If you're new or need help on getting it to work on a specific page, try out these tips and strategies.

First, while you're on the page, click the toolbar icon to open the UI Window. Then try the strategies below.

Strategy 1

  1. Try the Next Link Action. For the Link Auto Detect setting, try both the Keyword and Pattern options, one at a time, and examine the URL that shows up in the Next Link text field; if it looks right, then that's most likely the right action and you can move on to setting the append mode.
  2. Try the Page Append Mode to append the full page and then click ACCEPT and see if it works. If it seems to be working and appending pages, but the next page is blank or missing images, change to the Iframe Append Mode and click ACCEPT and see if that works. If either option works and you want to refine it further, you can try changing the append mode to Element (or Element Iframe) to make it only append a smaller part of the page.

If Strategy 1 doesn't work, refresh the page so you can try Strategy 2 below on a blank slate.

Strategy 2

  1. Try the Click Element Action. For the Click Auto Detect setting, try both the Keyword and Pattern options, one at a time, and examine the HTML that shows up in the Click Element text field; if it looks right, then that's most likely the right action and you can move on to setting the append mode.
  2. Try the AJAX Append Mode and set the AJAX Mode to Iframe and click ACCEPT and see if that works. (Do not try the Native option as that is designed for advanced usage.) If it's not working and all you want it to do is click an element (like a "Load More" Button rather than a "Next" Button), then try the None Append Mode instead and click ACCEPT to see if it works.

If It Works

If it works, re-open the UI Window and click the Star Button to save a URL pattern it will activate on so that it will remember the settings the next time you visit.

If It Doesn't Work

If that still doesn't work, then the website is most likely very complex and you'll need to create a path to the next link or click element manually or by using the Element Picker. Please see the Actions section for more in-depth details and strategies to try or get help by asking a question.
