 * Hi guys
 * I have a static front page that shows the first 20 posts, I am trying to enable
   the Jetpack Infinite Scroll plugin. I’ve activated it from Jetpack and also enabled
   it in my theme as follows:
 *     ```
       function homepage_infinite_scroll() {
               get_template_part( 'content', 'home');
       };
   
       /**
        * Add theme support for Infinite Scroll.
        * See: http://jetpack.me/support/infinite-scroll/
        */
       function remarkably_jetpack_setup() {
       	add_theme_support( 'infinite-scroll', array(
       		'container' => 'main',
       		'type' => 'click',
       		'wrapper' => false,
       		'render' => 'homepage_infinite_scroll'
       	) );
       }
       add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'remarkably_jetpack_setup' );
       ```
   
 * On my front-page.php (static), I have the following code:
 *     ```
       <main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
   
       		<?php if (is_front_page()) { ?>
       		<?php
       			//$custom_loop = new WP_Query('showposts=10&orderby=date');
       			$custom_loop = new WP_Query('showposts=20&orderby=date');
       				if ( $custom_loop->have_posts() ) :
       					while ( $custom_loop->have_posts() ) : $custom_loop->the_post();
       						get_template_part( 'content', 'home');
       					endwhile;
       					wp_reset_query();
       				endif;
   
       		?>
       		<?php } ?>
       		</main>
       ```
   
 * I don’t see the infinite scroll plugin activating, no classes are added to the
   body at all.
 * If I go to Reading in WordPress dashboard, I am unable to activate Infinite Scroll
   because “We’ve disabled this option for you since you have footer widgets in 
   Appearance → Widgets, or because your theme does not support infinite scroll.”
 * In appearance widgets, there are no footer widgets at all, only 2 sidebar widgets.
 * Do you have any idea what might be missing?
 * Many thanks! 🙂
