• Stylesheet
  You can define the necessary CSS definitions in two places:

— Specific pagebar settings —

• Automatic insertion
  If you would like to get pagebar inserted in the blog automatically you need to select this option and additionally the position where to insert pagebar (see next section).

• Positioning
  If you have selected automatic insertion you can select where to insert the pagebar:

  • Front of postings -> Front of first posting
  • Behind postings -> After the last posting
  • Footer -> In the footer (footer.php)
    (If “Automatic insertion” is not selected these options are disbled.)

• Integration
  You can remove the standard wordpress navigation manually or by setting the “remove old navigation” checkbox.
  Remove standard navigation: Remove the standard navigation text of WordPress. This only works if the author of your currently used theme hasn’t changed the CSS class of the standard navigation (“.navigation” that is).
  (If “Automatic insertion” is not selected these options are disabled.)

— Specific multipagebar settings —

• Inherit settings
  If you check this option all basic options will be inherited from the postbar settings. Additionally all these options are removed from the multipagebar settings tab.

• All pages link
  pagebar gives you the possibility to display all parts of a multipaged post. Checking this setting will add a link behind the pagebar allowing the user to display all parts.

• All pages label
  Text display for the “All pages link”.
