 * Hi, everyone. I’m writing plugin and have a trouble with using add_filter. I 
   need to add some text **before** the loop on pages like archive.php, search.php,
   etc. except single.php. What [filter](http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference)
   i need to use?
    Tnx.

 * Well, there is no filter or action ‘before_the_loop’ or equivalent.
 * The easiest and safest way is to insert `<?php your_function(); ?>` inside header.
   php, for example, which is before The Loop begins.
