# Pagination issue… splitting posts

 * Hi! Love this this theme!
 * Having problems with splitting posts. I need to add left and right arrows between
   pages in the split post. Tried with various plugins, but nothing changes. All
   I get are the Page number boxes.
 * Do you have any suggestions on how I can implement this?
 * Thanks
    Peter

 * Hi Peter,
 * thanks for using MH Magazine _lite_ and we’re happy that you like the theme.
 * Please have a look in your WordPress dashboard under **“Appearance => Customize
   => Theme Options => Posts/Pages Options”**. There you will find an option to _“
   Enable post / attachment navigation”_.

 * Thanks for replying…
 * that option was already active. However it only allowed page numbers in boxes,
   and no arrows as an alternative to the numbered page boxes.
 * I tried deactivating this, then the next article/previous article navigation 
   disappeared.
 * Is there another way to achieve the left & right arrows on either side of the
   page number boxes, when a long post is split up using the “nextpage” shortcode?

 * Sorry, it seems there has been a misunderstanding. We assumed that you mean the
   general next/previous post links (as these are the ones with arrows), but it 
   seems you were referring to paginated posts which is not related to the option
   we mentioned above as this is something else.
 * In case you need anything else for paginated posts than what is provided by the
   theme, you would need to code a custom solution. You can find the code in the
   file _functions.php_ as `mh_posts_pagination();` and the `wp_link_pages();` function
   is referenced in the WordPress Codex: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_link_pages](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_link_pages)
