Change "next" and "previous" text in pagination

    Hi, I am using this code to make a pagination:

    <?php
global $wp_query;

$big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer

echo paginate_links( array(
	'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
	'format' => '?paged=%#%',
	'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
	'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
) );
?>

    grabbed here at the codex: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/paginate_links

    Anyway, it outputs “previous” and “next”, and I am trying to find a way to replace those two words with text chosen by me, but I don’t see the option.

    Thanks!

  • those are the aguments:

    'prev_text'    => __('? Previous'),
    'next_text'    => __('Next ?'),

    add them to the list in your args array, with new texts;

    example:

    echo paginate_links( array(
	'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
	'format' => '?paged=%#%',
	'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
	'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages,
    'prev_text'    => 'the new Previous text',
    'next_text'    => 'the new Next text'
) );

    be aware that you have to add a comma to the end of the line after $wp_query->max_num_pages
