In the Post View OnClick / OnScroll field, you can set how many posts will load at once on the button click.
From the Button Text field, you can change the text on the button, while the Loading Text field allows you to change the text that appears when more posts are being loaded. You can also modify the text that appears when all posts are loaded by using the All Posts Loaded Text field.
From the Disable Animation toggle, you can disable the post loading animation, so the new posts will load without any animation.

Depending on the number of posts you have and the number set in the Display Posts field, you’ll see a load more button on your blog post listing.
