back button to previous page

Hey lelouxwebdesign,
In your sidebar add a Custom HTML widget with this code:
<a href="javascript:history.back()">Go Back</a>

then in the post sidebar you will see a “Go Back” link

you can style it as you wish and clicking it will send the visitor to the last page they viewed.
If you want to use a button, you can create a buton with the shortcode wand and use this as the manual link: javascript:history.back()

Hi,
Sorry I was thinking about the sidebar and not the sidebar header. For the sidebar header menu items, Try adding this code to the end of your child theme functions.php file in Appearance ▸ Editor:

add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items', 'do_shortcode');
function go_back_shortcode() {
    return '<a href="javascript:history.back()" class="go-back-link">Go Back</a>
            <script>
            document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
                var goBackLink = document.querySelector(".go-back-link");
                if (goBackLink) {
                    goBackLink.parentElement.classList.add("go-back-parent");
                }
            });
            </script>';
}
add_shortcode('go_back', 'go_back_shortcode');
function custom_go_back_css() {
    echo '
    <style>
    .go-back-parent a:not(.go-back-link) {
        padding: 0 !important;
        margin: 0 !important;
    }
    </style>
    ';
}
add_action('wp_head', 'custom_go_back_css');

Then in the menu item use a hash tag “#” as the URL and add this shortcode [go_back] to the title:

Then on the frontend you will have a working “Go Back” menu link:

Hi,
In the code above change the text “Go Back” to “Ga terug”

And the font color etc can be changed with the class go-back-link
like this:

.go-back-link {
/* your css here */
}

Best regards,
Mike
