Cannot get the loader on homepage correctly

Hi @uveananda,
You need to locate your homepage loop and replace that with your ALM shortcode.

Did you locate that loop?

Cheers,

Hi,

I found something like this in index.php:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

<div class=”c-posts”>

<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

Could you assit me where i have to paste my shortcode? Thank you.

Without seeing the entire template, I think you could replace:

<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
// loop
<?php endwhile; ?>

With:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more']); ?>

Just in case, I’ll paste a longer version because it seems to be different thing than what you thought:

<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php
/*
* Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
* If you want to override this in a child theme, then include a file
* called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part( ‘template-parts/content’, get_post_format() );
?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php ramza_print_posts_nav(); ?>

</div><!– .c-posts –>

<?php else : ?>

<?php get_template_part( ‘template-parts/content’, ‘none’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</main><!– .b-site-main –>

Thank you.

I think you can replace your while loop as I said above. Try it and let me know.

I’m still struggling to get it correctly. Whenever I paste it into the template, I get HTTP 500 error for my website.

You suggested I replace:

<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
// loop
<?php endwhile; ?>

With:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more']); ?>

Well, as I mentioned my code is not identical to the one you wrote as an example:

<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php
/*
* Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
* If you want to override this in a child theme, then include a file
* called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part( ‘template-parts/content’, get_post_format() );
?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

So I replaced this part of the code:

<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

With:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more']); ?>
And got the HTTP 500 error. I tried various different options as well but still got the error. Feeling a bit clueless as what to do now.

Hey, no worries.
If you want some help open a ticket here – https://connekthq.com/plugins/ajax-load-more/support/ and provide a link to the site so I can take a look.

Cheers,

Yeah, me too! I can’t find ANY information on how to actually implement this. I had to google the get any answers. You start of by talking about shortcodes and what have you … why not provide an example of how to use this (if you did, I sure wasn’t able to find it anywhere)?

When I do the above I get a blank site … !?

Why do things that are supposed to be very simply very often turn out to become a nightmare for some? Well, poor communication and a LOT of assumptions.

Sorry, if I sound harsh – not meant to. But boy, do one seem to waste a lot of time getting other peoples stuff to work. : )

OK, made the mistake of copy/pasting your code!

You have a typo:

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[ajax_load_more’]); ?>

Should be:
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[ajax_load_more]’); ?>
(brackets inside quotes)

But do I then have to restyle my whole site, as you replace the get_post_format() part that gererates output? Seems cumbersome.

Can I disable the auto load function? And only have to manually have to click the button?

Can I change the text on the button?

Hi @blaasvaer,
Yes, you can turn off auto load and change the button text. These are both shortcode parameters you can adjust with the shortcode builder.

Hope that helps.

like this;
[ajax_load_more pause="true" button_label="My Custom Text"]

Thanks, went for another solution, though. Spent way to much time digging around …
