Yes, hat code did work however it was using a static ad code. I am looking to iterate through posts every 7th slot for this project. Thank you for assisting me.

[@tommyhares Participant 7 years, 9 months ago]

How do I do that on the server side? Or did you mean client-side?

[@tommyhares Participant 7 years, 9 months ago]

Thanks again for your help Henry. I tried your additions, however the counter still gets reset to 0 after the Load More gets initiated

I assume I have to use the JS ajaxComplete() and run an increment to pass back to the php

do_action( 'bp_before_activity_loop' ); ?>

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) ) ):

  if ( empty( $_POST['page'] ) ) : ?>

    <ul id="activity-stream" class="activity-list item-list">

  <?php endif; ?>

  <?php      
    $count = 0;

Thanks Henry, I have been trying to use that. However, I need to iterate through blog posts, not display the same content repeated. Also, tried directly modifying the activity-loop in a child theme, but it only cycles until the next ajax query. Any other solutions?

[@tommyhares Participant 7 years, 12 months ago]

function activity_ads() {
  
  global $activities_template;

  $item_1 = $activities_template->activities[1];
  $item_11 = $activities_template->activities[11];
  $item_18 = $activities_template->activities[18];
  $item_26 = $activities_template->activities[26];
  $item_36 = $activities_template->activities[36];
  $item_46 = $activities_template->activities[46];
  $item_55 = $activities_template->activities[55];
  $item_65 = $activities_template->activities[65];
  $item_73 = $activities_template->activities[73];
  $item_92 = $activities_template->activities[92];
  $item_102 = $activities_template->activities[102];
  $item_127 = $activities_template->activities[127];

  if ( $item_1->id === $activities_template->activity->id || $item_11->id === $activities_template->activity->id || $item_18->id === $activities_template->activity->id || $item_26->id === $activities_template->activity->id || $item_36->id === $activities_template->activity->id || $item_46->id === $activities_template->activity->id || $item_55->id === $activities_template->activity->id || $item_65->id === $activities_template->activity->id || $item_73->id === $activities_template->activity->id || $item_92->id === $activities_template->activity->id || $item_102->id === $activities_template->activity->id || $item_127->id === $activities_template->activity->id ) { ?>
     
    <li class="ad">
      <div class="activity-content">
       
        <!-- Ad code here -->
        
      </div>
    </li>
      
  <?php }
  
}
add_action( 'bp_before_activity_entry', 'activity_ads' );

Works if you need exact intervals.

[@tommyhares Participant 8 years ago]

Yes, it has to be every 5th update. so the 5th, 10th, 15th and so on… I can’t get it to loop through that way. I appreciate your help.

[@tommyhares Participant 8 years ago]

Thanks for that. I tried writing a for loop using the modulus operator for every 5th post, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Is there a better way to do this?
