I read the pinned post. Hopefully someone can help. If not, any direction towards somewhere I may be able to get help would be appreciated.

The website is nykrecords.com, the theme is ACME from Ville Noire. I'm trying to get endless scrolling to work as the theme apparently has "endless scrolling options." I've tried some of the codes that you can find by Google searching "endless scrolling" and they all add advertising text to the website and screw up the formatting.

I've sunk hours into trying to find a way of making this work. At some point we'd love to hire a proper web developer but it's early days and there just isn't any budget right now.

Any ideas?

Can't help with the problem, alas.

But I must say endless scrolling is a terrible invention. Often the scrollbar jumps around when additional content is loaded, so you get pushed away from where you are. AFAIK you can't bookmark any location a bit down either.

True, didn't think of that. The only reason we want to implement endless scrolling is because Tumblr has a limit of 15 posts per page. For the website design we want, we're using a workaround that creates two posts per post you see on the page so we're limited to 7 posts on the main page.

I believe the only option we have is endless scrolling, unless there is a way to increase the seemingly hardcoded limit of 15 posts per page that Tumblr has. That would also be a great workaround.

It seems quite common to see endless or infinite scrolling on Tumblr. I'm not familiar with Tumblr coding, but a quick search on "endless scrolling for tumblr" (or similar) returned these links that might help:

The problem with that Cody Sherman code is that it adds advertising to the website and screwed with the formatting.
