    hi

    i’m learning about WP themes and was looking at Automattic/_s git repo.

    i’m curious how jetpack uses add_theme_support for ‘infinite-scroll’ feature. i’ve never seen this before.

    can any theme use add_theme_support with a custom function like this to add specific functionality?

    i think i understand how it’s rendered with the callback function via the loop which seems simple enough (again, if i understand correctly).

    but are the ‘jetpack-content-options’ and ‘infinite-scroll’ arrays simply $args passed into add_theme_support?

    it’s kinda blowing my mind and i’d like to try to understand it.

    thank you <3

    All add_theme_support() does is add a key=>value pair to a global array. The key is checked by other code to determine if the theme supports what that code does or not. The value (passed as $args) has any added information which that code might need to know.

    If you want information specific to Jetpack, I suggest asking in their dedicated support forum.

    got it, thanks BCWorkz!

    i found some IS files in one of my installs and will look at those… interesting stuff although more advanced for my level.

    i suppose that’s how one increases knowledge and moves forward, however.

    wish me luck!

    and have a
