How to show more posts on landing page

  • Sorry for asking. I have the plugin installed and have 10 posts I created. On my wordpress home page (which is using the WP Query Loop), I don’t want to show all 10 posts, but instead only 5. I then want a button that says “show more”, and if clicked, it loads more posts to the page.

    Is this possible with this plugin? If so what is the easiest way to do that?

    Thanks for any guidelines

    Hi @blackawxs,
    Yes, this is what the plugin is for.

    You need to add the shortcode to your page and set up a repeater template.

    If you install the plugin, check out the How To section for more info on this.

    Hi @blackawxs,
    Just following up… were you able to get the plugin installed and running on your site?

    Cheers,

    Ok, this is my first time diving in. I didn’t see an option in the plugin menu for “How To” but I found a section called Examples. I also found a section called “Shortcode builder” I built a shortcode and see how easy it is to stick it on a widget. But the widget for “Content Bottom 1” only displays on post pages. How do I place this shortcode on the landing page of my WordPress site, so that it impacts my WP Query Loop of all listed posts?

    Can this process be solved from within the wp-admin User Interface? or do I need to go into code editer and edit a specific page?, or is there code to place in functions.php? If I do go edit a php file directly, what should the code look like (because shortcodes are for wysiwyg editors usually)?

    Thanks

    Dcooney is this as easy as simply placing a do action event in my php page like this…

    echo do_shortcode(‘[ajax_load_more’]);
