 * I have installed the Infinite-Scroll plugin and tweaked my site code in line 
   with the instructions to get it working. It works fine with ‘Behaviour’ set to‘
   Default’, i.e. when I scroll to the bottom of the home page the next posts load
   automatically.
 * I want to set the ‘Behaviour’ to ‘Manual Trigger’, so that new posts are added
   when a user clicks. However when I do this an scroll to the bottom of the home
   page, nothing happens.
 * Why might it not be working?
 * My Infinite-Scroll settings are as follows:
 * > Content selector: #content
   >  Navigation selector: #nav-below Next selector: #
   > nav-below a:first Item selector: .post
 * And my code structure is as follows:
 *     ```
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
       <?php do_action( 'bp_before_blog_post' ) ?>
   
       	<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
   
       	<div class="post-content">
   
       	<!-- Post content goes here -->
   
       	</div>
   
       	</div>
   
       <?php endwhile; ?>
   
       <?php do_action( 'bp_after_blog_post' ) ?>
   
       <?php bp_dtheme_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>
       ```
   
 * I’ve tried deactivating all the site’s themes except Buddypress, which it relies
   very heavily on.

 * curious if your “load more” link is not moving with the rest of the content. 
   I ran into a similar case today where I had the link inside the div that the 
   new content was getting appended to. Scrolled back up and re-found the “more”
   link, clicked it, and more content showed up below.
 * Solution: move the trigger link outside of the container you’re appending to.
