 * Hello.
 * I just want to know why your plugin doesn’t work on themes with an auto load 
   posts function? When I scroll down to the next posts -and the url switch up of
   course- it doesn’t count a new visit for the new post.
 * Is there a code I may to put on functions.php or somewhere?

 * For two reasons:
    1. Auto-loading the next post isn’t a native function from WordPress. This feature
       is included via third-party plugins and/or heavy theme customization.
    2. The plugin has no way to know that you’re using a plugin/script to autoload 
       the next post on scroll, so it doesn’t know that a post has been loaded this
       way.

 * There might be a way but again it depends on how the post autoloading has been
   implemented.
 * Please get in touch with the theme developer and ask them how to you can send
   a [POST request to update the views count](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/issues/207#issuecomment-454596292)
   of an autoloaded post.

 * I don’t understand anything of that 😕

 * That’s why I suggested to get in touch with the developer of your theme. They
   should be able to help you implement this integration.
 * Alternatively, [I’m available for freelance work](https://cabrerahector.com/about/#say-hi)
   if you’re up for it.
