WordPress wp_link_pages() Single Post Styling Generator

The wp_link_pages() Generator allows you to build custom code for your WordPress single post pagination.  To define pagination in single posts or pages, you simply need to add <!–nextpage–> inside your post using the editor’s text formatting (versus visual).   If pagination does not automatically appear on your posts, you would add wp_link_pages() to the bottom of your single.php template file.

The flexibility of the wp_link_pages() hook allow you to add custom classes to your navigation, which you can then target using CSS or jquery for use in styling.

To get some inspiration or just a visual idea of some the creative ways you can style the output of your single post navigation, visit our wp_link_pages() examples page.
