Where to put PHP in the loop

  • Hi there. I have written a script which will change the URL of clickable links with in a page, but I need to add the function somewhere. I figured I could put it in the loop.php, but everywhere I put it in there, it breaks the page. So, where can I put my custom function in the loop?

  • In the loop.php or in the loop code you will need make sure the code is in the php tags.

    To wrap a code call in php tags <?php my_function(); ?>
    If you are returning strings (url’s)

    <!-- This is html code and comment outside the php tags -->
<div>
<?php /* This is a php comment and code lines inside php tags */ ?>
<?php echo my_function('link1'); ?>

<?php
/* This is also php comment and code lines inside php tags */
if($whichlink) {
   echo my_function($whichlink);
}
?>
<!-- Back to html code -->
</div>

<!-- This is mixed conditional code block php, html, php, html, php, html -->
<?php if($whichlink) : ?>
<div>
   <?php echo my_function($whichlink); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- All Done -->

    If you want to add the script code and loop code to pastebin and add the two file links, you might get a more detailed answer, it might be better to use a template part.

    Study the structure and code in the default themes loop for more examples.
