Older Posts Loading Problem
-
One of the sites I manage is running this theme. They love it and it is so nice to see you recently updated the theme again Anders, thank you.
Not sure if you are aware of this, but the Older Posts button at the bottom of the sites homepage there is a glitch. I noticed it has been there since version 1.1.0 at least and I have tested it with Firefox and Chrome browser running in Windows 10, as well with the Safari browser on iOS portable devices. The problem is consistent with all browsers I have found.
We have set our site to load 12 posts initially on the homepage. As you know, when you click the Older Posts button it nicely loads the next set of older posts below the first set of older posts as a continuous scroll. Very nice feature.
But if you click Older Posts 3 times then it starts to crash after the 3rd click. So once 36 posts have been loaded on our site then the problem starts. So it seems to be able to load the first 2 sets of older posts, meaning the first 36 posts load without any difficulty. Then the third time you click Older Posts on our site it loads the next set of 12 older posts, but no longer lets you scroll below the second set of older posts.
If you try to scroll to see the 3rd set of older posts then it forces you back to the bottom of the second set of older posts. So all 48 posts get loaded, but it wont let you scroll past the first 36 posts.
In Safari on an iPhone you are not even able to load the first set of Older Posts before problems start happening, but the glitch is a bit different. In Safari the problem is a bit more of an issue than in Firefox or Chrome. When you click on Older Posts in Safari, even just with the first click, it loads a whole section of blank space below the first 12 posts. Then if you scroll through all the blank space to the bottom to get to the Older Posts button, the Older Posts button is there, but if you click it then nothing happens.
Not sure if you ever tested the theme yourself with a site that has more than enough in it as I see your demo site running the theme only contains a total of 14 posts and it is only setup with enough posts to click the Older Posts button just once.
Thanks and hoping there might be a solution for this problem.
