No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

    Works great in 2025 even with a custom blog list view (JReviews) by hooking into it’s next page selector. Click or scroll works flawlessly and loaded in very fast time. Folks, this is the kind of plugin that the WP core should implement. It’s the modern version of pagination. Kudos to the author. This plugin comes highly recommended!

    Exactly what I needed. Works out of the box! I read the negative reviews before installing just to be sure that the plugin won’t break any stuff or having a major conflict with some other well known plugin. The guys telling negative stuff are obvious not even entry level developers. Sorry to tell you but, if you can’t figure out on your own what classes you should use to make the plugin work, you should consider changing job.

    It doesn’t work for product categories. i.e. infinite scroll on products (woocommerce). I didn’t try it for blog posts (don’t have any) so I dont want to put 1 star. but I did want to make a comment.

    I had a problem with my firstpage not loading Elementor editor and was causing gray loading screen. All the other pages worked fine with Elementor. Tried to deactivate each plugin to find the cause of the error, until I finally got it to work. It seems like the plugin had caused the issue for Elementor and therefore I cant use this plugin on my website.
