paginate pages?

You can paginate a page, by inserting a <! read more > tag into it. You can find the read more tag in the icons above the edit screen. It wouldn’t really ‘paginate’ a page. But it would break it up for your readers.

Well this as page.php in the WordPress Default theme provides a paginated list of pages.

<?php
get_header(); ?>
	<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn" role="main">

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args=array(
  'paged' => $paged,
  'orderby' => 'date',
  'order' => 'ASC',
  'post_type' => 'page',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => 3,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1

);
query_posts($args) ;

?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

			<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
				<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>  by <?php the_author_posts_link() ?> </small>

				<div class="entry">
					<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
				</div>

				<p class="postmetadata"> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  </p>
			</div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

		<div class="navigation">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
		</div>

	<?php else : ?>

		<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
		<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
		<?php get_search_form(); ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

	</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

so how does it divide up the page? the real estate plugin lists all the pages in the same way that wordpress lists the posts by default. you can see what i mean here: https://quailpropertymanagement.com/home/rentals. Here is an idea that i had that almost works:
I have this little bit of code to increment a counter.
i declare this before the loop: <?php $postnum = 1; ?>'
then this in the loop:
`<?php echo “listing number:” . $postnum++ . “
\n”;?>
<?php if ($postnum == 6)
echo “<!–nextpage–>”; ?>

I did this so that on every 6th listing it would create a new page. but, <!--nextpage--> just displays as a regular html comment when executed in the php file. what code does <!--nextpage--> pull? could i just stick that in?

Thanks!

Sorry I misunderstood–you want to split one page in to multiple pages.

Yes you would use the <!--nextpage--> to specify where the ‘splits’ are to occur, then use the template tag, wp_link_pages(). Look at the WordPress Default themes wp-content/themes/default/page.php for an example of that.
