  I have the Ideation and Intent theme in WordPress and I love the infinite scrolling feature of the blog posts. I understand (from a previous forum response) that the preset for the photo column is to show photos from up to ten past posts. Is there any way to change this column to have infinite scrolling as well?

  Thanks!

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

  In a word the answer to your question is “no”. Sorry.

  thanks for your response.

  is there a perhaps more than one word answer on why that is? i am slowly learning the back end of things and i feel this would be helpful to know.

  thanks again~

  It’s not possible for us to change how any theme is designed to function at WordPress.COM. We can make appearance changes only.

  WordPress.COM is a multiuser blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture and we bloggers cannot access and edit templates. All blogs wearing the same theme are using the same underlying template and any edits made would impact every blog wearing the same theme.

  got it. i guess i thought it would be an appearance change, like changing a column’s width (just vertically and then more content could go in it).

  No that is a functionality change. There’s more to it than column width.
