About bbPress load more topics
From the official readme · v1.1Description
Add a ‘load-more’ button in topics archive. On click of it, new topics are appended at the end of topics list.
The plugin has no setting, check the ‘Installation’ screen for more information.
Installation
Install the plugin like you’d install any wordpress plugin.
The plugin will automatically add a loadmore button at the bottom of topics list.
+++++++++++++++++
Important:- If you are updating from old version of this plugin, chances are you might get 2 ‘load more’ buttons.
In that case:
-
You can either remove the function call from your template file(which you’d have done earlier)
-
Or, you can put the following code in your functions.php
remove_action( "bbp_template_after_topics_loop", "bbpresslmt_loadmore_button" );
+++++++++++++++++
In case, ‘load more’ button is not added automatically, you can put following code in bbpress template file called loop-topics.php,
<?php if( function_exists( 'bbpresslmt_loadmore_button' ) ): ?>
<?php bbpresslmt_loadmore_button(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
preferably inside <li class="bbp-body"> or <li class="bbp-footer">
And of course, you should copy template files into your theme/child theme and then make changes. Instructions.
+++++++++++++++++++
If you want to add the button in a different place:
-
Remove original button by adding following code in your theme’s functions.php file:
remove_action( "bbp_template_after_topics_loop", "bbpresslmt_loadmore_button" ); -
Add following code where you want the button to appear:
<?php if( function_exists( 'bbpresslmt_loadmore_button' ) ): ?>
<?php bbpresslmt_loadmore_button(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
