### 󠀁[Excellent solution for PWA !!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-solution-for-pwa/)󠁿

 [ikihinojosa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ikihinojosa/) July 12, 2021

Same as your Bread Crumb based on URL plugin… this one is amazing… I was having 
hard time to go back to previous pages on the buddy press and bbpress plugins, but
this solve the problems in a very nice and easy way… the main problem was by using
the PWA app, which they dont allow to show the brouser back and forth buttons so
Thanks a lot!!!!
