How to Split a Blog Post into Multiple Pages on Blogger

Now I am going to share the method to split blog post into multiple pages on Blogger. Follow the steps below and do not miss any points. Otherwise, this may not work on your website.

Step 1: Edit Your Blog Template in HTML Mode

• Log in to Blogger Dashboard
• Now go to Theme > Customize > Edit HTML 
• After that press Ctrl + F and search for  ]]></b:skin> and paste the below CSS code above  ]]></b:skin> or </style>

/* change color code #ff0033 for your template */
.postNav{display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;justify-content:center; font-size:90%;line-height:20px; color:#fefefe; margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:0}
.postNav > *{display:flex;align-items:center; padding:10px 13px;margin-bottom:10px; color:inherit;background-color:#ff0033; border-radius:2px;text-decoration:none} .postNav > *:hover{opacity:.8}
.postNav .current{background-color:rgba(0,0,0,.03); color:#989b9f}
.postNav{font-size:13px; margin:50px 0} .postNav > *{padding:8px 15px;border-radius:2px;margin-bottom:8px} .postNav > *:not(:last-child){margin-right:8px}

• Finally, copy the following JavaScript code and paste it above </body> or &lt;!--</body>--&gt;&lt;/body&gt; and then click on the Save icon to save the change.

<b:if cond='data:view.isPost'>
<script>/*<![CDATA[*/ document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {function checkChildren(nodes, elemId){for(i=0;i<nodes.length;i++){if(nodes[i].id==elemId){return nodes[i];}else{return checkChildren(nodes[i].children, elemId);}}} function isNumeric(value) {var type = typeof value; return (type === 'number' || type === 'string') && !Number.isNaN(value - Number.parseFloat(value));} var nodes = document.querySelector('div.post-body').children; var splitdong = checkChildren(nodes, 'postSplit').innerHTML; var content = splitdong.split('<!--nextpage-->'); var url = window.location.href; var url = url.split('?page='); var no = url[1] + '&m=4'; var no = no.split('m'); var no = no[0]; var no = no.replace('&', ''); var url = url[0]; var i = 1; if( !isNumeric(no) ){var no = 1;} document.getElementById('postSplit').innerHTML = content[no-1]; if( content.length > 1 ) {document.getElementById('postSplit').innerHTML += "<div class='postNav' id='postPager'><span class='page current'>Pages :</span></div>";} if( no>1 ){document.getElementById('postPager').innerHTML += "<!-- <a href='"+url+"?page="+(no-1)+"' title='Previous Page'>Prev</a> -->";} content.forEach(function(item) { if( no == i ){document.getElementById('postPager').innerHTML += "<span class='current'>"+i+"</span>";} else {document.getElementById('postPager').innerHTML += "<a href='"+url+"?page="+i+"'>"+i+"</a>";} i++; }); if(content.length > no){ var nn = parseInt(no) + 1; document.getElementById('postPager').innerHTML += "<a href='"+url+"?page="+nn+"'>Next</a>";} }); /*]]>*/</script>
</b:if>

Plus-UI and Median UI Blogger Template users use the below JavaScript code instead of this one. Otherwise, Pagination will not work in your template.

<b:if cond='data:view.isPost'>
<script>/*<![CDATA[*/ document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {function checkChildren(nodes, elemId){for(i=0;i<nodes.length;i++){if(nodes[i].id==elemId){return nodes[i];}else{return checkChildren(nodes[i].children, elemId);}}} function isNumeric(value) {var type = typeof value; return (type === 'number' || type === 'string') && !Number.isNaN(value - Number.parseFloat(value));} var nodes = document.querySelector('div.postBody').children; var splitdong = checkChildren(nodes, 'postSplit').innerHTML; var content = splitdong.split('<!--nextpage-->'); var url = window.location.href; var url = url.split('?page='); var no = url[1] + '&m=4'; var no = no.split('m'); var no = no[0]; var no = no.replace('&', ''); var url = url[0]; var i = 1; if( !isNumeric(no) ){var no = 1;} document.getElementById('postSplit').innerHTML = content[no-1]; if( content.length > 1 ) {document.getElementById('postSplit').innerHTML += "<div class='postNav' id='postPager'><span class='page current'>Pages :</span></div>";} if( no>1 ){document.getElementById('postPager').innerHTML += "<!-- <a href='"+url+"?page="+(no-1)+"' title='Previous Page'>Prev</a> -->";} content.forEach(function(item) { if( no == i ){document.getElementById('postPager').innerHTML += "<span class='current'>"+i+"</span>";} else {document.getElementById('postPager').innerHTML += "<a href='"+url+"?page="+i+"'>"+i+"</a>";} i++; }); if(content.length > no){ var nn = parseInt(no) + 1; document.getElementById('postPager').innerHTML += "<a href='"+url+"?page="+nn+"'>Next</a>";} }); /*]]>*/</script>
</b:if>

Step 2: Paginate a Blogger Post

Now that we have added the Blogger post pagination code into the Blogger template, now we need to write the blog post properly to make this pagination work. Follow this writing typo to make the pagination work.

How to write properly to split blog post into multiple pages

While writing a content or blog post you must keep everything inside the following HTML tags. To be able to do that turn on HTML view and insert the below HTML code. And then write the rest of your blog post inside it.

<div id='postSplit'>
<!-- your content here -->
</div>

Wherever you want to split your blog post to the next page, add the following comment tag except for the last page. 

<!--nextpage-->

So the whole HTML structure of your blog post will look something like this:

<div id='postSplit'>

<h2>Heading 1</h2>
<p>paragraph here</p>
<!--nextpage-->

<h2>Heading 2</h2>
<p>paragraph here</p>
<!--nextpage-->

<h2>Heading 3</h2>
<p>paragraph here</p>

</div>
