    Hi,
    I would like to create a back button on my site which I have found some widgets capable, however, I am using SiteOrigin buttons and would like to continue using the same format.
    Can anyone help with code I can place within the button to go back a page?

    What exact problem are you trying to solve?
    Would breadcrumb navigation work?

    Can't the user simply use the brower's Back button?
    Or you could create a button with a href for javascript(back(-1)) or whatever the basic code is.

    Yep: 
    <button onclick="window.history.back()">Back</button>
    or 
    <button onclick="window.history.go(-1)">Back</button>
    (You can change the parameter value.)

    This is the more important issue.

    Is there a problem with your site navigation? Maybe you need to work on the navigation links.
