[Support request] Hooks a button into a post before an H2 headline

Hi there,

there are no hooks inside you content, but you can filter the_content, to insert a shortcode which in turn outputs a Hook for you. Add this PHP Snippet to do that:

add_shortcode('portable_hook', function($atts){
	ob_start();
        $atts = shortcode_atts( array(
            'hook_name' => 'no foo'
        ), $atts, 'portable_hook' );
		do_action($atts['hook_name']);
	return ob_get_clean();
});

add_filter( 'the_content', 'insert_element_eleventh', 30 );
function insert_element_eleventh( $content ) {
    global $post;
    $inserted_hook = do_shortcode('[portable_hook hook_name="after_second_heading"]');
    if ( is_single() && ! is_admin() ) {
        return prefix_insert_after_paragraph( $inserted_hook, 2, $content );
    }
    return $content;
}

function prefix_insert_after_paragraph( $insertion, $paragraph_id, $content ) {
  $closing_p = '</h2>';
  $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 );
}

It will create a custom hook called: after_second_heading

You can change the hook name if you want on this line:
$inserted_hook = do_shortcode('[portable_hook hook_name="after_second_heading"]');

And this line the number 2 is where it sets which H2 to appear after:

return prefix_insert_after_paragraph( $inserted_hook, 2, $content );

The code is PHP – this article explains how to add it to your site:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

Then in your Block element, set the Hook to Custom and in the custom hook field paste in: after_second_heading

In the code:

Remove this:

function prefix_insert_after_paragraph( $insertion, $paragraph_id, $content ) {
  $closing_p = '</h2>';
  $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 );
}

And add this:

function prefix_insert_after_paragraph( $insertion, $paragraph_id, $content ) {
    $closing_p = '<h2>';
    $paragraphs = explode( $closing_p, $content );
    if ($paragraphs) {
        $paragraphs[0] = $paragraphs[0].'<h2>'.$insertion;
    }    
    return implode( '<h2>', $paragraphs );
}
