 * Hello,
 * I’m currently running ads after a certain post number.
    I have code like that:
 * <?php $count = 1; ?>
    <?phpif( have_posts( ) ) <?php if ($count==2) : ?>
 * So basically I have an ad running after the second post. I can change that to
   3rd, 4th or etc. But how do I change that to a random number 1 to 10?
    <?php 
   if ($count==2) : ?> need to be changed to random number but less than 10….
 * Thank you.

 * Maybe use wp_rand()?
 * `<?php $count = wp_rand(1,9); ?>`

 * I’m not surprised. Did you try the simpler code I posted?

 * So you have a syntax error? Check your apache error logs if you only see a white
   screen

 * Can you paste the entire loop somewhere like pastebin.com and then post the link
   here?

 * The last _endif_ at the end of the file is orphaned since you removed the opening
   _if_ statement.

 * Wow. I’m not good in php and programming. Thank you.
 * Still, this code [http://pastebin.com/w7WgfG59](http://pastebin.com/w7WgfG59)
   puts ads after each post…
 * Very difficult to accomplish I guess I would have to change the position of the
   banner manually from time to time… 🙁 Unless, someone can point me to the right
   direction 🙂
