Are you looking for a way to display Google ads after first post in WordPress? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to include ad.php file and display Google ads after after the first post in WordPress.
Make sure to create a new file named ad.php and add your Google adsense code in it.
Instructions:
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s single.php file or in a site-specific plugin:
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $loopcounter++; ?>
// the loop stuffs
<?php if ($loopcounter <= 1) { include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/ad.php'); } ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Any idea how to do this with Twenty Eleven theme? It was easy in Twenty Ten, but I’ve tried several of them in Twenty Eleven but the loop is different and it ends up displaying several times.
Hi Zeaks ill take a look at the theme and let you know.
It is almost the same as the above code, I put the code within the main index.php template. I put the code in pastebin.com so you can take a look. http://pastebin.com/naVwL9Nb
Thanks, for some reason I was thinking this had to be added to content.php, it worked fine once I added it to index
no problem glad that I could help!
