Automatically Paginate Posts

Description

Automatically paginate WordPress content by inserting the <!--nextpage--> Quicktag at intervals controlled by plugin’s settings.

Option is provided to control which post types are automatically paginated (default is the “Post” post type). Supports any public custom post types (non-public types are supported via the autopaging_post_types filter).

Option is also provided to specify how many pages content should be broken out over, or how many words should be included per page.

  1. Upload automatically-paginate-posts to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate plugin through the WordPress Plugins menu.
  3. Configure plugin by going to Settings > Reading.
Where do I set the plugin’s options?

The plugin’s options are added to the built-in Reading settings page in WordPress.

Can I disable the plugin’s functionality for specific content?

Yes, the plugin adds a metabox (Classic Editor) and a sidebar component (Block Editor) to individual items in supported post types that allows the autopaging to be disabled on a per-post basis.

How can I add support for my custom post type?

Navigate to Settings > Reading in WP Admin to enable this plugin for your custom post type.

You can also use the filter autopaging_post_types to add support by appending your post type’s name to the array.

What filters does this plugin include?

  • autopaging_post_types – modify the post types supported by this plugin. Will override the values set under Settings > Reading.
  • autopaging_num_pages_default – modify the default number of pages over which a post is displayed. Will override the value set under Settings > Reading.
  • autopaging_max_num_pages – override the maximum number of pages available in the settings page dropdown when the paging type is “pages”.
  • autopaging_max_num_words – override the minimum number of words allowed per page page when the paging type is “words”.
  • autopaging_num_pages – change the number of pages content is displayed on at runtime. Filter provides access to the full post object in addition to the number of pages.
  • autopaging_num_words – change the number of words displayed per page at runtime. Filter provides access to the full post object in addition to the number of words.
  • autopaging_supported_block_types_for_word_counts – specify which block types are considered when splitting a block-editor post by word count.

Plugin works well. Can it be configured to work with 1 page? Without it splitting.

Perfect

Works beautifully with WP 5.5

By Josh Journey (ljosh) on August 17, 2020

After updating to WordPress 5.5 a custom function that automated pagination broke on all sites. Thankfully this plugin makes it extraordinarily easy to have automated page breaks along with an unexpected feature called "Approximate words per page". It even worked with other custom code. Something that would benefit anyone who either wants to break up large pages or load other things like maps into tabs.

Straight Forward WP Numiric Pagination Plugin

By mystagogue00 on August 4, 2020

"Automatically Paginate Posts" is the easiest, non gimmicky Numeric Pagination WordPress Plugin. I know I have used it before, and was getting frustrated not finding it; and trying all the other free and paid plugins without the same a couple clicks simple pagination. - Plugin can set numeric links/buttons to 10 pages in total. - Plugin can split the page by words [I love it!] - Easy, straight forward plugin Thank you for the plugin.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do!

By Netspark on January 14, 2019

the <!--nextpage--> tag allows you to individually paginate your selected pages/posts. Hint: If you want to control which posts shall be paginated, you can set the "Auto pagination" criteria to 100'000 words and individually work with the tag above. This way you only have paginated pages/posts where intended!

So far so great
