Now, even WordPress is officially promoting ‘Infinite Scrolling’ through Jetpack,
However, we still don’t have it here. Even, the copycat clone of our beloved Newspaper theme, “Newspaper Magazine AMP – Publisher” have this ‘Infinite Scrolling’ feature but in spite of multiple requests here, The TagDiv dev. says that they didn’t find any viable solution for this and hence they don’t have it here yet.
I don’t know why aren’t you looking at this feature seriously. đ
Regards.
Hello,
Jetpack has this feature for a long time now, it is not a new thing.
It is a decision made by our developers. When and if it will be decided upon, we will implement it into our theme. Until such time, we cannot offer any solutions in this regard as you already know. There are certain functionalities that need proper solutions and viable for the proper functionality of the theme and for the ease of use for users and developers alike. If we find a viable solution for this problem we will announce it.
Thank you!
why is this being advertised as a feature if it not possible?
This is what comes up in google.

What am I missing here?
“infinite scroll” of home page elements to load ‘more news items’ is not the same as ajax loading entirely new posts infinitely from bottom of a post page. Theme has had that for loooooong time.
If I add a news block on the page at the bottom and set it for infinite load, then it loads infintly until it runs out of articles.
To be honest,
I have been researching on infinite loading for a long time and the only way for it to work with this theme is to use a plugin Ajax Load More since it has a feature called Ajax Cache.
The reason why I don’t recommend this theme to use infinite loading is that of the way the core engine of works. Almost all the queries are using the admin-ajax.php to process the load and if your website is low impact then you don’t have to worry but once the traffics are above 1000+ view, you will regret using infinite loading especially those requests are not cached.
Just my 2 cents.
Peace
Hi IamLegend,
Are you talking about this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/ajax-load-more/ ? Does it work out of box or do we need to do some extra settings inside?
Also, Can you please tell me whether you think that the issue of infinite loading for high traffic site is only with this plugin or you are talking about otherwise as well. I mean, how do you see the impact on speed due to infinite loading or ‘Auto load next post’ on sites using ‘Jnews’ ( Demo here )or ‘Publisher’ theme ( Demo here ) functionality?
Thank you.
Nano,
Ajax Load More will work out of the box for basic layout if you want it to adapt to Newspaper template you have to do some custom css. Remember to get their add-on Ajax Cache.
I don’t own Jnews or Publisher theme so I don’t know how they work.
Yes, with high traffic site you don’t want to use Newspaper’s infinite loading feature. It will suck the living hell out of your server bandwidth because most of the queries are going thru admin-ajax.php.
