Angsuman’s Multi-Page Plugin: WordPress 2.x Plugin To Create Multi-Paged Articles
May 5th, 2006 by Angsuman ChakrabortyWordPress 2.x (and above) plugin to create multi-paged article. I have been asked several times how I create articles with multiple pages (like this or this). WordPress in recent versions (1.5 and above) does not provide any visible buttons to support multiple pages even though it supports the functionality internally. This plugins enables you to easily break your WordPress article into multiple pages. It works for both WYSIWYG as well as text mode.
Compatibility
Works on 2.x codebase. It hasn’t been tested on 1.5.x codebase and not supported.
Definitely for WordPress 1.5 and above. I am not sure about earlier versions.
Download
Please read the installation procedure below after you download Angsuman’s Multi-Page Plugin.
Installation
1. Upload multipage directory to your wp-content/plugins directory.
2. Log in to WordPress.
3. Click Plugins from the main menu.
4. Scroll to find the name of the plugin - Angsuman’s Multi-Page Plugin, and click Activate.
You are done!
Configuration
It requires no configuration.
Usage
Please activate the plugin as described above.
Click on the Page button in quicktags menu or the graphical icon 
whenever you want to insert page break in your post.

I don’t know about the wysiwyg editor because I never use it, but for the traditional quicktags you can just uncomment the nextpage code in the wp-includes/js/quicktags file (lines 135-143). The code is there in the Quicktags file, it’s just commented out.
May 5th, 2006 at 11:08 am
Moshu,
Previously I used a modified version of quicktags for adding other purposes. However that soon became a pain synchronizing with frequent WordPress updates. Also I couldn’t find it in the (large mess of) wysiwyg editor
Not to mention that modifying WordPress will not be an easy solution for average WordPress users.
Best,
Angsuman

I am using this plugin butnothing happens when I insert the next page link.Actually something does happen, all the content of the post vanishes that should be on the next page.
Anyone have any idea what I may have done wrong?
May 24th, 2006 at 8:16 am
Are you using the default theme?
Multiple pages are displayed with a piece of WordPress code which is present in any well-designed theme like the default theme.
If you are using your custom theme then you should add this piece of code (highlighted):
<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this entry »</p>'); ?>
<?php link_pages('<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', '</p>', 'number'); ?>

When the “pages 1,2,etc” displays beneath the primary post, how does one circumvent the confusion to the reader when they click on “1″ and find the same excerpt loaded?
Is it possible to unlink the “current” page nav number?
June 2nd, 2006 at 7:48 am
> Is it possible to unlink the “current” page nav number?
Sure. Requires some custom coding.
June 30th, 2006 at 7:49 pm
Josh - somewhere in your index file, where it’s displaying the post, it either says
or
Replace that line with:
Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
Pages: ‘, ”, ‘number’); ?>
July 7th, 2006 at 1:26 pm
Mae - thanks for writing. I’m sorry but I can’t read your post due to formatting - what should it replace in the index file?
July 7th, 2006 at 3:57 pm
See this comment.
July 9th, 2006 at 6:25 pm
This is a great plugin. I went to add the custom coding, and found that the Kubrick standard already includes it. Now isn’t that great?
Thank you.
July 9th, 2006 at 10:53 pm
Any proper theme should have it already

Hi
Is there a way of configuring the titles of each individual page? For example I wrote a page and it added a second one. The post will get long overtime as I cover every area of the one particular town and I will start adding more pages. The problem is this:
1. Every page renders with the same title.
2. This causes a slight problem, while I am talking about the same town it is a different area so I would like to append the title like Part-2 so it is immediately identifiable to the visitor that it is a multi-page post.
I would like a way to append each page title and meta description.
Is it possible to enhance as well the continous pages links like 1,2,3,4 etc make it more prominent to alert visitors?
Thanks

[...] This new WYSIWYG is frustrating to use at every step of the way. It is buggy like the worst Microsoft products. The WYSIWYG mode isn’t properly synchronized with the HTML mode. Any changes made in the HTML mode may or may not get into the WYSIWYG mode. Often a change made in HTML mode isn’t idempotent. In other words if you make some change in HTML mode, then close the window and then go back to HTML mode, some of your change may be lost or worse modified. Button implementations are buggy and insufficient. For example I cannot create a anchor tag with name or even a page (you can use my multi-page plugin for that). I needed to create anchor tags with name so I can redirect people from content section to other sections of the site in the same page. I switched to HTML code and created the code. When I switched back there were three tags created for each insertion. And worse it isn’t consistent. So for some it came out fine and others there were 3 duplicates. [...]

Great plugin… The only thing for me is that Page Numbres don’t appear at the bottom of the first page for readers to click… I had to manually link page 2 (see http://www.leblogauto.com/2006/09/alfa-romeo-8c-competizione-la-version-de-production.html as way of example…)
Ay idea why?

Hi,
I’ve installed the multipage plugin and activated it however I do not use the visual rich editor therefor I do not have a quick links selection. What code do I use to tell the plugin it’s a mulitpage post?
Thanks!
Michael
October 9th, 2006 at 7:34 pm
Click on the Page button in quicktags menu.

October 9th, 2006 at 10:32 pm
I had to deactivate several plugins and when I did the “Next Page” quicklink now shows.
So… there is a limited amount of display space in the quicklinks bar. If anyone else cannot see your “Next Page” button try deactivating one or two plugins.
October 14th, 2006 at 10:14 am
Love the multipage plugin!
Question - What code do we use to insert the page numbers at the beginning of the article as well as where we manually enter it using the quicklinks?
Also, we want to enter a small graphic after the page numbers - how do we do that?
October 14th, 2006 at 10:25 am
One more question concerning the multipage plugin.
When you go to the next page notice there is no space between the Chitika ad and the body of the post. We have tried moving the Chitika ad above the article title but there is still no space. How do we ad space?

October 15th, 2006 at 10:30 pm
Could this be used to pages also?
October 16th, 2006 at 3:54 am
> Could this be used to pages also?
I haven’t tried it. If WordPress supports paging of pages then my plugin will support it.
October 16th, 2006 at 4:04 am
@Michael
Check the comment above for code to insert.
> How do we ad space?
Try adding empty paragraphs or breaks.
October 17th, 2006 at 4:12 pm
Adding empty paragraphs or breaks puts in WAY too much space.
Michael
October 17th, 2006 at 4:17 pm
I would like to see it as a drop down box with pages labeled what they page are. Example: http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTE5OCwxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==
October 24th, 2006 at 12:45 am
Hi,
your plugin is very nice, but I don’t know: it´s possible support in Dean´s FCK editor and how?
Thanks
October 24th, 2006 at 6:00 am
Yes it is possible.
October 24th, 2006 at 1:15 pm
Hmm - may do a mash up with http://nonull.com/pmwiki/Plugin/JumpTo?userlang=English
So each time you press the “next page” insert button - it will ask for the name of the page. Looks like it would take some math and some extra javascripting to get it done (the later is not my forte).

I have installed “Angsuman’s Multi-Page Plugin” at my blog . Wordpress 2.1.2 , Classic Wordpress theme .
It shows the multi-page, but only the first one shows the correct “font”, the other pages shows other kind of “font”.
See it at
http://www.conteaqui.com.br/uncategorized/projeto-sorriso/
shows the correct “font”. But http://www.conteaqui.com.br/uncategorized/projeto-sorriso/2/
does not show the correct “font”.
I think it maybe an “css” problem …. but I can not find what to fix .
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Yes, it’s working, I add the additional code (comment #6) in index.php & home.php
May 23rd, 2007 at 6:59 pm
I’ve added the following code in index.php and singlepost.php but still atually breaked pages were not created.

So the problem is ………
Pages (after first page) are not displaying?

Great plugin! Note: A perfect companion to this is the CompleteRSS plugin, if you want your full article to show up in the RSS feed.
November 4th, 2007 at 6:08 pm
Just for reference, I found out that if you add the
<!–nextpage–>
Manually in the code section, it works fine.
I may have a look at the code within the next few weeks unless someone beats me to it, to try and find the problem.
Hope that helps anyone that may come across the same issue. It only seems to affect the latest builds of WP (I know for a fact 2.0.x worked fine, so its a change somewhere after)
Cheers all
December 20th, 2007 at 3:37 pm
If you can’t read Agent’s code above, here it is:
[open angle bracket]!–nextpage–[close angle bracket]
Replace the parts in brackets with the proper symbol.
