Change the Location of Page Breaks in an Article

On occasion, you may insert a page break in the wrong location. Also, Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 may insert all of your page breaks at the top of your article. Use Firefox or a more recent version of MSIE to avoid this problem.

Using JCE Editor, you can move page breaks to new locations in an article. Use the built-in HTML editor to see the name of the page break, otherwise all you see in the WYSIWYG editor is a horizontal rule.

To view an article’s HTML code:

  1. Log in (front end or back end).
  2. Locate the article you want to edit.
  3. Open the editor (front end: click on the edit icon to the right of the title; back end: click on the title itself).
  4. Click on the “Advanced Code Editor” button in the tool bar. It’s the rectangle with two angle brackets on it, near the Edit Hyperlink button [<>].

To move page breaks in the Advanced Code Editor:

  1. Locate the page break. It looks like this: hr title=”Page Break Title Appears Here” class=”system-pagebreak”
  2. Select the page break, including the angle brackets, and cut it (Cmd-X or Ctrl-X).
  3. Insert the cursor in the location in the article where you want the page break to appear.
  4. Paste it (Cmd-V or Ctrl-V).
  5. Repeat as required.
  6. When you are done, click [Update].
  7. Click [Save].
  8. View the article in a new browser window to proof your edits.

If you are using sh404SEF you need to regenerate your SEF URLs so the new page breaks link correctly.
