 * I would like the new posts not to load until the user clicks the older posts 
   button. I am using the top default option on the settings page, but the older
   posts auto-load. This is a problem on mobile as the subsequent columns become
   difficult to reach.
    thx, John

 * Hi [@johnnya23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnnya23/),
    Set `pause="
   true"` in your shortcodes and ALM wont load anything until instructed.
 * Cheers,

 * thanks for the quick reply…
 * with more that one shortcode on a page this solution only seems to “pause” the
   first instance of loading on the first shortcode.

 * ok, left out a space, but still after the first set of posts loads the user can
   not control the rest of the loading?
