 * I’ve been doing my best to find theCSS selectors for my theme using inspect element
   for a few days, I just cant find what I need. The developers of my theme havent
   been much help either. This is what I think might be correct so far, but it may
   be wrong.
 * Navigations “. pagination”
    Content “#entries” Item “.entry”
 * Can anyone take a look and see what they can find, or point me in the right direction?
   Thanks in advance!

 * This is the best I can find using inspect element, this seems right, but I cant
   make it work!
 * Content Selector – #entries
    Navigation Selector – . pagination Next Selector–.
   alignleft Item Selector – .entry
 * If someone could please take a look and help me out I would appreciate it, I’m
   really trying my best.

 * I’m almost positive those are the right selectors now. (I know it should be .
   pagination with no space)
 * I still cant make the plugin work! Any Ideas?

 * I briefly had it working with
 * Content Selector #entries
    Navigation Selector .pagination.clearfix Next Selector.
   alignleft Item Selector .post.entry.clearfix.latest
 * But it doesnt work all the time correctly, I think theres something very minor
   off

    I’d go for:
 * **Content Selector:** #entries
    **Navigation Selector: **.pagination **Next Selector:**.
   pagination .alignleft a:first **Item Selector:** #entries .post
 * With CSS selectors you can be as broad or specific as you like, so whilst you
   could have stuff like
 * > #entries .post.entry.clearfix.latest
 * It’s going to be very specific and will most likely break on other pages that
   might not use exactly the same classes. So I think just specifying “post” is 
   fine. The next page selector has to point to a hyperlink (<\a> tag) so you were
   close with .alignleft but as you can see above, you need to drill down and specify
   the “a:first” (first hyperlink inside alignleft).
 * Let me know if it works, if not then just point me in the direction if your site
   with infinite-scroll debug set to On.

   works the way it does
