Implementation Methods

There are two unique ways of implementing Ajax Load More onto a page – both of the following implementation methods accept all configuration and query parameters.

• Shortcode

Shortcode

The shortcode implementation is the OG method for adding Ajax Load More to posts, pages, and theme templates.

// Template (.php)
echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more post_type="portfolio"]');

// Block Editor
[ajax_load_more post_type="portfolio"]

alm_render

The alm_render method was added in Ajax Load More 5.0 for users who prefer to avoid shortcodes for functional implementations.

alm_render accepts an array of key/value pairs. Each key(parameter) and value must be passed as a string as shown below in the code sample.

// page-template.php
$category = 'design';
$args = array(
	'post_type'            => 'post',
	'posts_per_page'       => '6',
	'category'             => $category,
	'button_label'         => __( 'Show More Posts', 'framework' ),
	'button_loading_label' => __( 'Loading...', 'framework' ),
	'scroll'               => 'false'
);	
if ( function_exists( 'alm_render' ) ) {
	alm_render( $args );
}
