Back link instead of breadcrumbs

Hello @daspi,

There is no out-of-the-box function for that in WooCommerce and customizing the breadcrumbs adding a back button would require additional coding. These are some resources I’ve found for you that can help achieve your goal:

– https://theme.co/forum/t/adding-a-back-button-to-woocommerce-product-page/9192
– https://theme.co/archive/forums/topic/back-button-2/
– https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/customise-the-woocommerce-breadcrumb/

If you do require more help with the actual coding, we’d recommend hiring a developer or one of the customization experts listed at https://woocommerce.com/customizations/.

Cheers.

This is exactly what I tried and it does not work. Code had no effect.
This is the code. Any idea why this would not work with Astra and latest Woo?

// Add link to Product Category
// =============================================================================
function add_backbutton(){
global $post, $product;
  
  if ( x_is_product() ) {
        $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat' );
        $nterms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'product_tag'  );
        foreach ($terms  as $term  ) {
            $product_cat_id = $term->term_id;
            echo "<div class='cat-prod-link-back x-container max width'><a href='".get_term_link( $product_cat_id, 'product_cat' )."'>Link back to:".$term->name."</a></div>";
            break;
        }  }

}
add_action('x_after_view_integrity__breadcrumbs', 'add_backbutton');

Hey @daspi,

If you need to preserve the exact filters that were in use on the page before the product page, you may want to use some JavaScript. That way you can send the user back just as if they had clicked the back button in the browser.

Here’s a link to an MDN article about using History.back() that you may be able to adapt to work for you.

Hi there,

We haven’t heard from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved.
