Get current page number of splitted article

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:

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