Description
Block themes do not use PHP templates that Infinite Scroll can use to render a list / loop of posts.
We would consequently need to either:
- Sunset the feature and let this be handled in Core directly, maybe as a new feature. Related: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/29606
- Adapt it to work with block themes.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Gutenberg issue about handling Infinite Scroll in Core and compare its direction with the two alternatives described here. The issue does not name files, tests, or an implementation entry point, and completion would first require deciding whether to sunset the feature or adapt it for block themes.
