WordPress Infinite Scroll by Auto Load Next Post

Nejčastější dotazy

How does it work technically?

When a viewer reaches near the end of the article, the post navigation at the end of the post is used to identify and find the next post to load. It loads that post by inserting the content via a customizable repeater template and places the content underneath the parent post within the post container. This is done via Ajax.

It also detects what the viewer is reading and updates the browser URL address bar and page title to that post. Should the reader refresh the browser, the post they are currently reading would load as the new initial post.

All previous posts of the blog are still retained in the browser history and to top it off, each post read can be tracked as a pageview using Google Analytics.

Where can I find the settings for this plugin?

Is overriding the repeater template file required?

No. This was put in place to support themes that have coded their template files differently from WordPress theme code standards. For example, the Genesis Framework displays content via many action hooks instead so for this case overriding the template is a required.

Can I use JetPack Social Links and Like Button?

Yes. No further configuration is needed if you already have JetPack setup with social icons and like button.

Is it compatible with the JetPack’s related posts module?

This is not possible but it would also drive away the purpose of this plugin if related posts where to be displayed.

Can I load content before and after the next post has loaded?

Yes, you can. In the default repeater template, there are action hooks available that you can use.

After the first post has loaded, all I get is the same post over and over again. Why is that?

If you have this issue and you have created a custom repeater template file to support the theme then you may have placed the post navigation outside of the post query.

You need to place it inside the loop. If that is not the case then you have not included the content of the post correctly according to the theme you are using.

Does the plugin detect my theme and insert the theme selectors for me?

If the theme author has added support for Auto Load Next Post and has set the theme selectors then yes, it will set the theme selectors for you. If not supported then it does not. You may follow this guide to help you find your theme selectors.

My theme does not work with the plugin, what do I do?

Check that you have a post navigation at the end of your post. If one does exists then you may need to copy and modify the repeater template file content-alnp.php in order to support your theme.

Not all themes are coded the same way so some alterations will be needed to match the theme. If you need help with this then I can provide theme support on request.

What is the post order?

The post order is descending order from the initial post the visitor started reading from.

How can I get the Google Analytics option to work?

You first need to have Google Analytics added to your site. Either by inserting the analytics into your theme yourself or by using the Google Analytics plugin by MonsterInsights.

Once you have Google Analytics applied to your site you can enable to track each post via the plugin settings.

Can I track Facebook Pixels instead?

You can. All you have to do is simply install the Facebook Pixel Tracking add-on and activate. All that is required is that you have your Facebook Pixel tracker installed on the site first.

Does Auto Load Next Post support WordPress Network / Multisite websites?

It does. Just make sure that you activate the plugin on the site you want it used on and then make sure the selectors match the theme that site is using.
