Back button redirect

Norman_drey · Mar 18, 2023

Is there any script or plugin I can redirect user to a specific page when they hit back button?
(WordPress)

EWRITERS · Mar 18, 2023

functions.php

function redirect_on_back() {
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) && $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == get_permalink()) {
wp_redirect('https://example.com/redirect-page');
exit;
}
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'redirect_on_back');

This code checks if the user has come back from the same page they are currently on (get_permalink()), and if so, redirects them to the specified page.

You asked for a script, @EWRITERS provides you with some code to work with, you dont understand code!

Then either learn code, pay someone to do it for you or accept you cannot add / edit code on your site.

JavaScript:

  var perfEntries = performance.getEntriesByType("navigation");

  if (perfEntries[0].type === "back_forward") {

    location.replace("https://www.google.com");

  }

Replace https://www.google.com with custom URL

I added it and it didn't work that's why I said so.

Header.php - in between <head> and </head>

There are WP Plugins that can do this too. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-headers-and-footers/

Not working, I think the script is incomplete

If you don't want to use functions.php, you can simply use this plugin:
