Custom function to allow me to paginate using Bulma markup.

template-tags.php

function independence_bulma_pagination($pages = '', $range = 2)
{
     $showitems = ($range * 2)+1;

     global $paged;
     if(empty($paged)) $paged = 1;

         $pages = $wp_query->max_num_pages;
         if(!$pages)
         {
             $pages = 1;
         }
     }

     if(1 != $pages)
     {
         echo "<nav class='pagination is-centered'>";
         if($paged > 1 && $showitems < $pages) echo "<a class='pagination-previous' href='".get_pagenum_link($paged - 1)."'>Previous</a>";

         }
