How to add infinite scroll to your Tumblr theme now that Cody Sherman’s site has disappeared
The other day I noticed infinite scroll was broken on humphreybc.com. Digging through the code, I found this script tag that I included way, way back:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://codysherman.com/tools/infinite-scrolling/code"></script>
This Cody Sherman guy had the top result for ‘tumblr infinite scroll’ on Google, so everyone over the past 5 years has been using this code snippet to enable infinite scroll on Tumblr. The only problem? Cody Sherman’s website has disappeared (poof!), breaking thousands of Tumblr sites.
Fixing it is easy. I’ve re-hosted the JavaScript on GitHub, and I promise it’ll remain there until the end of time, or until GitHub goes away. Simply replace Cody Sherman’s <script> tag with this one:
<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/humphreybc/tumblr-infinite-scroll/master/infinite-scroll.js"></script>
And remember two things:
If you’re adding this for the first time, you’ll need to add <div class="autopagerize_page_element"> right above the {block:Posts} tag
When copying the snippet, replace the smart quotes with the non-curly double quote character.
