Jetpack Infinite Scroll and AMP for WP plugin: %%footer%% text displayed

[kspilarski]

Without Accelerated Mobile Pages for WP plugin, regardless of the setting I select in Jetpack infinite scroll, %%footer%% text does not appear at the bottom of my site.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Install and activate Jetpack plugin.
2. Install and activate Accelerated Mobile Pages for WP plugin and configure settings
3. Go to Jetpack settings > Writing > Theme enhancements > Infinite Scroll and select either "Load more posts in page with a button" or "Load more posts as the reader scrolls down".
4. Visit the front page of your site, scroll down to the bottom and %%footer%% text will be displayed

What I expected

%%footer%% text should not appear at the bottom of the site regardless of the option selected under Infinite Scroll.

What happened instead

In Jetpack settings > Writing > Theme enhancements > Infinite Scroll, only when setting “Load more posts using the default theme behavior”, %%footer%% text will be removed / will not appear at the bottom of the site.

Screenshots

• In the browser inspector, %%footer%% shows:

<amp-next-page max-pages="0" class="i-amphtml-element i-amphtml-layout-container i-amphtml-next-page i-amphtml-built i-amphtml-layout" i-amphtml-layout="container"><div recommendation-box="" class="recommendation-box"><template type="amp-mustache"> </template><div> </div></div> <div footer=""> %%footer%% </div> </amp-next-page>

• when Infinite Scroll is set to either "Load more posts in page with a button" or "Load more posts as the reader scrolls down", %%footer%% is displayed at the bottom of the site:

• when Infinite Scroll is set to “Load more posts using the default theme behavior”, %%footer%% text is removed / not displayed:

Facing the same issue. Any update on this?

I am experiencing the same issue. But I not only have %%footer%% appearing at the end of my site but below the footer my whole site is displayed a second time showing the posts that are not displayed above. Is there any way to solve this?

[MuhammedSwalihct]

@jeherve It's been so long since this error has been reported and I can confirm that it still exists. Is there any fix for this?

[jeherve]

@MuhammedSwalihct We have no fix yet, but we'll update this issue when we do.
