# Setting navigation text…

 * Hello,
 * I’d like to be able to change the Prev and Next text to chevrons. The simplest
   way would be for me to include the navigationText parameter in the shortcode,
   but it requires the use of square brackets which conflicts with the shortcode
   parser. Any ideas how I’d do it?
 * Many thanks.

 * The solution that worked for me was to bypass the shortcode by sticking this 
   in the template file…
 *     ```
       <?php
       	echo owl_function(
       			array(	category => "slider",
       				singleItem => "true",
       				autoPlay => "true",
       				stopOnHover => "true",
       				navigation => "true",
       				navigationText => "<,>"
       			)
       	);
   
       	if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
       		the_content();
       	endwhile;
       ?>
       ```
   
 * As an aside, I think the Owl Carousel might screw up the loop because when I 
   first did it, the call was just above the_content and it didn’t output my page
   content.

 * try to just add this attribute [navigationText=”<,>”]
 * sample shortcode:
    [owl-carousel category=”Sample Carousel” items=”4″ autoPlay
   =”true” navigation=”true” navigationText=”<,>”]
