As part of our editing work at SoSH Central, this week we started using <!--nextpage--> tags in the HTML code of WP posts to create page breaks in long-ass articles like this one.
The problem is that the sequential links for the page numbers (1 2 3) show up well down the page -- past the author bio AND the social media buttons -- where most readers won't see them. The last thing we want is readers thinking the article ends bluntly on page one.
As a duct tape fix, we're adding a "continued..." text line just before each page break, and then linking that to the next page. But that's just one more cumbersome manual task in an era that calls for automation, and we already have dozens of such tasks. Does anyone know how to fix this so the page numbers show up right below the end of the text and above the author bio?
Bear in mind I know pretty much nothing about WordPress other than what I've learned in the nearly 3 months since we launched, so I need to be taught this shit like I'm a 5-year-old. Thanks in advance.
