rkgneuschulOK I think I've gone part of the way towards solving the persistent issue of getting the nextpage tag to work in a home page; please note this is not yet a complete solution, and it's also pretty crude coding; at this iteration the more tag doesn't work with this code, and the homepage checking is not yet sufficiently rigorous to overcome all possible error conditions - see the foot of http://cmslamp.com/category/wordpress/ for discussion and a possible better checking method.
In your main page template immediately after the header call, insert
<?php /* required when home page has "nextpage" tag */ global $more; ?>
In your main page template immediately before the get the content call insert
<?php /* required when home page has "nextpage" tag */ $more = 0; ?>
In your main page template immediately after the content call, insert
<?php /* for nextpage tag processing */
if (is_front_page() != 0) {
/* DEBUG ONLY echo "<br />The home page ID is " . get_the_ID(); */
/* DEBUG ONLY find the number of subpages and display number if more than 1 */
// if (isset($numpages)) {if ($numpages >=2) {echo "<br />The number of pages is "; echo $numpages; }}
?>
<p></p>
<?php
$i = 1;
if ($numpages >=2) {
echo "<h4>PAGES: ";
while ($i <= $numpages):
$gopt = get_option('siteurl');
$npage = "/?page_id=";
$gid = get_the_ID();
$spage = "&page=";
$spagenum = $i;
$string1 = $gopt . $npage . $gid . $spage . $spagenum;
echo "<a href='$string1'>" . $i . "</a> " ;
$i++;
endwhile;
echo "</h4>"; }
?>
<?php
} else { wp_link_pages('before=<p>&after=</p>&next_or_number=number&pagelink=page %');}
/* end homepage processing for nextpage links */ ?>As I said, it's crude, but I'd welcome feedback; if after further dev/testing it is still robust in several themes then I may consider rewriting it for a plugin architecture with filters.
