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.
