# "is_single" include a templatepath

 * Hi, I am working on a theme that has no single.php but rather a loop.php. I wanted
   to add a floating ad so to do that I use the code
    <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.‘/
   ads.php’) ; ?>
 * But this code shows up even on homepage, so I wanted to show it only in “is_single.”
   I am not a PHP guy so please help me with this.
 * Thanks a lot.

 * Use the `is_single()` conditional. Also, use `get_template_part()` instead of`
   include()`. e.g.:
 *     ```
       if ( is_single() ) {
           // include ads.php
           get_template_part( 'ads' );
       }
       ```
   
 * Note also: `TEMPLATEPATH` is deprecated. You should be using `get_template_directory()`
   in its place, if/when you need to return the template path.
