# Adding Elements after Specified Paragraphs

When using **Kadence Elements** *(available in [Theme Kit Pro)](https://www.kadencewp.com/kadence-theme/premium/)*, you may have noticed the *“After First, Second, Third, and Fourth Paragraphs”* **Element** **Placement** options.

![Element Settings](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Element-Settings.jpg)

But what if you want to add a **Hooked** **Element** to a paragraph beyond the *4th* one? You can achieve this by customizing and using a **Code** **Snippet**.   
  
Code snippets can be added to the `functions.php` file of a [child theme ](https://www.kadencewp.com/blog/child-themes/)or through a plugin like Code Snippets. You can read documentation on using the Code Snippets Plugin [here](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/kadence/blocks/add-custom-filter-or-function-with-code-snippets/).

**Code Snippet**

```php
add_action( 'the_content', 'myplugin_inject_content' );
function myplugin_inject_content( $content ) {

    $additional_content = do_shortcode('');

    if ( is_single() ) {
        $paragraph_position = 8; //position start from 0; position 8 will show the element content after the 9th paragraph
        $content = myplugin_prefix_insert_after_paragraph( $additional_content, $paragraph_position, $content );      
    }

    return $content;
}
function myplugin_prefix_insert_after_paragraph( $additional_content, $paragraph_position, $content ) {
    $paragraphs = explode( '</p>', $content );
    foreach ($paragraphs as $key => $paragraph) {
        //add closing p back
        if ( trim( $paragraph ) != '' ) {
            $paragraphs[$key] .= '</p>';
        }
        //add additional content at the wanted position 
        if ( $paragraph_position == $key ) {
            $paragraphs[$key] .= $additional_content;
        }
    }

    return implode( '', $paragraphs );
}
```

This code snippet requires two modifications. The first modification is on the **4th** line of code:  
`$additional_content = do_shortcode();`

  
Inside the parentheses and quotes, you should paste your **Element’s Shortcode**.  
  
You can find your *Element* *Shortcode* by navigating to **Dashboard -> Appearance -> Kadence -> Elements** and checking the element details.

![ElementID](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ElementID-scaled-1.jpg)Once you have found the Element ShortCode, you can paste it inside of the provided **Code** **Snippet**. This should make the **4th** line of code look something like this:

`$additional_content = do_shortcode('[[kadence_element id="2297"]]');`

The next modification is to specify which **Paragraph** the element will display after. This is located on the **7th** line of code:  
`$paragraph_position = 8;`  
  
You can adjust the number `8` to match the specific paragraph number you want the element to display after. Keep in mind that paragraph counting in this custom code starts from `0`, **not** `1`. So, if the paragraph position is set to `8`, the element will display after the **9th** paragraph.  
  
With this snippet, you can place the **Hooked** **Element** deeper into the content than the default options allow, making Hooked Elements even more customizable.
