I'm trying to add a sponsor banner on a particular Category archive page, and it should appear just above the posts on that specific category page. I'm using the following code in my functions.php file, but the banner is appearing above each and every post on that page rather than just above the first one.
Can someone please let me know what I'm doing incorrectly? Or, if there's a better/more concise way of doing this, please feel free to share.
function sponsor_banner($post_count) {
if (is_category('category-xyz')) {
if ($post_count == 1) { ?>
<img src="/path/to/banner.jpg">
<?php
}
}
}
add_action('the_post', 'sponsor_banner');
Try this:
function sponsor_banner($post_count) {
static $already_run = false;
if (is_category('uncategorized')) {
if ( !$already_run) {
?>
<img src="/path/to/banner.jpg">
<?php
$already_run = true;
}
}
}
add_action('the_post', 'sponsor_banner');

Thank you so much! This did the trick perfectly. I don't understand everything in the code, but I'm happy that I don't have to tinker around for another 6 hours. :-)
A minor correction: The parameter passed to the_post hook is the post itself
function sponsor_banner($post) {
static $already_run = false;
if (is_category('uncategorized')) {
if ( !$already_run) {
?>
<img src="/path/to/banner.jpg">
<?php
$already_run = true;
}
}
}
add_action('the_post', 'sponsor_banner');

The code needs to be added to your theme's functions.php file.
If you have any other problems, please start a new topic, this one has been marked as resolved.
