Want to split content into multiple pages without using any plugins? Well, you can do that using the WordPress Page Break Block. This block allows users to break up a post or page into sections to improve readability and better website navigation.
It is perfect for creating multi-page tutorials, long-form articles, or step-by-step guides using the block. Today, we will discuss how to use the Page Break block in WordPress and a short overview of the block. Stay with us from the start to the end!
How to Use the Page Break Block in WordPress?
We will not use any third-party plugin to use the page break block. We will use the core Page Break block offered by WordPress. Follow the steps below and master all its functionalities.
Go to your post or page where you want to add this block.
Now, hit the “+” icon (Add Block) (1), type “Page Break” in the search box (2), and click on the Page Break block (3).
Try to add the block in between your content. So, decide first where you want to add the block.
The more page break blocks you add, the more page numbers you create. As I have added only a single-page break block, it is showing 2 pages.
After adding the block, make sure to check it in the preview. Then, you must save or publish your post or page.
No customization is included in the block. So you cannot customize it.
So that’s how you add a page break to your post or page.
