[Resolved] previous next shortcode

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to remove the direction chevrons from the pagination generated with the following shortcodes.
[wpv-post-previous-link format="« %%LINK%%" link="Previous"]
[wpv-post-next-link format="%%LINK%% »" link="Next"]

Solution:

Under the format attribute you can customize the text that is placed here. If you look you will notice that the next and previous chevrons are also written here. These can be removed and they won't appear on the frontend.

I am trying to use the previous next shortcode but I do not want the directional chevron.

Is there a way to remove the chevron and just style the link?

Hi Ian,

There are two sets of shortcodes that are able to produce the paginations.

Let me know exactly which shortcode you are referring to.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Ian,

Thank you for the clarity.

If you look at the %%LINK%% >> text in the shortcode you will notice that there are chevrons before and after the link placeholders. You can simply just delete them.

Thanks,
Shane
