 * Hi there
    First, I apologize if my English is not good. I hope you get my noticed.
   I want use the back button in posts and pages on my site. I know that to do that
   I must use this code :
 *     ```
       <a href="window.history.back();">go back</a>
       ```
   
 * But my problem is with this code :
 * If I go from X page to Y page, then i go from Y page to Z page , and then I use
   the back button on the Z page , take me to the Y page .
    And then if I use the
   back button on Y page, take me to the Z page . While I want when I use the back
   button on Y page, take me to the X page .
 * I do What should I do?
    Grateful

 * The process is outlined [in detail here with great examples](https://codex.wordpress.org/Next_and_Previous_Links)
 * There is no way around modifying your files. Backup your site before attempting
   any changes.
