Inserting pagination in a post screws up site.

  • Hi folks,

    When I ever I use the

    <!–nextpage–>

    code to split my lengthy posts into more than one page, strange things happen to my site. Firstly the pagination does not work (no links to other pages appear), and secondly, it shoots everything in my sidebar all the way down to the bottom of the page. Can anyone offer a fix or a theory?

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    I haven not tried that yet, but I will give it a shot. I’ve got a number of unecessary plugins running, so I will try to clear them out. Thanks for the advice.

    is it possible that you are using additional html tags that are opened at the beginning of your posts content and are closed at the end, and are therefore broken if you use the <!--nextpage--> inbetween?

    can you post a link to one of the trouble posts?

    I created an example post alchymyth:
    https://www.lasercola.com/2011/06/example-post/

    The page break is supposed to be in between those two lines of text in the post.

    that is what comes from the <!--nextpage-->

    <p><strong><!--<span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="">nextpage</span>–></strong></p>

    do you have a spell-checker plugin or so activated?

    btw:
    there is a plugin to add a ‘nextpage’ button to the editor:

    maybe that would help with the problem?

    In my profile, I have the box checked to spell-check/proofread the document. This wreaks havoc with the nextpage feature? Also, this may be dumb question, but do I insert the <!–nextpage–> tag in the visual mode of the post editor, or do I have to switch to the HTML mode? Thank you.

    it seems that you have to switch to the hml mode to enter the ‘nextpage’ tag;

    however, i just tried the plugin which works fine in the visual editor;

    hopefully this will then not interfere with the spellcheck.

    Thanks for your suggestions. I disabled the automatic proofreading, and posted another example post, and that seemed to work. However, no my problem is that the “Page 1,2” links at the bottom are very tiny and sit just underneath my sharing icons. I would rather they be above them, but oh well.
