This year has been strange for sure and since my last post I got more people wanting me to continue development.

Unfortunately I still don’t have time to do so just yet as I am focusing on another project.

However, while development is still on hold I would ask that you answer a few key questions that will help me focus on how/what to develop when I get back to it.

1. What drawn your attention to Auto Load Next Post?
2. Do you prefer bulky themes or clean and modern?
3. How often do you change your WordPress theme?
4. What post editor do you use? Doesn’t have to be Classic or Block editor.
5. Do you utilize a lot of JavaScript on your site?
6. Do you prefer not to use jQuery on your site?
7. What feature would you like the most added/supported?
8. Do you have more than 1 WordPress website?
9. Do you manage a multi-network setup?
10. Are you a WordPress theme developer?
11. Would you pay for support and updates?
12. Do you prefer Monthly or Yearly Subscriptions?

Leave your answers in the comments.

Thank you.

If you have been wondering what has happened with the progression with Auto Load Next Post. It’s been put on hold… at least for the time being.

It has been a long difficult road building this product to something great and while I do still believe in it’s potential it has been draining me dry both mentally and financial.

I needed a break from it all and to get myself back on my feet.

I’m still recovering and listening to your ideas and feedback and I am interested to getting back to the project asap but not at this time.

I appreciate all the kind words I have received from those who wish to see the project bloom. It means a great deal.

Thank you for your support.

regards,

Sébastien. 😀

It’s been a while since I last posted but I think this was defiantly worth the wait. At the start of this year I focused on rewriting the documentation, so all users could understand how Auto Load Next Post works and how to setup.

It was too focused for developers. Clearly a major fault on my part so I hope it’s all good now as I have not had any complaints since. To better manage the documentation and to allow translations be submitted I decided to place the documentation on GitHub again in it’s own repository.

Would you be interested in translating the documentation in another language? Check out the contribution instructions for more details.

After taking care of the documentation, I pushed out 6 tiny releases with tweaks, corrections and support for 2 new themes and a lot more is about to come.

On to what’s coming!

Feedback is important to building a great product and I realised that I haven’t provided the best way to do that yet. Sure you can create an issue on the GitHub repository but it is more of a place of management for notes and reporting bugs.

While I could set up a public forum I think it is an outdated way of communicating between myself and the users and could also cause to much traffic on the site not that traffic is not good but I don’t want the majority of that traffic to be discussing Auto Load Next Post.

Currently, you can provide your feedback via the contact form and is fine between you and me but this method does not allow you to also discuss your input with other users or developers.

So I decided to create a Slack channel that you can join to discuss plugins to be supported, features to be added, integrations, and provide suggestions for Auto Load Next Post for future releases.

Your input matters to make this plugin great not just for you but for everyone else who wants a great web experience while increasing your website’s pageviews.

I think its the perfect platform to get direct feedback. To join the Slack channel simply go here: https://launchpass.com/autoloadnextpost

So what are you looking forward too in Auto Load Next Post? Let’s talk.
