After WordPress 5.8 is released, infinite scrolling will be removed by default from the Media Library. See Trac ticket <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/50105" rel="nofollow ugc">50105</a> for the releated changeset and ticket <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40330" rel="nofollow ugc">40330</a> for the historical context behind the decision.
This plugin, for the short term, is a global re-enabling of infinite scrolling in the Media Library for all users.
A potential future enhancement is to have a per-user setting, letting individual users decide what’s best for them.

<h4>Your site just got awesome</h4>
EasyScroll is the answer to your question, “How can my site be AWESOME?”. This plugin will add a sense of fluidity and interactivity to your site, causing your viewers to stay longer, read more posts, and probably buy you a Ferrari (okay… maybe only 2 out of those 3 things).
<h4>So, what the heck is EasyScroll?</h4>
EasyScroll is simple, really. All it does is add a “lazy load” of posts, pages, or any custom post type to your site, wherever you want. This means that when a user scrolls to the bottom of your site, more posts will load in, WITHOUT the need of a page refresh.
So what does this mean for you?
Well, this means that viewers will probably be more apt to want to stay on that page longer and read more posts, causing your site to gain some traction and views.
EasyScroll is very customizable too. You can…
<ul>
<li>Choose where the posts will be loaded to.</li>
<li>Choose how many posts will be loaded each time.</li>
<li>Select an awesome, animated loading-image from 10 different options (possibly more to come!)</li>
<li>Change how far down a viewer must scroll to load in new posts.</li>
<li>Choose which pages to use on.</li>
<li>Use custom post types.</li>
<li>Sort by one of many options (including custom meta!).</li>
</ul>
So what are you waiting for? Download EasyScroll now, and see how awesome your site really can be!
This plugin is in beta. Be sure to leave feedback and reviews to help improve it!
