NEXT – PREV creates a duplicate of the last page

  • Hello.

    First, I love your plugin and hope you get the time and incentive to develop it further.

    Now, I’m using the latest version and saw in the page source that the if I split my post in two pages, on the first one you get correct NEXT – PREV metadata, but on the second page there’s also a NEXT entry pointing to page /3/, which doesn’t exist. If you visit that page in the browser you see it’s a distinct URL, but the content is exactly the one in /2/.

    I’ve split the post in three parts, just to see if this behavior happens again and it seems it does. It’s always the last page that gets duplicated.

    Let me know if you need more details.

    Hi, thanks!
    I guess you’re using Yoast SEO, right? These metadata are added by Yoast SEO.

    You’re right, I’m using Yoast.

    But I also have another blog which uses Yoast and an old multipage plugin, and there aren’t any issues there.

    So, I dug a little bit further and I think I know where the problem lies: basically, Yoast sees my post split in two places (the first page has a split point at the top and second page, somewhere in the middle). So if you split the post in two places you get three pages, even if you only have two.

    If I don’t split at the top everything is fixed, but I’m losing the ability to add a title to the first page. It defaults to “Intro”.

    The other plugin I’m talking about uses <!–nextpage–> and <!–pagetitle:xxxx–>, so two different shortcodes. So for the first page you don’t need to split, just add a title. Your plugin merges page split and subtitle in the same shortcode. That’s where the problem comes from, I think…

    Thanks for your report. I can investigate on this but the version 1.5 is ready to be released so I will on the new version after the release.
