Struggling to get Previous Post add-on to work with do shortcode

This is my best attempt – untested.
This should be your single.php file.

<?php get_header();
	if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();   

   echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more previous_post="true" previous_post_id="'.get_the_ID().'" post_type="post" posts_per_page="1"]'); 

   endwhile;
endif;
get_footer(); ?>

And then your repeater template should something like:

<article>
<?php

$class = ( is_active_sidebar('primary') ) ? 'col-md-8 col-sm-12' : 'col-md-8 col-md-offset-2';
$thumbnail = has_post_thumbnail();

if( $thumbnail ) :
?>
<section class="section-header overlay preserve3d">
	<div class="background-image-holder parallax-background"><?php the_post_thumbnail('full', array('class' => 'background-image')); ?></div>
	<div class="container vertical-align">
		<div class="row">
			<div class="col-sm-7 col-sm-offset-">
			<?php the_title('<h1 style="color:white; font-weight:400!important; font-size: 48px!important;
			line-height: 50px!important;"}

			}">', '</h1>'); ?>
			</div>
		</div><!--end of row-->
	</div><!--end of container-->
</section>
<?php endif; ?>
<section <?php post_class(); ?>>
	<div class="container">
		<div class="row">
			<div class="<?php echo esc_attr($class); ?>">
				<div class="article-body">
					<?php
					if(!( $thumbnail ))
					the_title('<p>'. get_the_time(get_option('date_format')) .'</p><h1>','</h1>');
						the_content();
					the_tags('<div class="meta">' . __('Tags: ','meetup'),', ','</div>');
					?>
				</div><!--end of article snippet-->
			</div>
			<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
		</div>
	</div>
</section>
<?php
if( comments_open() ){
	global $withcomments;
	$withcomments = true;
	comments_template();
} ?>
</article>

It works! Thank you so much.
The only issue is that my sidebar has been replaced by ‘popular posts’, any idea why that may be? Cheers!

No idea, what’s suppose to be in your sidebar?

Apparently it just broke a plugin I was using in the sidebar, i’ve replaced and now it’s fine. Works great.

The only issue remaining is that the header images aren’t loading for the blogs the blogs Ajax load more pulls up. I’m not sure if this is something I should expect you guys to help me fix as this seems to be specific to my theme and not your plugin. Could you take a look and let me know if it’s an easy fix to the repeater template or if i should pay someone to figure it out? I’m not sure what the etiquette is here with paid plugins.

Thanks!

Is it possible to share a link? I don’t mind helping out at all because it helps me understand how I can improve docs on the add-on.

You may need to trigger some JS after ajax complete.

Sorry dcoony, I didn’t realise that i didn’t include one in the first post. https://93c.c95.mwp.accessdomain.com/2015/12/if-you-cant-measure-it-you-cant-manage-it-2/

Much appreciated, thanks!

the images are the “featured image” in the wordpress cms, the theme is Meetup. Cheers

Looks like the theme is using some parallax background effects so we will need some custom JS to trigger this.

I did a quick search of this file.
view-source:https://93c.c95.mwp.accessdomain.com/wp-content/themes/meetup/style/js/scripts.js?ver=4.4

and I see the function, but there isn’t a function we can trigger.

Alternatively, we can override the theme css to show the image. Right now it’s using the following to hide the image on page load.

.background-image-holder img{
display: none;
}

I’m happy to jettison the parallax, i’m trying to find out how to do that now. Over ridding the themes css sounds great, i’ve had a go at it myself but i can’t seem to get it consistent over multiple pages.

what would you apply to .background-image-holder img?

Thanks for your help!

You could try…

.single-post .background-image-holder img{
   display: none;
}

And by none, I meant block.

.single-post .background-image-holder img{
   display: block;
}
