Is there a way to make a article for a page I added to wordpress to be multi part like the article would on show the first 50 lines and then have a link to page 2 of the article, page 3 of the article, etc?
http://www.lesterchan.net/wordpress/readme/wp-pagenavi.html plugin. Looks like the latest version is 2.7 compatible In my opinion it's best to separate with new posts. People don't like to read articles that long. Make your articles quick and to the point. When you hit a new Paragraph or Title make it a new post. http://wordpressmodder.org/how-to-split-a-post-or-page-into-many-69.html how to use the nextpage tag http://www.bytesforall.com/wordpress-test/9/2008/03/a-post-split-into-3-pages/ coding http://geekycoder.wordpress.com/2007/11/22/paginate-post-in-wordpress-to-make-loading-faster/ http://technical-itch.co.uk/2007/06/26/wordpress-pagination-plugin/ plugin review
The <!--nextpage--> tag is correct, but, not all themes support the tag. That is unless the wordpress developers fixed that problem. From what I understand, the theme has to have some kind of code so that it recognizes the tag. But I read that about a year ago. So maybe the wordpress developers might have fixed that problem. but if you add the code and it does not work, it might be a problem with the theme. internetmarketingiq - no insult towards you, but I LOL'ed when I saw your comment. Some of my post are over 1,000 words. One article I'am working on is 5 pages long and around 13,000 words.
Congratulations, but you really should break it up into multiple posts. Again, you are going to bore people out of your site. Unless you are splitting the atom, or are Sidney Sheldon, people will not read an article that long. On top of that, splitting it up into multiple posts (if it is interesting), is a tactic that seasoned blogger use to bring people back another day. If you do that a few times..readers will get used to returning to your blog. (duh) Blogging is not just writing, it's also marketing.
This is completely correct. If you use the <!--nextpage--> tag and have problems, check your page.php file (or single.php, if you want single posts) for something similar to this code: <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?> PHP: If it's not there, just add that below where you see <?php the_content(); ?>. This will display the page links directly after the post/page content. Just for future reference.
The last post I made is a time line of how different plagues have affected Europe. It starts with the year 80 AD and goes all the way through to the 1800s. One year might have just one sentence about an outbreak of the plague. And the next year would be 3 or 4 paragraphs. Breaking the article into parts would lose its effect on the reader. Please do not classify all "blogs" into a single group. Your blog might be about "marketing". Mine is about information. ----------------------------------------- Back on topic - in an article that has more then one page, there will be numbers so people can quick jump to a certain page. My opinion, the page numbers that are boxes get more attention then just a number. Also, if you have the tags list at the bottom of the article, the reader might not see the multiple pages because of the tags. So you may want to something to make the multiple page links stand out a little bit.
I'm a marketer and damn good at what I do because I understand what Search Engines are looking for. If you want to make money you play by the rules, if you want to write articles that get read then you learn the rules and you make your content fit them. I understand not everyone is online to make money. But my advice is sound. Google will NOT crawl long posts and thus your content will NOT get indexed. So how are people going to find you? There are certainly other ways but why fight the #1 Search Resource? While you are writing your articles other people who understand and follow the "rules" will be making money. It's really that simple. Source http://www.googleguide.com/results_page.html
