This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Multipage

Description

Multipage for WordPress will make you able to order a post in multipages, giving each subpage a title and having a table of contents on the first or on every subpage.

Make order in your posts!

Forget about extremely lengthy pages, diffculty to find a post section. With Multipage you can divide every post into many subpages, giving them a title. Then a table of contents will appear to redirect your visitors to the wanted post subpage.

Benefit from different subpages

Every subpage will generate a different page view, so your statistics will benefit.

Forget about the old `<!–nextpage–>`

The old WordPress code is not useful anymore. Even if you do not indicate a title for your [nextpage] code, Multipage will use a default title in the form “Page #”.

Customize it as you want

Multipage comes with a minimal css in order to make the user customization simpler. You can create a new multipage.css file and put it in the theme folder /css/ so you can use your own CSS. It is important not to change the file provided with the plugin because at the first following update it will be lost. The second option is to modify the Multipage CSS in your own theme CSS, overriding the standard classes.

I successfully used this plugin on one post and I'm running WordPress 5.6.1. I'm now configuring the plugin for use on another post.

Thanks for this. I use it often, and it works well. One suggestion, if I may... I tend to like the TOC at the bottom of the page. If a reader arrives at at the top of a sub page - via search perhaps - it isn't immediately obvious how to find page 1. Would be nice if the title on each page was a link back to the introduction. Thanks again!

I had another pagination plugin ACP (Pagination For Posts), but it's not supported anymore and stopped working properly. Multipage looks like perfect change. I only have to remove some old code (just one SQL request) and modify CSS a little (css didn't work out yet, but I think I'll manage it). Otherwise it's all I need!

This plugin does what it claims without much fuss. Works like a charm. Thanks to the dev.
July 29, 2018
Thank you! Works charming. To make the size of the TOC box only as large as the content, and to highlight the current page, I would suggest to add this CSS to it 🙂 ul#toc{ display:table; border-radius: 5px; padding-bottom:5px; } ul#toc li.current a{ text-decoration:underline; color:#f29400; }
