How to Create a Go Back Button for Your Elementor Website or Webshop

As a website or webshop owner, you want to provide your customers with a seamless user experience. Creating a go back button on your website can help your customers easily navigate back to the previous page they were on. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to create a go back button on your Elementor website or webshop.

Why Create a Go Back Button?

A go back button is a simple yet effective feature that can greatly improve the user experience on your website. It allows users to easily navigate back to the previous page they were on without having to click on the back button of their browser, which can be tedious, especially if they need to go back multiple pages.

A go back button is particularly useful on websites and webshops that have a lot of pages or products, as it allows users to quickly switch between pages or products and then return to where they were before.

Creating a Go Back Button on Your Elementor Website or Webshop

Creating a go back button on your Elementor website or webshop is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps. We'll show you how to do it in this tutorial.

1. Remove any existing button: If you already have a button on your website or webshop, remove it before creating the new go back button.

2. Add a normal button widget: In the Elementor control panel, press the widget icon and search for the normal button element. Place the button in the desired location.

3. Customize the button design: Before adding the JavaScript code for the go back button, make sure that the button design fits with the rest of your website or webshop.

4. Navigate to the Advanced section: In the Elementor control panel, navigate to the Advanced section or click on the button ID.

5. Give the button a name: Under the ID section, give the button a name that is easily memorable. For example, "go-back" or "return".

6. Add the HTML code: Under the same section, add the following HTML code:

<ahref="#"id="go-back">Go Back</a>

Note that you can change the wording of the button to whatever you like.

7. Add the JavaScript code: Finally, you need to add the JavaScript code that will enable the button to work. You can find the code in the description of this tutorial. Make sure that the ID used in the code matches the name you gave to the button earlier.

Alternatively, you can download a plugin that allows you to add JavaScript code to your website's header or footer. This is useful if you have a lot of JavaScript code to add or if you prefer to keep all the code in one place.

Testing the Go Back Button

Once you have added the HTML and JavaScript code, save the changes and test the go back button to make sure it works properly. You should be redirected back to the previous page you were on when you click on the button.
