Infinity Scroll & Read More Button

Hi @guizillanet,

Firstly, I have to tell you that the theme is awesome.

I’m glad to hear that the theme’s working well for you! ??

Secondly, I noticed that the theme has a problem with Infinity Scroll. In fact, scrolling is blocked at seven articles, then no more article can load! Is it normal? How can I fix it?

Infinite scroll is working correctly with Intergalactic on my own test site. Posts load seven at a time upon scroll, as expected.

Could you share a link to your site so that I can see that problem there for myself and help you troubleshoot?

As a first step: I recommend deactivating each of your plugins (except for Jetpack) one by one to see if there’s a conflict causing the issue.

Thirdly and finally, I want to change the “Read-More” button text and I would know how to do that. Can you explain it to me?

What are you trying to change the “read more” text to?

If you’re looking to translate that text into another language, then translations can be submitted via the theme’s GlotPress project here:

If you’re looking to change the text to something else entirely, the the most straightforward approach would be to use some custom CSS.

To add custom CSS: Firstly set up a child theme or activate a custom CSS plugin. If you have Jetpack installed then you can activate its custom CSS module.

Enter the following snippet in either the editor for your CSS plugin or the style.css file of your child theme:

a.more-link {
    visibility: hidden;
}

a.more-link:before {
    content: "Example";
    visibility: visible;
    font-size: .778em;
    font-weight: bold;
    display: block;
    max-width: 330px;
    margin: 1.5em auto;
    padding: .75em 0;
    -webkit-transition: .3s all ease-in-out;
    -moz-transition: .3s all ease-in-out;
    transition: .3s all ease-in-out;
    text-align: center;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    color: white;
    border: 2px solid white;
}

In the above snippet, replace “Example” with the text you wish to display alongside the button.

Let me know how you get on with the above or if you have any extra questions.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Don’t worry about my loading problem. I fixed it. It came from my older caching plugin. I changed it.

Then, you entirely understood what I want. I’ll take your CSS code and integrate it to my child-theme.

I really thank you for your efficient support.

NB : I will use your advices on https://www.guizilla.net and fio.guizilla.net. Don’t hesitate to leave your opinion in anyway.

I’m glad you got infinite scroll working and that the CSS I provided helps out! ?? Feel free to start a new thread on this forum if any extra questions come up.

About the CSS code for the button… It works on mobile version but not on PC and I don’t really understand why… An idea ?

I did some testing and found that the custom CSS doesn’t work correctly on Internet Explorer. It does, however, work well across Google Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.

The custom CSS needed to workaround this issue for Internet Explorer is fiddly and I believe that changing the wording via the theme’s underlying code will be more straightforward in the long run.

The first step to do this is for you to set up a child theme.

In case you’re unsure, the following guides provide a good introduction to child themes, including steps to set one up:

• https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes
• https://wordpress.tv/2015/05/12/kathryn-presner-getting-comfortable-with-child-themes/

After you have completed that step, copy the parent’s content-home.php file to your child theme’s directory and then open it in your favourite text/code editor.

Locate the following code, which will appear twice, in that file:

__( 'Read more %s', 'intergalactic' ),

Replace “Read more” with the text you wish to display in the above pieces of code.

Let me know how that goes.

Thanks for all. I won’t have any time to do this for a moment, so I will notify you when it will be done.

Sorry for my langage, I’m not really good in English.

Your English is perfect! ?? I hope my guidance was clear and do let me know if questions come up.

Your guidance was perfect, so you can see changes now. You should see “VOIR LA GALERIE” on Guizilla.net and “LIRE CET ARTICLE” on fio.guizilla.net. And, I think it works on IE too.

So, if you’re interested in photography, don’t hesitate to subscribe to my newsletter on Guizilla.net.

My problems are resolved. Thanks to you !

Perfect! I’m so glad that helped out! Don’t hesitate to start a new thread with any extra questions and best of luck with your site. ??
