Switching off "Load more posts"
-
Hello. I would like my blog to display one post at a time on main page. This is the setting that I had before. It had a link below that read “Older posts”, which again led to a screen that showed just one post at a time. With “Load more posts” that effect is lost. Could I restore it? Thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

My understanding is that you will need to purchase a CSS upgrade.
See here:

Ah, then if you decide to go the CSS upgrade route, post in the CSS forum and we’ll hope staff or a voluteer will assist you.
Sorry the news isn’t better…

(I don’t have any experience with CSS. As a volunteer, I have learned a lot about wordpress, but have never ventured into that area.)

This is anoying. Here is the blog of a friend of mine in WordPress again that does not display the button. Do you have any idea why?
-
Yes, annoying is a word.
That blog is using the Fruit Shake theme which does not yet feature the infinite scroll function.
Infinite scroll is gradually being added to all themes that can benefit from it. You can see a list of themes that currently feature Infinite Scroll in the Theme Directory.

I got so caught up in considering the word “annoying” that I forgot to show you this link:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/infinite-scroll/As I’m sure you have gathered from my earlier link to Panos’ site, you are not alone in not appreciating this feature.
IMO the block of text inviting a reader to “load more” (when the infinite scroll has been disabled) is ugly and distracting and robs the screen of valuable area where posts, text, and images should remain unsullied.

Just a wild guess, but I use Chateau for one blog I administer. If you set it to show 1 post, it still shows previous and next posts. Could be it still works only because it still hasn’t been modified with the special infinite scroll feature though.

Lots of themes have not yet been modified for this “new” feature. I mentioned Chateau though because even when it is, well, I’m guessing, it will likely look very much as it does now. It does have some weird CSS for images and tables though.
And Imbalance2 already has “load more posts” built into its design. Showing only 1 post might continue to show properly??
