What Is JNews – Split Post?
JNews – Split Post is developed by JNews and is a publishing plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the publishing category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional content creators.
The plugin solves the problem of long, overwhelming single-page articles that discourage readers from finishing a post. It is designed for digital publishers, news websites, and bloggers who want to improve the readability of lengthy guides or lists.
JNews – Split Post Features
The feature set is built around automating article pagination while keeping the user experience interactive and organized.
Content Pagination Controls
Split Post allows users to partition articles automatically by selecting specific heading tags as filters. You can choose which header level triggers a page break and select numbering styles for the split sections. This ensures that even massive articles remain navigable for the reader within the publishing workflow.
Multiple Split Templates
The plugin includes a variety of visual templates for displaying the paginated content. These layouts range from standard pagination buttons to more complex interactive elements. Users can select the specific template that matches their editorial brand directly from the post metabox.
Table of Contents Integration
For specific templates (Template 6 through 14), the plugin can generate a Table of Contents. This feature provides a roadmap for the reader, with support for normal, floating, or combined display types. It makes navigating between different pages of a split post intuitive and quick.
AJAX and Load Mode Options
The plugin provides options for how new sections are loaded when a reader clicks the next page. This includes normal page reloads or more modern loading methods that focus on speed. These settings help maintain a fast browsing experience while increasing total page impressions.
