Плагин использую в своем проекте. Для бесплатного плагина функционал хороший. Большое спасибо разработчикам! I use the plugin in my project. For a free plugin, the functionality is good. Many thanks to the developers!

I needed a simple way to allow my clients to go back (BACK TO RESULTS) using my IDX real estate pages. The Back Button worked perfect and was easy to use. The Developer also was very kind to provide me with some additional code to match the rest of my web site colors.

I had a slight issue that was mainly my own error, but the author responded very quickly and all was resolved on this wonderfully simple and very useful plugin.
