Description
The home page of solo uses an infinite scroll feature, where once you reach the bottom of the page, new posts are automatically loaded.
While this can be convenient some of the time, the problem is the user cannot read or click on any links in the footer. This is a problem because many sites use the footer to link to terms and conditions, privacy policy, and social media links. Infinite scroll prevents the users from clicking on any of these links.
If infinite scroll could be disabled, then a "show more posts" button could allow the user to click to a new page to see additional posts. Can this feature be added @minimaluminium ? Thanks.

Research direction
Start at the Solo theme's homepage and locate the implementation of infinite scroll and post loading. Review how additional posts are currently requested, then determine how a user-controlled “show more posts” action could replace it when disabled; done means footer links remain reachable and additional posts can still be opened from the homepage.
