    Hello! I am helping to make a website for a friend, so I am not an expert, and am having a little trouble getting the plugin to function. This is the site: http://www.bruhginnersguide.com

    I would like to use it on the main index.php page, but adding in the shortcode there loads all of the posts separately a second time and does the infinite scroll on those, instead of just making infinite scroll work on the posts that are already there. I hope I am explaining this alright. Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you!

    Hi worsthistorian,

    You would need to remove the previous loop and just use [ajax_load_more] shortcode on the index.php template.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the response! Is there a way to force the plugin to mimic the current look of the displayed posts? Or does that have to be designed from scratch?

    Yes, you should use the Repeater Template section of Ajax Load More in your WP admin to place the code you want repeated.

    Ajax load More will use this template to display your posts in the loop.

    Okay, I will give that a try! Thank you so much for helping, it’s very nice of you to, and to give this plugin to everyone for free.

    Hello! I have been working on using the repeater template to mimic the “timeline” layout the blog currently uses to display posts, but have not had much luck. Are there any examples somewhere I could look at on how to accomplish this, or some other documentation I could read on it? I think maybe I’m just confused on what exactly to put in the repeater template to force it to work, and it would help to see how the transition works. Thank you!

    The content you put in a repeater template is the content your want to loop over.

    For example, if your content container was set in a<ul> your repeater template should use a <li>Item Here</li>

    And this would output… as an example:

    • Item Here
    • Item Here
    • Item Here
    • Item Here
    • Item Here
    • Item Here

    Your site looked to be bit more difficult though because of the layout. It’s possible you may need some coding skills to accomplish your layout.
