I thought I had my ascending pages cracked - the following tag.hbs snippet appeared to work perfectly

```auto
<main id="site-main" class="site-main outer" role="main">
    <div class="inner">
        <div class="post-feed">
            {{#tag}}  
                {{#get "posts" limit="all" filter="primary_tag:{{slug}}" order="published_at asc" }}
                    {{#foreach posts }}    
                        {{!-- The tag below includes the markup for each post - partials/post-card.hbs --}}
                        {{> "post-card"}}
                    {{/foreach}}
                {{/get}}  
             {{/tag}}   
         </div>
    </div>
</main>

```

However if I scroll down to the bottom of a page with \> 25 posts (25 is assume is the default page size) then I get all the posts a second time and so on until all pages are exhausted e.g if I have 31 posts then scrolling to the bottom I’ll see them all a second time but scrolling to the bottom again they don’t get repeated a 3rd time. My page with 77 posts gets all 77 repeated 4 times if I keep scrolling downwards.

{{pagination}} doesn’t work with get and I can’t simply add `page=pagination.page` to my {{#get}} request. I know I can add `{page="1"}` but don’t believe I can increment this inside a hbs file.

Is it possible to simply turn off pagination or change the page size dynamically to `../pagination.total`?

You can probably guess I’m new to handlebars.

The `limit="all"` should fetch all of the posts, if it’s not doing that then there may be a bug 🙊

If you want to disable pagination on your tag pages then you can move this section from the `default.hbs` layout (which applies to all pages) to only the templates you want pagination on such as `index.hbs` and `author.hbs`:

```handlebars
{{#if pagination.pages}}
    <script>
        var maxPages = parseInt('{{pagination.pages}}');
    </script>
    <script src="{{asset "js/infinitescroll.js"}}"></script>
{{/if}}

```

Thanks Kevin - I’ll try that tomorrow

`limit="all` works fine and returns all posts. For example in my longest trip blog it returns all 77 posts correctly. All is good! BUT if I scroll down past the last post the {{#get}} gets triggered again and all 77 posts get displayed a 2nd time on the page - it does this a further 2 times and then trying to scroll past the end produces no further hits.

What appears to be happening is that my page has a post size of 25 (the default) but {{#get}} with `limit=all` returns (correctly 77 posts). However scrolling to the bottom invokes the paging mechanism a further 3 because it seems to have only ‘ticked off’ 25 posts.

Simply changing the {{#get}} to limit=25 honours the paging mechanism but each page-down simply gets the very first 25 posts so the fully scrolled page consists of 3 copies of the first 25 posts and the first 2 posts repeated a 4th time.

So adding the `page` option to my {{#get}} would work but I don’t think I can programatically increment the page value - I had hoped adding `page=pagination.page` to the {{#get}} would work but this merely proves the accuracy of the documentation when it says pagination and get don’t work together 🙂

Hopefully channels will make this much simpler.

Brilliant Kevin - thanks again. Turning off paging and using {{#get}} with `limit="all"` works perfectly for my purposes.

FYI in order to keep the changes local and not run the risk of inadvertently propagating errors I created a new defaultnopage.hbs with paging removed and then changed tag.hbs to insert that rather than the standard default.hbs

Thanks again for taking time to help with this - it has also provided me with valuable handlebars education so much appreciated.

So yeah, with dynamic routing it will be possible to filter posts for a specific collection url without needing the `{{get}}` helper. So you can show posts with a primary tag x on a specific url. The collection is then automatically paginated - default behaviour.

**But** if you want to implement infinite scroll and load the paginated posts of this url, you either run into the same problem with the `{{get}}` helper and the page parameter or you have to implement something like [https://github.com/TryGhost/Casper/blob/master/assets/js/infinitescroll.js](https://github.com/TryGhost/Casper/blob/master/assets/js/infinitescroll.js).

> and I can’t simply add page=pagination.page to my {{#get}} request

Yeah this is because as soon as you load your page, `pagination.page` get’s specific value e.g. 1. But the value does not get updated when scrolling - it stays 1.

Hey @Kevin, I am using the [Editorial theme](https://github.com/TryGhost/Editorial) for my website.

When I set `limit="all"` in my index.hbs and tag.hbs scripts but it does not seem to work. I only shows a maximum 6 posts (even when I have more than 12 posts). Also, it worked correctly when I tried doing `limit="3"` in those pages but not when I did `limit="8"` or `limit="9"`.

Also, my `default.hbs` does not have the code that you mentioned above that I can remove to disable pagination.

I do not want pages for my content - just one scrollable page. Can you (or someone else) please help me with it?

Found the fix.

So, the `limit="all"` setting was being overruled by the `posts_per_page` setting in `package.json` (which was set to 6)! So setting that to a large number (I set it to 51) worked for me.
