Back / Next pagination links are backwards.

[Hafiz Huda]

If a section in the menu is too long, there is an automatic “NEXT” and “BACK” link created. This is fine… but the NEXT button points left and the BACK button points right, which is counter-intuitive by western/American UI standards.

How can I reverse the placement of the links so NEXT sits on the right side and BACK appears on the left?

Thank you for your business first of all. You’re welcome to switch those. They are Next and Previous from the perspective of chronological order (like a blog archive). There are two ways you can go about it.

WP Pagenavi Plugin
The theme has built in support for a common WordPress plugin called WP-Pagenavi which adds numerical pagination. To add the plugin, just install it from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-pagenavi/ and activate the plugin. It will replace the next/previous links for you.

Edit the Theme
You can also change this manually. To do that, go to the appearance section and select edit to open up the theme editor. From the list of files on your right, choose paging.php. Replace all the content in the file with this:

Then save your changes. That should reverse the pagination for you. If you have any questions, let me know.

Thanks,
Bill
