How do I break my post and page entries into several pages: "more" code does not serve pur
-
Hi
I’ve tried using the <more> HTML code in post entries to break my post into smaller pages. However, this only works on the made Blog home page and not on the actual separate blog page itself.
So how do I make this work. And also how do I make it work on pages.
I would like page numbers underneath so readers can click forward to the next pages, if that makes sense.
Thank you,
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi!
We have instructions on how to do that here:

Let me know if you have any trouble!

Thanks – funny, I tried this before and it didn’t work – seems to now. I’m wondering if it’s because this time I input it right at the start of a line of text, whereas before I put it in a line of space?
It doesn’t mention it on the link you sent, but if I wanted to customise this how would I go about it i.e. if page 2 was going to a new topic or post and I wanted the title of that topic?
Thanks

That’s odd – it should work on it’s own line as well. Could you link me to the page where you’re using the code?

So, instead of page numbers, you would like the title of the next page to be listed? I’m trying to think of a way to do that. The next page shortcode isn’t customizable so that won’t work. You would need to create separate pages instead and nest them as child pages of the main page:
Then, you would need to manually insert a link into the bottom of the first page.
So, say you created a page called “Great Story” and you had three parts. You would create three separate pages for each part and set them as children under “Great Story.” Then, you would include three links at the bottom of the “Great Story” page. The URLs would look like this:
http://example.com/great-story/part-1
http://example.com/great-story/part-2
http://example.com/great-story/part-3
Would that work?

getting a bit late here.
The child page solution sounds a bit more than I want to take on tonight but maybe I will give it a go tomorrow.
Alternatively – I could add a line at the end of page 1 with the title or topic and then use a jump link to link it to the first line of the next page? That would still keep the numbers but… I’ll see what it looks like tomorrow.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Dawn!
I could add a line at the end of page 1 with the title or topic and then use a jump link to link it to the first line of the next page?
That was my first inclination, and at first, I couldn’t get it to work because the page URL changes (a /2 gets added for the second page). However, it looks like we could make this work using something like this:
software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of <a href="https://callitluck.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/test/2/#jump1">Lorem Ipsum</a>. <!--nextpage--> <a id="jump1">See</a>So, that first bit would be the end of the first page. You would need to specify a bit more of the page URL (normally, you would just put href=”#jump1″>. Can you give that a try? We could always use CSS to hide the actual page numbers.
