    Try this:

    add_filter( 'genesis_prev_link_text', 'prev_link_text' );
    function prev_link_text() {
        return __( 'Previous Page', 'genesis' );
    }
    
    add_filter( 'genesis_next_link_text', 'next_link_text' );
    function next_link_text() {
        return __( 'Next Page', 'genesis' );
    }

    I put it in style.php and function.php, but nothing has changed, I can't take off "<<" and ">>" from the links.

    Can you help me?

    The code goes in functions.php, not style.php. What theme are you using? There may be something custom in that theme that is preventing the code from working.

    Ambiance Pro has this code starting at line 203 in functions.php:

    //* Customize the previous/older post navigation links
    add_filter ( 'genesis_prev_link_text' , 'ambiance_prev_older_links_text' );
    function ambiance_prev_older_links_text ( $text ) {
    
        return '«';
    
    }
    
    //* Customize the next/newer post navigation links
    add_filter ( 'genesis_next_link_text' , 'ambiance_next_newer_links_text' );
    function ambiance_next_newer_links_text ( $text ) {
    
        return '»';
    
    }

    This is what is producing the arrows. Comment out both add_filter lines.
