming. Thank you.

    Still, this code https://pastebin.com/w7WgfG59 puts ads after each post…

    Very difficult to accomplish I guess I would have to change the position of the banner manually from time to time… ?? Unless, someone can point me to the right direction ??
