What is Auto Load Next Post? Auto Load Next Post is a WordPress plugin developed to increase page views by engaging the site viewers to keep them reading the blogs content as they reach the bottom of an article rather than having to go back and select another post to read. It simply loads the next post on your blog automatically once the user has reached the bottom of the initial post the viewer is reading and repeats as the user reads the content until there are no more posts to load. How does it work? At the end of every single post their is a post navigation which is used to detect and collect the previous post URL for the next post to load. JavaScript then loads the post by inserting the content via a special template that matches the theme structure for a single post and places the content underneath the parent post within the main post container. The JavaScript detects when you are reading the next post and updates your browser URL address bar and page title to that post. Should you refresh the browser, the post you are currently reading would load as the new initial post. All previous posts of the blog are still retained in your browser history.
