# Getting the loop incrementation index (-> if %3)

 * Hi again !
 * I’m continuing my wonderful uses of your plugin, and it’s still as awesome ! 
   🙂
 * I had a quick question though : **is there a way to get the incrementation index
   of the loop ? **
    What I mean by that is that I want to put some code of a field
   value only on the modulo 3 outputs of the loop (so every 3 results). The final
   purpose is to generate a row every 3 items.
 * Is it possible with an [if something] ? Or is it related to the pagination query(
   [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/pagination-133](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/pagination-133))
 * Cheers !
    Regards, – nyoz

 * Hello,
 * I added a few parameters to the [if] shortcode to achieve what you described.
   Please see the latest update.
 * To display something on every 3 results:
 *     ```
       [loop type="post"]
           [content field="title"]
           [if every="3"]
               <hr>
           [/if]
       [/loop]
       ```
   
 * In addition, there’s [if first] and [if last] to display something on the first
   or last post.
 * Hopefully these can be combined to do what you wanted. As I was testing these,
   I realized it’s not so simple to add opening and closing tags around 3 posts 
   at a time, if the total number of posts is not divisible by 3.
 * So, please let me know if it works for you.
 * As for the pagination add-on, it’s taken me longer than planned, but I’m working
   on it. 🙂

 * Works like a charm ! I’m adding a <div class=”clearfix”></div> every 3 items,
   and the global container is declared outside the loop, so there’s no issue if
   the total isn’t %3.
 * Thanks again for your reactivity, amazing ! 🙂

 * Perfect, I’m glad it worked for your purpose.
