Hello Guys,

First look at this website..The Listicles

When you click on the first link i.e "10 Of The Most Enigmatic Places On Earth" , you will redirect to an another page. This link consist of 10-posts.

And on redirection, you can visit all the ten posts using "Next" & "Previous" navigation button.

I want to implement the same in my wordpress theme, but no idea how ?

I know we can display the posts of same category on a specific page, but i'm not getting the way to display in the same manner, as above in the example.

So kindly suggest your ideas.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Nuke

        The functionality you're looking for still exists, but WordPress has made it harder to find. The WordPress editor used to have a button that would split a post into multiple pages by inserting the tag <!--nextpage-->.

        You can still use this but you'd need to paste that into the editor yourself (and need to do this in code view). There is an older plugin that adds that button back, but WordPress 3.9 has changed how it adds buttons to the editor, so any older plugins might not work.

        Then from there inside the template file (usually the single.php) you'll have a function called wp_link_pages() Function Reference/wp link pages « WordPress Codex if it doesn't show next/prev then you'll need to change the function parameters.

          Hey Krumble,

          You're absolutely right, we can build this functionality in the same manner as you mentioned...btw i've built a custom plugin to achieve this functionality and working great.

          But i'd also give your idea a try. Thanks for sharing ideas.

    As much as I like WordPress - this is one of those features that just screams "Use Joomla!"

    Joomla has built in 'pagination' (the term for those 1-10 lists at the bottom of the page).
    I'm sure WP has tons of plugins for this, but it's just a part of the basic Joomla platform: just make a category for each "Top 10" list, publish 10 articles (1 through 10) to that category, then create a menu item (Type: Category->Category Blog) that links to that Category, and turn "pagination: on".

    (queue Joomla haters now)
