   Hello,

   I searched using 'counting loops' but didn't come across anything pertinent. I am trying to construct my page so that every 3 or 4 posts, I can insert a Google Adsense section, how do I achieve this?

   Thank you,
   Richard

   Just stick a variable (let's say $post_count) with the increment operator into The Loop, and check on the value of that. So locate:

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   in your template, and add $post_count++ to it, like so:

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $post_count++; ?>

   Then in The Loop where the ad is to display:

   <?php if(4 == $post_count) : ?>

   ~ Your adsense code goes here ~

   <?php endif; $post_count = 0; ?>

   I found a bug with that, the $post_count = 0; needs to be before the endif;

   Thanks, it worked perfectly!

   Hmm, yeah. Guess I was distracted by an upgrade or something...
