 * I would like to know how to edit the post/page navigation. I would like for it
   to say “Next” and “Previous” instead of the title of the next/ previous post.
   Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here is a picture of the post navigation
   i currently have [](http://pentaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Post-Nav.png)
 * Thanks!

 * You’ll have to edit Buddypress Default for that.
 * Log in your Admin Dashboard.
    Go to Appearance – > Editor -> Buddypress Default
   Open Single Post (single.php)
 * Look for,
 *     ```
       <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_post_link( '%link', '<span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '&larr;', 'Previous post link', 'buddypress' ) . '</span> %title' ); ?></div>
       						<div class="alignright"><?php next_post_link( '%link', '%title <span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '&rarr;', 'Next post link', 'buddypress' ) . '</span>' ); ?></div>
       					</div>
       ```
   
 * and replace it with,
 *     ```
       <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_post_link( '%link', '<span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '&larr;', 'Previous post link', 'buddypress' ) . '</span> Previous' ); ?></div>
       						<div class="alignright"><?php next_post_link( '%link', 'Next <span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '&rarr;', 'Next post link', 'buddypress' ) . '</span>' ); ?></div>
       					</div>
       ```

 * This works but will be overwritten when you upgrade BuddyPress or your theme.
   It might be wiser to “translate” the string using a plugin or PO Edit even though
   this isn’t really a translation but rather a customisation. That way the change
   will stay if you keep your translation files (.po and .mo file). Read more here:

 * Good luck!
