Dear support,

I am using the “last page” or “go back button”, the one below the Cart in the header. See screenshot.

The problem i have is that when a visitor is using google and lands on one of my pages, homepage or product page. And they click on the go back button they get send back too google. Which is causing visitors leaving the website.

Is there a way that when they land on the website through google the button is hidden and then only shows up after they visit another page on the website?

Or that they just get send to the homepage, only if its the first page they land on through google.

I hope you understand my question,

And maybe you have a better solution.

Kind Regards,

Johan

Hello,

Please try to add this function into the function.php file of the Child Theme.
https://www.8theme.com/demo/docs/royal/index.html#!/2_child_theme

function et_back_to_page() { if( class_exists('WooCommerce') && ( is_shop() && get_option( 'show_on_front' ) == 'page' && get_option( 'page_on_front' ) == get_option( 'woocommerce_shop_page_id' ) ) ){ echo '<a class="back-history" href="#">'.__('Return to Previous Page', ETHEME_DOMAIN).'</a>'; } else { echo '<a class="back-history" href="javascript: history.go(-1)">'.__('Return to Previous Page', ETHEME_DOMAIN).'</a>'; } }

I have tested the code and when you land on the homepage it doesn’t send you back anymore. But when you land on a product page it still sends you back to google.

Another Q: When a product is sold out, the add to cart button on shop page gets replaced with the text “Read more”. How can i change the text?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Do you mean two products per row?
Add this code in Custom CSS for mobile

.product { width: 50% !important; }

I have tested the code and when you land on the homepage it doesn’t send you back anymore. But when you land on a product page it still sends you back to google.

This requires additional customization which is not for free.
If you agree to proceed please contact us via form https://www.8theme.com/customization-services/ for further information.

You can change it for simple product in the \wp-content\plugins\woocommerce\includes\class-wc-product-simple.php file on line 48 and variable in the \wp-content\plugins\woocommerce\includes\class-wc-product-variable.php file on line 43

Thanks
