 * i all im building an online shop and just had a quick question, when you click
   on a product and it takes you to that product there is a tab on the right there
   is a “back to” button but instead of taking me back to the previous page, it 
   takes me to my “products” page of that certain category.
 * the pages i have set up have custom sidebars, but once you press the “back to”
   button the category page is setup with default settings and not my sidebars.
 * how do i make this button redirect back to the previous page?
 * im using virtue them
 * thanks

 * Hi,
    Sorry, the “back to” button is set up to link to the category page. There’s
   isn’t a built-in option to change this. If you’d like you an hide it with css.
   If it helps you can add your custom sidebar to the archive/category pages in 
   Theme Options > Shop Settings.

 * You can hide the button with this:
 *     ```
       .cat_back_btn {
         display: none;
       }
       ```

 * There isn’t a sidebar option for the individual product pages in the free theme.
   The premium version has an option for this. You can add a button shortcode into
   the product description. Does that work?

 * i get what you mean hannah, but could be alot of work to do each product like
   this. i think i will just leave it hidden and people can use back key for now.
 * thanks
