infinite scroll loading only last post

  • My JetPack’s infinite scrolling script is loading only the last post everytime I click on the “older posts” button. I think it has to do with the custom things I made to the loop on the index, cause I have two different sections for posts: one, for the latest post (more prominent, with the excerpt showing and other meta data) and second, a ul list of the next 15 posts (just the dates and excerpts).

    Could anyone help me get this straight? I’d like infinite scroll to show the next (number of posts set on the reading options) posts when I click the button (err, AKA normal behavior).

    This is the code on my functions.php

    // infinite scroll
function infinite_scroll_render() {
    get_template_part( 'content-post', 'standard' );
}

function anw_infinite_scroll_init() {

	add_theme_support( 'infinite-scroll', array(
		'type'				=> 'click',
		'container'			=> 'load-more-posts',
		'wrapper'			=> false,
		'render'			=> 'infinite_scroll_render',
		'posts_per_page'	=> 100,
	));

}

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'anw_infinite_scroll_init' );

    I set “post per page” to 100 to test but it doesn’t matter what number I put in there.

    This is my full index.php

    <?php get_header(); ?>

<section id="intro">
<div class="wrapper">
	<h2>About this site</h2>
	<!-- <p class="tagline">Summary of what this Blog is about</p> -->
	<p><?php echo get_theme_mod( 'text_option_about', 'default_value' ); ?></p>
	<p><a href="/about/" title="About this site">Learn more</a>.</p>
</div><!-- .wrapper -->
</section><!-- #intro -->

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
	<?php $count = 0; ?>
<section id="last-post">
<div class="wrapper">
	<p class="pre-title"><?php echo get_theme_mod( 'text_option_latest', 'default_value' ); ?></p>
	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<?php $count++; ?>

	<?php if ($count <= 1) : ?>
	<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>

	<div class="last-post-excerpt">
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
		<p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to <?php the_title(); ?>">Read the full post...</a></p>
	</div><!-- .post-excerpt -->

	<div class="post-meta">
		<ul>
			<li class="meta-published"><strong>Published:</strong> <?php the_date('Y-m-d'); ?> @ <?php echo get_the_time(); ?></li>
			<li class="meta-categories"><strong>Categories:</strong> <?php the_category(', '); ?></li>
			<li class="meta-comments"><a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>" title="Go to post comments"><?php comments_number( 'No comments', 'One comment', '% comments' ); ?> (add one?)</a></li>
		</ul>
	</div><!-- .post-meta -->

	<br clear="all" />

</div><!-- .wrapper -->
</section><!-- #last-post -->

<section id="latest-posts">
<div class="wrapper">

	<p class="pre-title">More recent posts:</p>
	<ul>
	<?php else : ?>
		<li><a class="permalink" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
			<span><?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?></span> <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
			<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
			</a>
		</li>
	<?php endif; ?>
	</ul>
	<?php endwhile; ?>

	<?php else : ?>

<?php endif; ?>

	<ul id="load-more-posts">
	</ul>

</div><!-- .wrapper -->
</section><!-- #latest-posts -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Reading settings: 16 posts (in my case, for the latest post and for the ul with the next 15).

    And my site is: lozbo.info .

    I am not a developer so I don’t even remember how I came with that “solution” for separating the posts, I don’t know if this can be considered “two loops on the same page”, I probably copied or read it in a tutorial, so maybe the solution is simple but it exceeds my (basic) php understanding.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    I must admin that Infinite Scroll queries aren’t my strongest point, so thanks for your patience as we work through this.

    The container shouldn’t be the load-more-posts, but the container of all of your posts. We’ll attach the new posts to that container. In your case, it looks like wrapper the container I’d try.

    The way you have them split is unique, but I’m not certain if that is enough to cause the problem you’re seeing.

    At the moment, I’m not seeing an Older Posts button. Have you disabled it?

    Thanks!

    Yes, I disabled it ’cause it ain’t workin’ rite now. But I’ll try your suggestion and let you know…

    I tried using a “path” for the selector (the ‘container’ value of the functions.php script) and set it as follows:

    'container'			=> 'latest-posts .wrapper ul',

    But certainly didn’t work. Since that didn’t work I tried adding an ID to the div.wrapper, ’cause it didn’t have one and I can’t target classes in that ‘container’ value. So I tried using “latest-posts-wrapper”, and it showed the “load more posts” at the bottom of the list, but still it loads only the last post (same problem still).

    I switched then to .wrapper’s parent div above (latest-posts), as follows:

    'container'			=> 'latest-posts',

    But still no good: it loads only the last post. As I said, I assume that it has to do with the way I’m calling the loop on the index, somewhere in here:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
	<?php $count = 0; ?>
<section id="last-post">
<div class="wrapper">
	<p class="pre-title"><?php echo get_theme_mod( 'text_option_latest', 'default_value' ); ?></p>
	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<?php $count++; ?>

	<?php if ($count <= 1) : ?>

    =(
