WordPress: How To Create Multiple Paged Articles

Many of my posts have multiple pages. WordPress today doesn’t provide a visible way to add multiple pages to your (single) article / post. I have been asked to explain how I create multiple pages in my articles. Here is the solution.

In earlier versions of WordPress there was a quicktag named page (or pages) which allowed you to create multiple pages in your WordPress blog. In some recent versions this feature is missing. This is how you can manually add it. Insert the following comments wherever you would like to insert a page break (like Microsoft Word).

<–nextpage–>

WordPress 2.0 comes with WYSIWYG editor enabled by default. Inserting such a comment is a pain. There are three options.
Hard

• You can switch off the WYSIWYG editor for all posts and then insert this comment by hand (everytime).
• You can go into source code mode and insert this comment by hand (everytime) and hope it retains the comment when you switch back to WYSIWYG.

Or
Simple
You can activate Angsuman’s Multi-Page Plugin and simply click on the button to insert a page break. It works both in WYSIWYG as well as text mode.
