Infinite Scroll & Tracking Browser Problem
-
Hi,
It seems that if tracking protection is enabled in a browser (I’ve checked in Firefox and Safari) then the infinite scroll doesn’t work. The (first) page loads but there’s no “load more posts” button or any kind of scrolling option.
Can this be fixed as a reader trying to prevent tracking should be allowed to read content and progress further down a site?
P.S. If I disable the infinite scroll, the “load more” button doesn’t appear (within a tracking protected browser page) either.
Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
I’ve also just noticed that cause I was going through a caregory and I could only load posts once!
However, homepage loads fine.
This happens with the infinite scroll on and off.
I’ve just sent them an email.
Not sure if this was like this forever since I’ve been only using this theme for maybe 3 or 4 months.

Hi there – I think this is an issue with WordPress.com – I will ask them to take a look.

I’ve just tested it on the site http://whatwentwrongwith.com/ – I think it’s to do with wordads. The wordads are being loaded in the infinite scroll and the tracking code is blocking the javascript which in turn stops the infinite scroll from working.
I am not sure what the solution to this is but it’s something that WordPress.com and/or wordads will need to fix.

I’ve been speaking with them but so far nothing has worked but they are trying.
However, I got this problem on Chrome but I’ve tried on Edge and it works fine. So must be something to do with java probably.
On my work desktop, it worked on Chrome so I don’t know. :
I’m gonna wait for the support to come back again.

In regards to WordAds, I have another site, also using Chronicle but without WordAds and the same problem occurs…

So i’ve come to a conclusion that adblock extension is causing this but just in pages other than homepage, which is weird.
If I deactivate the extension, then all is fine.
About https://whatwentrightwith.com/ works fine for me, infinite scroll is working.

Regarding https://whatwentrightwith.com/ – it looks like there is advertising on there. I don’t know what it is, but it seems to be what is breaking the loading. The code prefix is __ATA if that helps.
This is definitely not part of the theme though, it’s part of the WordPress.com code base. As such I can’t help with this I’m afraid. Hopefully someone on WordPress.com will be able to help.
They have my contact details if they want any more info from me, or if they want me to test anything in the theme.
