Infinite scroll requires WP pagination?

Thanks for the response! Hmm… interesting.

For reference: the_posts_pagination() is WP’s method for generating page links. I definitely don’t want to use it, but it seems I have to.

This is so frustrating/baffling. Here’s the relevant code I have on my homepage:

<div id="main" class="grid" role="main">

    <h1>Quickies</h1>

    <?php
      /* Query Quickies */
      $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'quickie',
        'posts_per_page' => 24,
        'paged' => get_query_var('paged')
      );
      $quickieLoop = new WP_Query( $args );
      while ( $quickieLoop->have_posts() ) : $quickieLoop->the_post();

        get_template_part('loop-quickie');

      endwhile; wp_reset_query();

      /* AJAX Load More plugin */
      echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more
        post_type="quickie"
        seo="true"
        transition="fade"
        posts_per_page="24"
        max_pages="0"
        offset="24"]');

    ?>

  <div class="gap"></div>

</div><!-- #main .grid -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php the_posts_pagination(); ?>
