Please stop loading!!

    I am very pleased with my current Lovecraft theme, except for one thing: it is a pain on a mobile device. Much of the important information is in the widgets on the right sidebar, but since my smartphone relegates that to the bottom footer, I can’t get to it until EVERY post on the blog is loaded by continually scrolling down. Not a good experience!

    Is there any way to change this within the current theme?

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

    Hi Andrew,

    The majority of the themes in our repository with a sidebar will push that sidebar to the footer area on smaller mobile devices. This ensure that the content within the sidebar remains readable.

    Infinite scroll is currently enabled on your site, which is why your posts load automatically upon scroll and the reason for your sidebar being hard to get to. You can disable infinite scroll via our classic interface in order to stop that behaviour and to make your widgets more easily accessible on mobile devices.

    To access the classic interface, add /wp-admin to the end of your site’s URL. Like so:

    https://apostolictorah.wordpress.com/wp-admin

    From there, navigate to Settings > Reading in the left sidebar:

    https://apostolictorah.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

    Uncheck the option next to Scroll Infinitely on the above page. You can also set a number of posts that you Blog pages show at most to control the number of post that visitors scroll through.

    Let me know if that helps out!

    Perfect! We’re right here if extra questions come up, too.
