In my wordpress home.php file, I have placed an increment loop with the help of a few stackexchange threads:
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $count = 0; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php $count++; ?>
<?php if ($count == 3) : ?>
<?php if (function_exists ('adinserter')) echo adinserter (1); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php $count = 0; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Where, inside the content.php file, I have the following:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail()) {
echo '<a href="' . get_permalink($post->ID) . '" >';
the_post_thumbnail('my_feature_image', array( 'class' => "img-responsive" ));
echo '</a>';
}
?>
</div>
<div class="col-md-9">
<h3 class="article-list-header"><strong><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></strong></h3>
<h4 class="article-list-subheader"><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y'); ?></h4>
<p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
</div>
</div>
As you can see above, I have tried to place this: <?php if (function_exists ('adinserter')) echo adinserter (1); ?> after every three posts which doesn't seem to work no matter what value I add to the count. It echo the php function at random positions and it also doesn't seem to work on the next page of my infinite scroll homepage.
Can I please get some pointers on what I'm doing wrong here.

Reset to default 2First, let's clean up this tag SPAM nightmare so we can read it and then simplify the code:
function adinserter() {
return 'abcdefg';
}
if (have_posts()) {
$count = 0;
while (have_posts()) {
the_post();
$count++;
get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
if ($count == 3) {
if (function_exists ('adinserter')) {
echo adinserter (1);
}
$count = 0;
}
}
}
You were duplicating code by having get_template_part() inside and else conditional and also inside the if itself. That code runs all the time. It doesn't need to be in a conditional at all.
Next, your code works except for the placement of the echo function. Placing that before get_template_part() made the first add come out between posts #2 and #3-- which is what I assume you mean by the code being inserted "at random positions". The rest dropped in correctly. The way you had the if/else written this may have been hard to spot, but as soon as I cleaned that up the answer was fairly obvious.
So far, not much WordPress to it. The WordPress is this: you don't need the counter. There is one built into the Loop. It is provided for you.
if (have_posts()) {
while (have_posts()) {
the_post();
get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
if ($wp_query->current_post !== 0 && ($wp_query->current_post+1)%3 == 0) {
if (function_exists ('adinserter')) {
echo adinserter (1);
}
}
}
}
As far as why it doesn't work with your infinite scroll, I can't say as I don't know how your infinite scroll works.
