Auto-Injection
Auto-injection gives you the option to blend your regular posts with ads, newsletters, or products. These “special” items are to encourage your users to action, in an unobtrusive way.
Auto-Injection Recommended Setup
For each item type you have to choose where to place the first item (Inject at position field) and after how many items repeat injection (Repeat after each X positions field, leave empty to not repeat). Please don’t set up repetitions to eg. 1. This can break counters and end up with unexpected behaviors. Best if you inject each type just once on a page. You don’t want to distract your users with so many “no post” items.
Example
- Newsletter – inject at position 2, repeat 11 (if you have 12 items per page, 11 value will keep injection in the same position on all next pages)
- Ad – inject at position 5, repeat 11
- Product – inject at position 8, repeat 11
Auto-Injected Newsletter
To use this option, you need a plugin that handles the newsletter subscription process for you. We recommend the MailChimp for WordPress plugin. After theme activation, you should be asked to install it or you can do that later, manually via the WordPress Admin › Appearance › Install Plugins page.

Auto-Injected Ad
To use this option you need a plugin for ads. We recommend the AdAce plugin.
After theme activation, you should be asked to install it or you can do that later, manually via the WP Dashboard › Appearance › Install Plugins page.
Auto-Injected Product
To use this option you need a plugin for products. We recommend the WooCommerce plugin. After activating the plugin, set up your products and fill the Inject products from category field to inject only products from selected categories into your home page posts collection. Choose the “none” option to get recent products.
