Nextpage on page how to
6 replies · Started by Damiaan van Vliet on August 15, 2016
Hi support,
On a page with a lot of text I want to use <!--nextpage--> so that the user can click to the next page. But apparently it does not work.
Is it a theme issue?
Thanks!
Damiaan.
Hi Damiaan,
There are two dashes in the call: <!--nextpage-->
Hi Tom, yes of course I was missing a few dashes.
But I tried that and it still does not work on a page. I can send you login details, the site is still in maintenance.
Sure, you can use the contact form on this site to contact me :)
Ah, you're using Sections.
This kind of functionality won't work in Sections unfortunately. The next page is generated dynamically by WordPress, and WordPress doesn't know to put it inside a section/what that section would look like.
You would have to use a regular page to use this feature.
Hi Tom,
I cannot switch back to normal layout instead of sections, because of the design of the site.
Is there a different solution with a plug-in or code?
The purpose is to show e.g. 10 lines of text and when the visitor wants to read further they can go to the next bit of text.
I could use a "spoiler" plug-in but maybe you have another idea.
Thanks!
I think a spoiler plugin is probably your best bet.
