Ajax Load More 3.5

Now with support for Google Adsense and DFP advertisements

        Release Notes     Comments

Version 3.5.0 of Ajax Load More was released earlier this week – this point release packs many of the functional updates and changes I’ve been wanting to implement for quite some time.

Keep reading below to find out what’s new in 3.5 and what’s upcoming in the next few releases.

🔥 What’s New in 3.5

Adsense Support

After an extended period of experimentation, testing, and support requests I’m thrilled and ecstatic to announce that Google Adsense and DFP (DoubleClick for Publishers) advertisements are now fully supported by Ajax Load More.

Google Adsense in Ajax

Adding support for Adsense was one of the most requested Ajax Load More features and definitely the issue that received the most support requests over the past 2-3 years.

Adsense and DFP ads are fully supported on standard Ajax listing pages and single posts templates using the Single Posts add-on – view the examples below:

Repeater Templates

Updating to Ajax Load More 3.5 automatically moved the Default repeater from the plugins/ajax-load-more/core/repeater/ plugin directory into an alm_templates directory created within WordPress uploads folder.

This update was long overdue and should alleviate some permission issues users were reporting as well as allow for repeaters to be more easy stored in source control. Once this release has settled, this same update will be applied to users of the Custom Repeaters add-on.

Anyone with issues after updating, please open a support ticket and I’ll try my best to help you out.
