MemberI realise I’m not able to have Infinite Scroll on the Homepage if I have any Footer Widget. Is it possible to have the Footer Widget just within the posts, and not on the Homepage? Thanks

Theme AuthorHi there – it is indeed possible to do this.
You can see a tutorial here on how to set widget visibility settings – https://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/05/28/widget-visibility/
Cheers – Ben
I had already tried setting the Widget Visibility, and the Infinite Scroll still doesn’t work.
My Widget Visibility setting was
“Hide” if:
“Page” is
“Front page”Also tried setting with
“Show” if:
“Page” is
“Posts page”Either way, the Infinite Scroll doesn’t work, I still need to click on “Older posts” at the bottom of the Home page to load more posts.
I have try this setting too
“Show” if:
“Taxonomy” is
“All taxonomy pages”And this
“Show” if:
“Taxonomy” is
“All pages”Infinite Scroll only works when I didn’t have any Footer Widget.

Theme AuthorOh – ok, sorry about that. I was under the impression that would work. I shall ask the wordpress.com support team for more help (I made the theme but don’t know every detail about wordpress.com). Hopefully they will be able to help.

StaffI confirmed that if you have Infinite Scroll enabled, with a footer widget set to be hidden on the Front Page (with the site set to show posts on the home page), Infinite Scroll is disabled.
I’m fairly certain this is a bug. I’ll report it to the appropriate team. Unfortunately, I don’t know of any workaround for this issue.
Is there a fix for this yet?
I really like the Infinite Scroll feature, but that means I can’t have any footer widget in the Post pages.
Is there any custom CSS that I can add, to make it work like a widget? For eg, a “back to home” button at the bottom of Post pages, after the Comments section and above the WordPress footer credit.

Theme AuthorI can’t answer regarding the bug since that’s a wordpress.com issue, hopefully they will get back to you soon.
However, regarding adding content via css – I’m afraid that’s not possible. CSS only allows you to change how things look – there’s no way to add interactivity with CSS unfortunately. This means we can’t add things that click with CSS.
Sorry about that :(
