When requesting the url Wordpress, by default, returns the first page url of any multi page post, on every page. I resolved this issue by checking for pagination and appending the page number to page two onwards of any multi-page post.
Unfortunately
Getting the excerpt and an image for these paginated posts is also problematic. For example, if I want to properly populate the open graph meta tags for image and description I don't want the same image and description to appear for every page in a paginated series. Wordpress does this by default.
I am aware that it is possible to scrape the image and text from the page BUT most such examples on how to do this fail because they include getting the post content or post ID and so they also scrape the first section of the content, not the proper section.
How would I go about making sure that my image and description come from the individual paginated content and not from the first page of the series ?
