The Pro version of Back Button Anywhere Widget for WordPress adds three things the free version does not have: back buttons inside your navigation menus, a floating button that follows the visitor as they scroll, and conditional rules that hide or show the button on specific pages. Everything Pro adds is configured under WPFactory > Back Button.
What Pro adds #
Menu integration #
Add the back button to any registered menu location or to a specific menu you built, from the Menu Options section. Select one or more targets, and the button is appended as the last item. You can set the button markup and the wrapping item template, and there is a second method using a [ALG_BACK_BUTTON] Custom Link token. See How to add the Back Button to a WordPress menu.
Floating button #
Turn on a persistent button that stays fixed on screen from the Floating Button Options section. Choose one of four corners (bottom right, bottom left, top right, top left) and set the horizontal and vertical margins. You can also point it at a custom shortcode for advanced styling. See How to add a floating back button.
Hide and show rules #
Pro activates the conditional options on the widget and shortcode: Hide on front page, Hide on URL param, and their show-only counterparts. Use them to keep the button off your homepage, or to show it only when a specific query parameter is present. See How to hide or show the back button by page or URL.
What is already free #
To avoid confusion, these are Free and do not need Pro: the Back Button widget with all its style, class, type, and label controls, the [alg_back_button] and [alg_back_button_translate] shortcodes, the alg_back_button() PHP function, and Font Awesome icon support (the fa attribute and the Load/URL settings). If you only need a styled back button on a page or in a sidebar, the free version covers it.
Requirements #
- WordPress (no WooCommerce or page builder required).
- Back Button Anywhere Widget for WordPress Pro, activated in place of the free version.
