Hello,

Hoping someone can provide some help.

I am using Wordpress along with an ajax theme and I am also using an ajax search plugin.

In order to stop the page being reloaded and continue to use ajax when clicking a search result in the ajax search I have been provided with the following code:

JavaScript

    let dom_observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutation) {
    if ( typeof Pjax != 'undefined' ) {
        let newContent = document.querySelector(".asl_r");
        let pjax = new Pjax({
                   cacheBust: false,
                   elements: "a", // default is "a[href], form[action]"
                   selectors: ["title", "#header nav", "#aside", "#footer", "#content"] 
                });
        pjax.refresh(newContent);
        jQuery('.asl_r .item').off('click.body').one('click.body', function(){
            document.body.click();
        });
    }
});
let container = document.documentElement || document.body,
    config = { attributes: false, childList: true, subtree: true, characterData: false };
dom_observer.observe(container, config);

This works fine, but I have an issue where if you navigate to a page and then hit the back button in a browser the previous page will load but will start to infinitely reload, without this code I can navigate back fine.

Thanks

What I have tried:

I have tried removing cacheBust but this does not help, if someone with knowledge of js/ajax could provide any advice it would be much appreciated.

Try this...

    function preventBack() {
        window.history.forward();

Hi,

Thank you very much, I am trying to keep the back button function if possible though.
Disabling it would be a last resort.

This is not a "solution" to your question. I suggest you delete it if you want to avoid attracting down-votes.
