[Resolved] WordPress Page Break Module?

Hi there,

how is that page constructed? Is it using a Block Element Content Template ?

Hi Wayne,

David is asking if the single post is constructed with a Block Element Content Template and I believe it is:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-content-template/

Can you go to Dashboard > Appearance > Elements and temporarily set the status of that Content Template to draft and see if everything works correctly?

If that’s the case then we might need to try a workaround solution without using the Content Template.

Let me know 🙂

Hey Wayne,

I’m able to replicate this bug on my end. I’ve asked Tom if this is indeed a bug or simply a limitation on using the content template for single posts.

Can we wait for his reply so I know what’s the best way to move forward?

Thanks.

Couple of options:

Option 1 – in your Content Template. Are you using the GP Dynamic Content Block for the post content?
If so replace that with a core Post Content Block.
NOTE: the core block will return no preview and will state: Block cannot be rendered inside itself. – but this can be ignored in the content template.

If that don’t work.

Option 2

1. Add this PHP Snippet to your site:

add_shortcode('page_links', function(){
    ob_start();
    wp_link_pages(
        array(
            'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'generatepress' ),
            'after'  => '</div>',
        )
    );
    return ob_get_clean();
},100);

2. Then in your content template add the [page_links] shortcode where you want the links to appear.

Let me know.

Thats great.

You can add this CSS to apply some styles to those links:

/* Soace above and below and center page links */
.dynamic-content-template .post-nav-links {
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 10px;
}
/* add links styles */
.dynamic-content-template .post-nav-links .post-page-numbers {
    padding: 5px 10px;
    border: 1px solid #000;
    color: #000;
    border-radius: 3px;
    text-decoration: none;
}
/* change link background on hover */
.dynamic-content-template .post-nav-links .post-page-numbers:hover {
    background-color: #ccc;
}
/* change current link colors  */
.dynamic-content-template .post-nav-links .post-page-numbers.current {
    background-color: #000;
    color: #fff;
}

Do you know if dynamic content will eventually be able to work with the page break module?

If its a quick easy fix then probably.
But the Core Post Content Block does the job in this instance. And we have plans to migrate all GP Dynamic Data functions ( that are currently missing from ) to GenerateBlocks. As their is some overlap now. And we will ensure that there is a working method for this

Hi Wayne,

Where can I see the content template with [page_links] shortcode?

Let me know!

Have you added the shortcode? I’m not seeing it on the post you linked.

Let me know if I miss anything!
