Get current page number of splitted article

0 Views

I am trying to find a way to get the current page number of an article that has been splitted into several pages with the use of: 

<!-- nextpage -->

There is an example that can be found here:

But this doesn’t work for me – it always returns 0: 

$paged = $wp_query->get( 'paged' );
echo $paged;

Any idea? Thank you!

  1. For multi-page posts:

    • The $page global variable returns the current page of a multi-page post.
    • The $numpages global variable returns the total number of pages in a multi-page post.

    For paginated archive index pages:

    • The $paged global variable returns the current page number of a paginated archive index.

    To use any of these variables, simply globalize them first:

    global $page;

echo 'The current page number of this post is ' . $page . '.';

  2. There you go: 

    $queryVars = $wp_query->query_vars;
    $pageNum = ($queryVars[page]);

    if($pageNum) { 
        echo "Page n&deg;" . $pageNum; 
    } else { 
        echo "Page n&deg;1";
    }

    Tested with wp 3.2 with basic permalinks and custom.
