Multiple pages per chapter

    Sorry, know this is the second post but have been uploading a few of my stories one has a single chapter of over 9000 words (as many of them tend to) and it goes over multiple pages which is hugely un-friendly to people who are reading on mobiles and tablets just wanting to scan down the page – can this be over-ridden at all? If not I will have to look for an alternative because less than 500 words a page and a single chapter taking up 15 button depresses is a little unwieldy.

    I previously used eFiction and came to this because I thought with the support it would be easier, but this is proving rather more complex and I maintain websites for a living.

    Hi, I’ll have an answer for you on Monday. Thank you.

    To remove the pagination and have the entire story display on one page, you’d edit includes/fe-super-fiction-class.php at line 4167 line

    Change this:

    “$post_content = FeFiction_Create_Pages_From_Content($_POST[‘post_content’]);”

    To this:

    “$post_content = $_POST[‘post_content’];”

    Please note: as you do plugin updates, you’ll have to edit that line again.

    Hi, sorry to resurrect this post, but your fix doesn’t work.

    For one, there’s nothing relevant on line 4167. The line in question is 3878 of that PHP file. Changing it as you’ve suggested does nothing.

    I checked another response to this same problem in the support forum here, which directed the user to this URL for a fix: https://writing-archive.com/index.php/wpffwa-customizations/

    Please note that that’s not actually the URL you directed them to, but the URL you used was broken, so I had to hunt high and low on your site for that because all of the links there are broken now. You may want to check into that :/

    There, you suggested going into the functions.php file (of the theme?) and adding:

    remove_action('save_post', 'FeFiction_Save_Post_Paginate_Content');

    That didn’t work either.

    I even tried editing line 8 of fe-super-fiction-config.php from 375 to a bigger number (as also suggested in that URL), and couldn’t change it at all.

    None of your fixes so far have worked. Do you have any suggestions? Who in their right mind wants paginated fic anyway? No site I’ve ever been to has it–not fanfiction.net, not AO3, not even the efiction software. Why would you paginate a story at all, especially in the digital age of people reading on smartphones and tablets?

    LesFan.com uses pagination. We developed the plugin, initially, for that site. Then, we expanded it.

    The developer is on holiday until next week. We’ll address all fixes then. Specific references to lines of code change with each revision of the plugin.

    We’re in the process of removing writing-archive.com from multi-site to standalone. Broken links will be fixed quickly.

    We’ll get back to you next week. I guarantee he’ll have a solution for pagination. Please sit tight until then.
