 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to paginate a single post using the
 *     ```
       <!--more-->
       ```
   
 * tag in the text editor in the post and in the single.php I have
 * `<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>`
 * or
 * `<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link"><span>' . __('
   Pages:','themnific') . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>`
 * As it’s on the Themnific Noxon theme.
 * So I don’t understand why it’s not working. The page just displays the whole 
   post as normal.

 * The `<!--more-->` tag does not work on single Posts and Pages. After all, where
   would the “more” link lead to? Perhaps you should be using the `<!--nextpage--
   >` tag instead?

 * if you want to have a `<!--nextpage-->` button in the editor, try this plugin

 * Thank you esmi – sorry brain malfunction on my part.
 * Thank you alchymyth – I prefer to use the text editor anyway but good to know
   about that plugin 🙂
