In response to my earlier post about scrolling posts on your “Like” comments page, Dave, with ParkInkSpot came to my rescue! Thank you Dave!
– Go into your blog's dashboard and find the up and down arrow icon.
– Click on this icon and select, Reading.
– In this page you will first select: “first page displays latest post.”
– Next, (on the same page) go to “Infinity and Beyond” and select “Scroll Indefinately.”
This should change your posts displayed as scrolling!
I tried but I cannot find it. Is it possible it depends on the theme you pick for your blog or on the fact you didn’t buy the domain?
I am using a free theme. Did you not see an icon (in your blog’s dashboard, on the left hand side) that has an up arrow and a down arrow right next to it? You need to go into that icon and then select Reading.
Yup I did, and I could follow the instructions up to the last one! It’s like the last bit isn’t in my blog!
Were you able to go into “Reading”??
Yup and I found the front page displays, but under it I have just Blog pages show at most and all that kind of stuff about posts!
More than likely when you changed your setting “front page displays latest post,” might be all you needed to do on your theme. Be sure to like some posts of mine so I can watch your three posts on your “Like” to see if they change (make sure you write and publish some posts).
Will do! Thanks again!
You’re welcome!!
On the “new” dashboard, it has a different icon– might want to let people know that what they’re looking for is “Settings.” If they want to see the icon specifically 🙂 they can click on “Classic Dashboard” and it shows up.
Thank you Casey! I will if they ask me. I didn’t realize there was a new dashboard.
I just saw it, but I’ve been out a bit…I guess it’s new? Each time I go to the dashboard, there’s a notification that I can go to the “Classic” dash if I want.
Yes, I have seen that. Now I know what you mean. Thank you.
This is so helpful. Saw your earlier post too…had no idea ! Thank you 🙂
You’re welcome!
Very helpful information! I will give it a try and hopefully I find my way around 🙂
I have found the only way to really learn is to explore and try things. When you go into your dashboard (which will be on the left side of the page – and you will probably only see small icons) look for the icon that has one arrow going up and next to it an arrow going down (or the other way around). That is the icon you will click on and you will see “Reading” among the other options.
It is still a little bit frightening to me to go into the dashboard and explore. One time I was trying to put an award picture into my side bar and did something wrong and almost got kicked off of WordPress! Haha! That is one of the reasons I no longer accept awards. 😀
I can’t actually do it because of my footer widgets on my theme. Oh well. 🙂 Thank you still, though!
That’s a bummer Colleen!
But thanks for the info if I ever change themes. 🙂
Mine actually only had this option,”Scroll = Infinitely” and I took it! It actually was already selected. Thank you so much! I actually also followed myself to see when my post show up to my followers and those I follow. Thank you again for being so willing to help! You are definitely a priceless joy to follow!!
Thank you for such a kind comment!
Those “up and down icons” are probably easier to understand if you say, “settings”. What I don’t understand is seeing people’s posts with their likes. If someone presses like on my blog, I’m just directed to their profile and see nothing about posts
When you like one of my posts I get an email that has your picture, the name of your blog and at the bottom there are 3 of your posts listed. Do you not get any of those?
Oh yer, now I understand…lol… I’m slow, but do usually get there! Thank you, Joy 😉
Thanks Cat! I didn’t know the icon with the arrows is “Settings.” I’m glad you understand the change to make your posts “rolling.” Hugs!! xo
So I finally tried the settings today on my blog and it turns out they were already set up that way 🙂 Thanks for teaching me though because I had no clue where those settings were. 😀
Some of the themes already have them set but some of them do not. Mine didn’t have it set that way, I had to go in and manually change it.
Thanks so much for sharing the info. YOU ROCK!!
So do you! 😀
