Can't break post into separate pages

    I have a free WordPress account and am using the WordPress site to publish and edit my blog. I want to keep things simple and start with a free plan and theme until I’ve been blogging long enough to know I want to invest more in the blog.

    I was very happy with the Singl theme at first until I found that the <!––nextpage––> tag does not work on this theme to break a post into multiple pages. The advice to add <?php wp_link_pages(); ?> on single.php for themes where this tag doesn’t work automatically is either something I haven’t been able to figure out to do or something I can’t do as a free user (when I go to Customize, WordPress tells me I need to upgrade to Premium).

    I was frustrated enough with this to start looking at other free themes, but none captured the same look and feel I was able to get with Singl. Is there a way for me to create multiple-page posts on this theme as a free user?

    Thanks so much!

    Kathryn,

    Thank you for your offer of help! I spent a lot of time trying other themes with a test post I’d written that had pagination to see which themes supported it for a free account on WordPress.com. I found that none of the themes worked for me as well as Singl, so I resigned myself to not using pagination for now. Then, when I switched the theme back to Singl, my pages showed up! Weird! I don’t know if it was a bug the first time around or what, but it’s all good now ??

    Very weird – in any case, glad to hear you’re all set!
