Pagination Issue When Clicked on Previous Page

Topic summary

  • Issue: Pagination within a Shopify collection (8 pages) behaves incorrectly with the browser’s Back button. Although individual collection pages appear in browser history, pressing Back returns to the home page (the first page visited) instead of the previous collection page.

  • Context needed: A responder states that debugging requires the theme name, store URL, and specific page URLs. They emphasize providing publicly accessible links and testing them in an incognito window so others can reproduce the issue.

  • Technical notes: Pagination is page-by-page navigation through a list (e.g., collection products). The browser Back button should move to the last visited page in history; incorrect behavior suggests the need to verify actual URLs and accessibility.

  • Action items: Share theme name, store URL, direct collection page links, and exact reproduction steps. Ensure links work publicly (incognito). Optionally, contact the responder via email for paid troubleshooting.

  • Status: Unresolved and pending more information. No code snippets, attachments, or specific theme details were provided yet.

Hello dear all,

I have a pagination issue in my website that when I click on a collection and browse through its pages (it has 8 pages) I can see them in my browser history but when I hit the previous page button it does not take me to the previous page of the collection, instead it takes me to home page which was the first page when I entered the website. Can you help me on how to fix this issue?

Thank you,

Theme name, store url ,etc are a requirement.

Keep always in mind others do not see what you see or know what you know.
Always provide relevant context so other people can understand, inspect or reproduce issues.
Make sure any links are publicly accessible by testing in an incognito window to see how another person would encounter it.

If you need this debugged and fixed for you then contact me by mail for services.
ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail in ALL correspondence.
