# Adding ad code below X paragraphs?

 * I want to show adsense ads below the 4th and 20th paragraph of every blog post,
   ONLY if there is a 20th paragraph.
 * I managed to place the adsense below the 4th ad by placing the following code
   in my functions.php file, however I don’t know how to add an additional ad after
   the 20th.
 *     ```
       //Insert ads after second paragraph of single post content.
   
       add_filter( 'the_content', 'prefix_insert_post_ads' );
   
       function prefix_insert_post_ads( $content ) {
   
       $ad_code = '<div style="float:left;padding: 15px;"><script type="text/javascript">
           google_ad_client = "ca-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxx";
           google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxx";
           google_ad_width = 300;
           google_ad_height = 250;
       </script>
       <!-- Malben -->
       <script type="text/javascript"
       src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
       </script></div>';
   
       if ( is_single() && ! is_admin() ) {
       return prefix_insert_after_paragraph( $ad_code, 3, $content );
       }
   
       return $content;
       }
   
       // Parent Function that makes the magic happen
   
       function prefix_insert_after_paragraph( $insertion, $paragraph_id, $content ) {
       $closing_p = '</p>';
       $paragraphs = explode( $closing_p, $content );
       foreach ($paragraphs as $index => $paragraph) {
   
       if ( trim( $paragraph ) ) {
       $paragraphs[$index] .= $closing_p;
       }
   
       if ( $paragraph_id == $index + 1 ) {
       $paragraphs[$index] .= $insertion;
       }
       }
   
       return implode( '', $paragraphs );
       }
       ```
   
 * Please assist, thank you 🙂

 * Here is a similar example. I was using twentysixteen as my main theme and needed
   something like that. You might want to change some stuff because you don’t mention
   your own theme.
 * Assuming that each paragraph is cut via a 
    then the code would be like that:
 *     ```
       function adify_paragraphs($content) {
       	$tmp = $content;
       	$tmp = explode('<br />',$content);
       	$adcode = "<span style='color:red;'>hahaw</span>"; //replace with ad code here.
       	if (count($tmp)>4):
       			array_splice($tmp,4,0,$adcode);
       	endif;
       	if (count($tmp)>20):
       			array_splice($tmp,20,0,$adcode);
       	endif;
       	$cc = implode("<br/>",$tmp);
       	return $cc;
       }
       add_filter( 'the_content', 'adify_paragraphs');
       ```
   
 * If indeed you have paragraphs (<p>..</p>) then the starting code should be changed
   like this:
 *     ```
       function adify_paragraphs($content) {
       	$tmp = $content;
       	$tmp = explode('</p>',$content);
       	$adcode = "<p><span style='color:red;'>hahaw</span>";
       	if (count($tmp)>4):
       			array_splice($tmp,4,0,$adcode);
       	endif;
       	if (count($tmp)>20):
       			array_splice($tmp,20,0,$adcode);
       	endif;
       	$cc = implode("<p/>",$tmp);
       	return $cc;
       }
       add_filter( 'the_content', 'adify_paragraphs');
       ```
