<div class="content_1">
<h1>Add Your 1st Heading Here</h1>
<p>Your content goes here</p>
</div>
<div class="content_2" style="display: none;">
<h1>Add Your 1st Heading Here</h1>
<p>Your content goes here</p>
</div>
<div class="content_3" style="display: none;">
<h1>Add Your 1st Heading Here</h1>
<p>Your content goes here</p>
</div>
<div class="post-pagination">
<a class="button_1" href="#">1</a>
<a class="button_2" href="#">2</a>
<a class="button_3" href="#">3</a>
</div>
Replace the blue text with your own text while creating a post/page.
