Wordpress loop : get current post count inside The Loop - jenellejenesia375 - 07-27-2023
When inside The Loop, I want to retrieve the current post count.
For example, after every 3 posts, I want to insert an ad.
So, how do I get the value of the loop count?

Why not incrementing a variable then display your ads when needed?
while(LOOP)
echo $i%3==0 ? $ad : '';
$i++

Unsure why, but the suggested methods didn't work out for me, I had to resort to the following
$loop_counter = 1;
while( $query->have_posts() )
{
//Do your thing $query->the_post(); etc
$loop_counter++;
}
Safer than playing with globals if you ask me.

You can use the `current_post` member of the [`WP_Query`][1] object instance to get the current post iteration;
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
// your normal post code
if ( ( $wp_query->current_post + 1 ) % 3 === 0 ) {
// your ad code here
}
endwhile;
Note, if you're using this inside a function, you'll need to globalise `$wp_query`.
