<\/a>Enable Infinite Scroll in Supported\u00a0Themes<\/h2>\n
Infinite scroll is one of 33 modules included in Jetpack, but unlike other modules, infinite scroll only works with themes that support it.<\/p>\n
If you have a “well-crafted\u201d theme, like one of the default WordPress themes, just add the following code to your functions.php file:<\/p>\n
{code type=php}
\nadd_theme_support( ‘infinite-scroll’, array(
\n‘container’ => ‘content’,
\n‘footer’ => ‘page’,
\n) );<\/p>\n
Enable Infinite Scroll in\u00a0Unsupported Themes<\/h2>\n
Developer Tyler Longren offers a neat solution for themes that aren\u2019t as well crafted as Twenty Eleven or Twenty Twelve.<\/p>\n
First, let\u2019s activate infinite scroll. Add the following to your functions.php file:<\/p>\n
{code type=php}
\nfunction mytheme_infinite_scroll_init() {
\nadd_theme_support( ‘infinite-scroll’, array(
\n‘container’ => ‘content’,
\n‘render’ => ‘mytheme_infinite_scroll_render’,
\n‘footer’ => ‘wrapper’,
\n) );
\n}
\nadd_action( ‘init’, ‘mytheme_infinite_scroll_init’ );<\/p>\n
Next, the render parameter specifies a function, in this case mytheme_infinite_scroll_init. This function uses the WordPress loop to load new posts for endless scrolling.<\/p>\n
To put this all together, also add this snippet to our functions.php file:<\/p>\n
{code type=php}
\nfunction mytheme_infinite_scroll_render() {
\nget_template_part( ‘loop’ );
\n}<\/p>\n
Infinite Scrolling is Still Not Working<\/h2>\n
If you can\u2019t get infinite scrolling to work with the code above, don\u2019t fret! It just means your theme hasn\u2019t been coded like many newer themes to support infinite scrolling.<\/p>\n
