Disable Infinite Scroll with Custom CSS?

  • okaerikudamatsu · Member ·

    Anyone know how I can disable infinite scroll with the Custom CSS upgrade? Is this at all possible? Cheers and Thank you!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Yes you can although I’ve not tried this, and not sure is staff may have slammed the door shut. Apparently there will be a way to turn it off coming this next week.

    @wank came up with this solution via CSS:

    Since the replies are closed on the original, I add my comment to this “improvement” of putting the infinite scroll. Now,

    1. you cannot specify how many posts you prefer on a page
    2. after about 10 posts, the infinite scroll kicks in AND YOU GET THAT DARN BAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.
    3. So basically, we have “lost control” of how many posts we want our readers to see.

    My recommendation: GET RID OF THIS SO-CALLED “IMPROVEMENT” or, as some have said, make a brand new them out of it.

    Bottom line, PLEASE DON’T MESS WITH MY THEME.

    I just answered an email on how to restore footer widgets to Twenty-Eleven and thought I’d share it here. In addition to the previous code, try:

    .infinite-scroll #colophon {
display:block;
position:static;
margin-left:0;
width:100%;
}
#supplementary {
display:block !important;
}

    You still get the annoying wait as it tries to load stuff but it’s better than nothing. Twenty-Ten is proving more intransigent thanks to the silly pop-up behaviour of the current footer, but I’ll keep poking at it until we get a proper opt-out.

    argh why does it keep adding extra code tags? [kicks forum]

  • designsimply · Member ·

    @wank, when I checked, there were html tags causing the strange code behavior. I fixed it above. Seems like they were maybe copy/pasted in from another source? I’m not 100% sure what caused it in your case, but try copying and pasting to a plain text file first to avoid it.

    Why is it on this blog below the infinite scroll feature is absent? How can I do that with my blog of the same theme?

    I tried testing that code posted in this thread, and it didn’t work for me on Twenty Ten or Twenty Eleven.

    It’s probably not something that you should try to block using CSS. Can you please just wait a while instead to see what else shakes out?

    @jackelliott1, Infinite Scroll works on the home page http://originalribenababy.wordpress.com/

    It doesn’t affect individual posts such as http://originalribenababy.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/beautiful-lake-mburo/

  • jackelliott1 · Member ·

    Thank you. Guess I should have spent a few more minutes trying to figure that out on my own before asking for help. Doh!

  • designsimply · Member ·

    Not at all! It’s a good question and if you had it, I’m sure other people will too. Maybe they will find this thread and it will help them. :)

    Infinite Scroll is now an option when footer widgets are present. You can find the option under Settings → Reading when two conditions are met:

    1. You are using a theme that supports infinite scroll
    2. You have added footer widgets

    @designsimply, certainly the best news all day. <3

    Our features are always being updated and changed and improved. We do listen to feedback, but also keep in mind that decisions sometimes go through different teams or decision makers and sometimes features don’t get changed for different reasons even if there’s opposition by some in the forums. Features are still always subject to change. We love you guys, and we are trying to make the very best blogging software out there for a pretty wide audience, a challenge and an honor. :)

    Cheers.

    I agree with Justjennifer – certainly the best news all day! We love you guys too Designsimply, we just don’t have to like everything you do!

    One key thing for people to remember going forward (since this will be virtually site-wide likely sooner rather than later) is that the option to turn off infinite scrolling will only be available on themes that have footer widget where footer widgets are used.

    Infinite Scroll is now an option when footer widgets are present.

    Those using themes without footer widget areas will not have the option to turn infinite scrolling off.

    A half victory at best, but at least it is something.

    @TSP, I have a feeling themes with footer widgets will get very popular! Mine has footer widgets in use so at least I won’t have to move my blog or change themes.

    @designsimply
    In addition to what thesacredpath posted above me. Also note that despite this change we bloggers are still not able to control the number of posts that appear on our front page of our blogs wearing Twenty Eleven and Twenty Ten as we did previously here > Settings > Reading. Please restore that ability.

    Our features are always being updated and changed and improved. We do listen to feedback, but also keep in mind that decisions sometimes go through different teams or decision makers and sometimes features don’t get changed for different reasons even if there’s opposition by some in the forums.

    I could be wrong, but when the word feedback is being used I believe it is being used in this manner and that’s what is so upsetting to me. Surpise! you have a new feature. Isn’t it cool? If you despise the feature and want it to be removed immediately then don’t bother to share that with us because we aren’t going to listen to you. We are seeking “controlled feedback” only and that means please help us develop this feature whether or not you despise it and want it to be removed.

    The onely thing this has done is fix the footer widget issue. Nothing else.

    To everyone else: “Eat what is on your plate or go hungry.”

    Lame.
