Can't set max_pages value

Hi simooo,
What are you setting max_pages to? Can you confirm what is going wrong?

Thanks for the quick reply! What I really want is to set it to infinity, but I wasn’t sure if there was an infinity setting (e.g. -1) so I started by trying some high numbers like 999 and 99, then I tried low numbers like 2. But it just doesn’t seem to have any effect, instead the default 5 pages are loaded.

This is the code. I didn’t include it originally because it’s a bit messy to read on account of the php.

echo do_shortcode( '[ajax_load_more tag__not_in="'.$sidebarTagId.'" offset="3" max_pages="99" scroll="true" posts_per_page="3" exclude="'.$sticky.'"]' );

0 would be infinity for the max_pages param.
It actually mentions this in the shortcode builder. Under the Max Pages description ??

Great to know – I couldn’t see that under Shortcode Parameters on the plugin’s page here on www.remarpro.com. I didn’t look further into it because I never got past the main hurdle of getting the max_pages parameter to actually take effect. Any thoughts on what could be going wrong?

It’s only on the shortcode builder page in your WordPress install.

It could be a css/layout issue. Can you share a link?

Ah, thanks! Now that you mentioned CSS I started wondering if it had to do with there not being enough “air” beneath the load more button so that the scroll event doesn’t get triggered. i started messing with the window size and it seems this was indeed the case.

The fact that it stopped after 5 pages was weirdly enough a coincidence that had to with the fact I’m using two columns that are loading independently and after 5 pages they happened to be of the same height.

Is there a setting which controls how far from the bottom of the window the scroll event is triggered?

Yea, scroll_distance.

Fantastic, thank you!
