Infinite Scroll and custom page template issues

You must use a standard WordPress loop. See https://jetpack.me/support/infinite-scroll/

You shouldn’t use query_posts. Check out this presentation:

should I create new WP_Query then?
The Query is on a custom page template called milestone.php do I need to do any thing with
private function archive_supports_infinity() {
return (bool) apply_filters( ‘infinite_scroll_archive_supported’, ( is_home() || is_archive() ), self::get_settings() );
}

As it is not an archive page
Many Thanks

At this time, Infinite Scroll doesn’t support custom queries within page templates. The module interacts with, and depends on, the main query, which in your case is the query that retrieves the requested page and its custom template.

This is a great suggestion and something we’ll consider for a future release.

+1 for this feature !
I use the plugin “The Loops” to display posts on pages and I would like to be able to use the infinite scroll with it.
If the Jetpack query could be filtered, it would be nice.

+1 ??

I’m using WP_Query() on my custom template and I need the infinity scroll on this page ^^

Support for additional WP_Query instances within a page template will require an overhaul of the current Infinite Scroll code. It is something we may consider for a future release, but currently there isn’t a timeframe for that consideration.

One more request for the Infinite Scroll on custom page templates.

Another request for infinite scroll on custom wp queries. Please?

sometimes we can’t chose between infinite scroll and custom queries, we just need both. so +1 for this feature asap!

We need this feature ASAP!

The ability to use custom queries and possibly have multiple ‘infinite scroll’ loops on a page (a sidebar and the main content area for example) would open up a world of possibilities.

Please please do this!

I agree! I use a custom code to randomize paged posts and I would like to be able to pass the order parameter to infinite scroll.

How can I contribute to getting this feature?

my website is:
https://zombieprepkit.com/

After doing some testing it appears as though this is how things load with infinite scroll on my site with random post order displayed as default=

Default Home Page – Loads Content Properly for this as page 1
Infinite Scroll – Paged 1 – reloads content properly with this as page 1
Infinite Scroll – Paged 2 – reloads content properly with this as page 2
Infinite Scroll – Paged 3 – reloads content properly with this as page 3

so… is there a way to, when using infinite scroll, force it to load the page through infinite scroll for the first loop and continue from there?

I will leave the example on https://zombieprepkit.com/?order=date for a day or two before I disable it again.

I can provide the code that randomizes things if needed but its using a form that submits values to be used in a query_posts() array
things are set by default to random and random posts are paged with a edit_posts_orderby statement that allows paged random posts to work… until Infinite Scroll is enabled!

I tried actually replacing
get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘index’ );
in my theme index file with:
twenty_ten_infinite_scroll_render();

but this didn’t seem to work, still the first page seems to load 2x in and then everything else loads properly

@ngoodfellow, it sounds like you’re looking for some custom code help that’s beyond the scope of plugin support. You might consider hiring help from a company such as WerkPress to see if what you want to do (or something similar) is possible without the overhaul of the Infinite Scroll code which would be required and which isn’t currently a planned update for the near future.

Guys,

In the file infinite-scroll.php

in Function shouldLoadJavascript() {

Replace

if (is_singular()) {
return false;
}

by

if (is_singular()) {
return true;
}
