Page Breaks

What is a page break?
A page break is piece of code you can put into your story to make it “break” into two pieces. The part before the break will appear on the homepage, followed by a link to the rest of the story. When your reader clicks on the link, they’ll go to the post page where they can see both parts of the story.

How do I create a page break?
To create a page break add the following code to your post. Be sure to put it between the first part of the story (what you want to appear on the homepage) and the second part.

The text between the brackets can say anything you want. Some examples are: read more, more after the jump, etc.

Note: This line of text will not appear on the post page, but it will be the link the reader clicks to see the entire story.

I got it to work once, but now the code IS showing in the draft preview post page. Didn't happen before.

I tried this on a post where I used the "spread" tool....I inserted the code in the text box but it wouldn't work....
Is this only for "regular" text posts?

hi girlfunk - the code only works in the area below the spread box, but not the spread itself, sorry for any confusion!

@fitriahzee - the words in the bracket disappear when you're on the post page. the link only appears when you're on your main homepage. hope that makes sense!

@Anna E - if you're looking at the post page by itself it won't look like it worked. the break text only appears on the homepage. if you're still having troubles, drop a line to help@onsugar.com
