Replace your typical next and previous pagination ie:

<?php if ($wp_query->max_num_pages > 1) : ?>
  <nav class="post-nav">
    <ul class="pager">
      <li class="previous"><?php next_posts_link(__('← Older posts', 'roots')); ?></li>
      <li class="next"><?php previous_posts_link(__('Newer posts →', 'roots')); ?></li>
    </ul>
  </nav>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ($wp_query->max_num_pages > 1) : ?>

</ul>

</nav>

<?php endif; ?>

with the example as follows to create better pagination. PHP

<?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
) );
?>

<?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

) );
