Ability to add inline static blocks inside CMS rich text for Adsense ad slots or custom static content

I cannot find a way to add inline ad slots or even a newsletter form after a specific number of paragraphs inside a CMS article. When building the article, you need to insert "Rich text" to populate the article body, which doesn't allow you to design anything inside it.


However, it's important to be able to add inline ad slots after x number of paragraphs, or even add a newsletter form to bring more leads, but currently, either you add it above or below the article body content.

I hope there's a way to do it without modifying each post/article manually.

    Adding inline static blocks like Adsense ad slots or custom content within a CMS rich text element can be challenging, but there are a few approaches you can consider:

    Custom Code Injection:

    You can use JavaScript to dynamically insert ad slots or custom content after a specific number of paragraphs. This method requires some coding knowledge but offers flexibility myAARPMedicare

    Example:

    JavaScript

    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {

    const paragraphs = document.querySelectorAll('.rich-text p');

    const adSlot = '<div class="ad-slot">Your Ad Here</div>';

    const insertAfter = 3; // Insert after the 3rd paragraph

    if (paragraphs.length > insertAfter) {

    paragraphs[insertAfter].insertAdjacentHTML('afterend', adSlot);

    }

    });

    CMS Features or Plugins:

    Some CMS platforms offer plugins or built-in features that allow you to insert custom content within articles. For example, WordPress has plugins like “Ad Inserter” that can automate this process.

    Check if your CMS has similar plugins or extensions that can help.

    Rich Text Enhancers:

    Tools like the Rich Text Enhancer by Refokus or the Powerful Rich Text tool by Finsweet can add classes, IDs, or custom attributes to rich text elements, enabling more advanced styling and functionality.

    Template Modifications:

    If you have access to the CMS templates, you can modify them to include placeholders for ads or custom content. This approach might require some backend development but can be very effective.

    Manual Insertion with Shortcodes:

    If your CMS supports shortcodes, you can manually insert shortcodes within the rich text editor to place ads or custom content. This method is less automated but can be useful for specific cases.
