# Post navigation for paginated posts

 * When using the <!–nextpage–> option from WordPress for splitting a post into 
   multiple pages, the Post Navigation from the theme doesn’t work properly. It 
   should add the appropriate pages as Previous and Next from the paginated post,
   instead of different posts.
 * Also, paginated posts should have link rel=”prev” and link rel=”next” tags as
   per Google’s guidelines. Same as paginated Category/Tags pages have.
    [https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html](https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html)
 * So I’m guessing this is a bug since categories, search pages, tags etc. that 
   are paginated are okay for both the Post Navigation option and for the link rel
   tags, but paginated POSTS using the <!–nextpage–> page break don’t work. They
   should have similar settings.

 * Hi,
 * Sorry, I am not able to replicate your issue.
    It’s working properly on my test
   site. Please see my screen-cast. [https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cblOfr2RiI](https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cblOfr2RiI)
 * Please check whether it’s a cache issue or plugin conflict on your website.

 * The numbered pagination works fine. I’m talking about the “Post navigation” option
   that’s added from the theme settings:

 * And of course the link rel=”prev” and link rel=”next” tags that are missing.

 * Hi,
 * Using `<!--nextpage-->` to break a post will result in numbered pagination under
   a post content, which is what I had shown you in my screen-cast.
    It’s for breaking
   up a post content into pages. It’s still within the same post.
 * This has noting to do with previous and next post navigation. They are different
   features.

 * They are not missing, it’s found within the link.
    Please see my screen-shot.
