Adding Next Page
-
Hi,
I have created a Post which is quite long and which I would like to split into multiple pages with a navigation page 1, page 2 etc at the bottom.
I have tried, via the editor to add <!nextpage-> but Elementor warns that this could break the page?
I also looked in the toolbar whilst in Elementor editing mode, but can’t see anything that would do this.
I’d be obliged if you could offer any suggestions on how to achieve this.
Many Thanks

Hi,
When can I expect a response to my question, please?Hello,
Elementor does not natively support the tag
<!nextpage->in the same way that the classic WordPress editor does. Here are some suggestions on how you can achieve a multipage post in Elementor:1. Manual Pagination Using Buttons or Anchors
You can manually create a multi-page effect by dividing your content into separate sections within Elementor and then using buttons or anchor links for navigation between them. Here’s how you could do it:
- Divide your content: Create separate sections for each “page” of your content within the same Elementor page.
- Add navigation: At the end of each section, add buttons or links that say “Next Page” or “Previous Page,” linking to the next or previous section. You can use Elementor’s Anchor widget to link directly to different sections of the page, simulating a multi-page navigation.
2. Elementor Posts Widget
For blog posts, you can use the Elementor Posts widget, which allows you to display posts in a grid, carousel, or other formats. While this doesn’t split a single post into multiple pages, it can be used to create a paginated list of posts, which might be useful depending on your specific needs.3. Customization with Shortcodes or Plugins
If you’re comfortable with a bit of coding or willing to use additional plugins, you can achieve more traditional pagination within Elementor:
- Shortcodes: Some plugins or custom code snippets provide shortcodes that can be inserted into Elementor’s Text Editor widget to create pagination.
- Elementor Add-ons: There are several third-party Elementor add-ons that might offer more granular control over pagination and multi-page layouts. Plugins like “Elementor Custom Breakpoints” might offer solutions but always check compatibility and functionality according to your needs.
Important Tips:
- Backup First: Always back up your site before making significant changes, especially when experimenting with new plugins or code.
- Test in Staging: If possible, test these changes in a staging environment first to avoid any impact on your live site.
- Compatibility Check: Ensure that any plugins or add-ons you decide to use are compatible with your version of WordPress and Elementor.
I’d also suggest you check out our Elementor Community forum. We have created it to connect Elementor users together and share knowledge

Thanks for that,The problem is that the post is very big and takes ages to load in elementor so I need to split it by using a navigation bar.
Also, I’m using free version so the plugin does not have the now and next available?Hi @rik0399,
If the post is large and takes a long time to load in Elementor, splitting it with a navigation bar is a good solution.
Yes, in the free version of Elementor, the “now” and “next” features/pagination widget is not available.
Kind regards,
LOL!
Did you ‘copy and paste’ what I said earlier?
So there is no solution unless I buy the Pro Version
How dumb is that …Hi there,
Unfortunately, this feature is only provided in the Elementor Pro.
There might be third-party plugins available that have such a feature so you can join our Elementor Facebook Group and check with our users there for such a plugin recommendation.
Finally, I would like to apologize for not being able to provide this particular solution at the moment. I hope for your understanding.
I wish you all the best, and have a great day!

Hi,
Well, we find that wholly unacceptable,
This is a ‘basic’ function?
Why on earth would that be excluded?
Surely you need to take another look at this and reconsider?
Hi @rik0399,
Actually, I also consider it would be great to achieve this. If you like, you can submit this as a feature request on GitHub: https://github.com/orgs/elementor/discussions/categories/feature-request
Alternatively, there could also be third-party plugins or add-ons available that can offer that feature so I would advise you to join Facebook groups such as https://www.facebook.com/groups/elementorandwhichplugin/ and check with our users there for such a plugin recommendation.
Thank you so much for your kind understanding.
Have an amazing day!
