Navigation Layered - Back Button takes user back to Top layer/level and not submenu layer/level

[b_lynk]

Navigation Layered Element
When clicking on a submenu item (Third Level Menu Item 3) from a Navigation Layered element it correctly takes me to the assigned page. Now when I click on the back button in the browser it takes me back, but the navigation returns to the top level. I’d ideally like to return to the level where the submenu item (Third Level Menu Items) was found. For example if the submenu item is a 3rd level deep I’d like to return there.

Testing on a few different computers with varying OS Windows/MAC. This appears to work on some Firefox browsers where when clicking on the back button it takes the user back to the submenu item which is a few levels deep (What I want) however not all Firefox browsers and not in Chrome.

Has anyone else encountered this or inquired about this already?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Not certain how to fix this…

Thanks!!

Hi @b-lynk,

Thanks for reaching out.

Unfortunately, that would require a custom development as the theme has no capability to track back action. The back action is simply a browser feature, it would only go back to the previous URL but it has no record of what has been click before it redirects to the new URL. Hence, no way to track it back. I’m not saying it’s completely impossible but would require custom development that will let you modify the browser’s history and records every action through URL’s hashtag, so when the user hit back, it can re-open the menu based on the recorded hashtag. For that, I recommend contacting a developer for effective implementation.

Thanks!
