"Load More" button for Static Pages

    Hi all,

    A bit of context – my website is a collection of quotes. They are organized in PAGES like “funny quote”,”famous quote”,”motivational quote”, etc. I am inserting list of quotes into each page, and the pages are getting very long as I add more quotes.

    So I’ve been looking to add one of those stylish [load more] button where when you get to the bottom of the screen/ or reached a certain amount of quote, say 25, it will load more quotes/load the next 25 quote–and keep repeating in that fashion but there are no more content to show.

    I checked all the plug-ins:
    Advanced AJAX Page Loader
    Ajax Load More
    Infinite Scroll
    And they did not work for my purposes as they are all for showing more blog POSTS on the homepage.

    Does anyone know of a plugin that address this problem by adding a load more /infinite scroll or something of that nature to help a long page look nicer?

    If not – how can I go about implementing this by code? I am still learning so I am not very adept at it but any suggestions to keep this project moving forward are much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Take a look at this plugin, I used it on a client’s site that had a very long list of testimonials.

    Jeff,

    Thanks for replying. That’s a very creative solution.

    I tried it but I couldn’t get it working for my purpose.

    The problem I had with the plugin:

    1-
    I’m actually using something very similar for my quote page. It’s the collapsible plugin code – https://wordpress.org/plugins/jquery-collapse-o-matic/ This functions as when you click on the quote, more info appears.

    When I use the ShowHide plugin to ‘hide’ some quotes, the collapsible codes no longer work.

    2-
    The ShowHide can only be used once in the page – so it would only divide the length of the page in half anyway. If I insert one ShowHide code inside of another showhide code (meaning hide 50 quote and then on the 50th quote, you can click to reveal 50 more quotes) — this does not work.

    And even if it were to work, I fear it might not be a good long term solution. I would have to keep grouping the quotes as the collection grows. I think I might need a dedicated scroller of some sort. Any other suggestions? thanks

    This tutorial, although coding, seems like it will walk you through a simple way to add it to your theme. I haven’t tried it but the instructions are very clear and should be easy to follow.
