Twenty Seventeen: Pagination links don't appear for home pages

[dimitris.m]

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a new page and split its content with <!--nextpage-->
• Set this page to be your Home one (under Settings/Reading)
• Visit the page in the front-end

The Pagination links aren't shown at all in the bottom of the page.

This works if the page isn't set for Home and also works with the "TwentySixteen" theme.

Thanks for reporting this, @dimitris.m!

I can recreate this as well, both by trying to add a page break to the front page's content, and trying to add a page break to one of the pages showing on the front page.

This happens with both the classic and block-based editor.

Updates patch to work in content-front-page.php and content-front-page-panels.php

I updated the patch so that pagination will work on the homepage and in the homepage panels. Would love to get some feedback from other devs on this one.
