   Hello,

   I am trying to create multi-paged posts with a link at the bottom that says "Continue Reading POSTNAME - Part 1,2,etc..."

   I cant figure out how to echo the title/postname in this link. So far I have

   <?php wp_link_pages('before=Continue Reading - &after='); ?>

   I keep thinking that this must be simple but cant seem to figure out. Have tried putting

   <?php wp_link_pages('before=Continue Reading <?php the_title(); ?> - &after='); ?> and tried with "echo" in there as well... What am I missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

   You've got a nested <?php...?> there. Try:

   <?php wp_link_pages('before=Continue Reading '.the_title().' - &after='); ?>

   Thanks a bunch. Only problem is that it switches the title with "continue reading" so that Continue reading is after the post title. Title shows though so that is a start.. Got to figure out how to have it, for example do

   Continue Reading - This is my Post title - Part 1 2

   Also noticed that this shows the title on pages that dont have <!nextpage> assigned - so it is showing the title at the bottom of all posts. Hmmm.

   Doh! Forgot about that problem. you need to use get_the_title().

   Try:

   <?php if(is_paged()) wp_link_pages('before=Continue Reading '.get_the_title().' - &after='); ?>

   is_paged

   This seems to almost work -
   <?php wp_link_pages('before=Continue Reading - '.get_the_title().' - Part &after='); ?>

   Except 1) "-Part" Doesnt show and 2) The title only shows 2 words... hmm.

   Thanks though, this is much better.

   Ahhh, I had a "&" in my title and it seemed to choke on that. Once I changed it to "and", it worked...
