UIPageViewController NavigationItem issues due to viewControllerBeforeViewController - ios

Question

So I have a view pager that is suppose to allow users to slide through photos the way a user would expect to slide through a album of photos , but the issue comes in when a user slides around and trys to press the "share" button in the navigation bar. It works fine if a user just opens a photo from the album and never trys to slide right or left , but if they do try to slide in either direction and then try to save the photo they have slid to it returns the photo after the photo the user is currently viewing. Ive eliminated this down to something having to do with viewControllerBeforeViewController and viewControllerAfterViewController being called AFTER the current viewcontroller s callehere is my class:
#import "APPChildViewController.h"
#import "CommentsViewController.h"
#import "ViewPhotosPagerVC.h"
#interface ViewPhotosPagerVC ()
#end
#implementation ViewPhotosPagerVC
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:YES];
self.pageController = [[UIPageViewController alloc] initWithTransitionStyle:UIPageViewControllerTransitionStyleScroll navigationOrientation:UIPageViewControllerNavigationOrientationHorizontal options:nil];
self.pageController.dataSource = self;
[[self.pageController view] setFrame:CGRectMake(self.view.frame.origin.x,self.view.frame.origin.y, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
CommentsViewController *initialViewController = [self viewControllerAtIndex:0];
NSDictionary *dict =[_photoArray objectAtIndex:_startingIndex];
NSLog(#"DICT:%#",dict);
NSString *msg_id=[dict objectForKey:#"msg_id"];
NSLog(#"MSG_ID:%#",msg_id);
initialViewController.msg_id=msg_id;
initialViewController.navItem=self.navigationItem;
initialViewController.delegate=self;
initialViewController.theIndex=_startingIndex;
