在WordPress循环中获取每4个帖子

Question

I am currently trying to a create a feature on my category pages where on every 4th preview post, within the category an advert block is display.

essential it will work the following way:

1. post 1
2. post 2
3. post 3
4. post 4

ADVERT BLOCK

1. Post 5
2. Post 6

In my <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

I have the following:

<?php $i = 0; ?>
<?php if (post_num ($i%4 == 0)  < (5 - $featured_count)) : echo "this works"; endif ?>

can someone guide me in the right direction

Your more or less there, here's a quick example just showing some arbitrary text or the post title:

<?php
    $counter = 0;

    if (have_posts()) {
        while (have_posts()) {
            $counter++;
            the_post();

            if ($counter % 5 === 0) { 
                echo 'Advert Here!';
            } else {
                the_title();
            }
        }
    }
?>

I haven't tested this, but just to give you an idea.

Edit: I should note that since you're looking to insert the advert after the fourth post, $counter % 4 won't do what you think, if you want to show four posts and then the advert, it would be placed in the 5th "position", hence $counter % 5.
