   Hi

   I want to add some text or an ad after the 'more' tag or after a custom excerpt i.e.

   - More text first

   - image/custom text or ad

   - then rest of post

   Loopinsight.com has managed this on their posts e.g.

   http://www.loopinsight.com/2011/02/25/verizon-ceo-says-iphone-sales-strong/

   An ad is displayed after the more/excerpt:

   Verizon Wireless CEO Daniel S. Mead told The Wall Street Journal that sales of the iPhone 4 were very strong, contrary to reports that the phone wasn’t selling as well as expected. The article, penned by Shayndi Raice, included some other tasty tidbits too (it’s behind a paywall)."

   an ad, and then the rest of the post.

   Thanks in advance for any help

   On your theme's single.php use this in stead of <?php the_content(); ?>:
   

   <?php
   $content = get_extended($post->post_content);
   $first_content = apply_filters('the_content', $content['main']);
   $second_content = apply_filters('the_content', $content['extended']);
   
   echo $first_content;
   // put the code for your ads here
   echo $second_content;
   ?>

   This is even better:

   <?php
   $content = get_extended($post->post_content);
   $content['main'] = $content['main'] . '<span id="more-' . $post->ID . '"></span>';
   $first_content = apply_filters('the_content', $content['main']);
   $second_content = apply_filters('the_content', $content['extended']);
   
   echo $first_content;
   
   // put the code for image/custom text or ad here
   
   echo $second_content;
   ?>

   thanks for the fast reply. This is probably a very daft question, but I can't get my ad to display without an error. The code I want to put after the excerpt isn't working - what am I doing wrong?

   Thanks

   <?php
   $content = get_extended($post->post_content);
   $content['main'] = $content['main'] . '<span id="more-' . $post->ID . '"></span>';
   $first_content = apply_filters('the_content', $content['main']);
   $second_content = apply_filters('the_content', $content['extended']);
   
   echo $first_content;
   
   <div style="display:block;float:left;margin-top:0px;margin-right:15px;">
   <script type="text/javascript">
     GA_googleFillSlot("CI_Article_Top");
   </script>
   </div>
   
   echo $second_content;
   ?>

   Not daft at all. try it with this:
   

   <?php
   $content = get_extended($post->post_content);
   $content['main'] = $content['main'] . '<span id="more-' . $post->ID . '"></span>';
   $first_content = apply_filters('the_content', $content['main']);
   $second_content = apply_filters('the_content', $content['extended']);
   
   echo $first_content;
   ?>
   
   <div style="display:block;float:left;margin-top:0px;margin-right:15px;">
   <script type="text/javascript">
     GA_googleFillSlot("CI_Article_Top");
   </script>
   </div>
   
   <?php
   echo $second_content;
   ?>

   actually, just spotted one big problem. If there isn't an excerpt or if a post doesn't have a 'more' added, then my ad isn't displayed at all.

   How do we modify the code so that if there's a more it does what we have above, but if there isn't, then it displays my ad before the full post?

   Thanks

    Try it with this:

    [code moderated as per forum rules - please use the pastbin for these large amounts of code]

    This will just show the_content() if there is no "more" in the post. What do you mean if there is no excerpt?

    the same but a little bit smaller:

    it doesn't quite work - what I want it do to is show the ad and then the_content() if there's no 'more' - it's currently showing just the_content().

    Really appreciate you trying to help

    ........
    <?php
    $content = get_extended($post->post_content);
    if(empty($content)) : ?>
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    <?php else : ?>
    <div style="display:block;float:left;margin-top:0px;margin-right:15px;">
    <script type="text/javascript">
    GA_googleFillSlot("CI_Article_Top");
    </script>

    the ad goes below the_content(), rather than before
