After I released my first WordPress theme to public, I make another theme for my site, CypherFS Royale . Then an idea sparkling into my head. Why not I make a tutorial on how to make WordPress theme to public? I’m sure there are many peoples are looking to make their own theme for their website. So lets get started.

But before we proceed, I want to tell you first that this tutorial only covers on how to set the layout and the tags or functions needed to make your WordPress theme works perfectly. It is really basic. I will not teach you html, css and php here. You need to learn them by yourself. There are many tutorials available on the net. I’m sure you can found them in ease.

Ok, I split this tutorial to 7 parts. Here are some details for each part.

Display AdSense in certain Posts in WordPress

8 December 2006 6 Comments

James emailed me on how I display my adsense in certain posts. As you can see on my homepage, there is an adsense above the content in my first post. And after the first post, there is another post that has adsense but without content. To do it, you just need to put a counter. We create the counter by using PHP.

First we need to declare the variables that we want to use.

$postnum – This variable use for count how many posts in the loop
$showads# – This variable is use the adsense that we want to display.

Note: Replace the # with number, eg: 1, 2, etc.

Ok here is the trick. Put this PHP code before the loop.

<?php
$postnum = 1; //Define the initial value
$showads1 = 1; //This mean it will be display in post #1
$showads3 = 3; //This mean it will be display in post #3
?>
