  Pages are a form of content, like posts, and as such cannot contain posts.

  Instead, I recommend utilizing your categories and category archive pages.

  Let me rephrase what I mean. I want my blog posts to break into another page at some point so that it is not one endless scroll of posts. You know what I mean?

  Your theme features Infinite Scroll, so readers just have to scroll down to view more posts and don’t have to be bothered with any sort of “Next Page” link.

  At this time, you can work-around that by adding a blank Text widget to any Footer widget area, as Footer widgets disable Infinite Scroll, and a blank Text widget will essentially be invisible.

  OK…
  I thought the infinite scroll might cause loading problems for some due to their internet speed. I don’t see a problem on my end though.

  Infinite Scroll only loads 7 posts at a time. Once you scroll down to post #7, the next 7 posts are loaded, so there won’t be any impact on performance.
