Can't page back after reviewing a result page.

The Toolset Community Forum is closed, for technical support questions, please head on to our Toolset Professional Support (for paid clients), with any pre-sale or admin question please contact us here.

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you try to navigate back with the Browser "Back" button, after submitting a Search and receiving the results with a View, and then visting a single Results Post, the previously displayed results will not load anymore.

This happens only after a certain amount of URL parameters in the Search has been reached (as example, it works with one URL parameter but not with 5)

Solution:
It is a Server Restriction on URL length
Either the Server Settings are restricting URL lenght, or a security plugin that you can limit Long URL Strings is affecting this.

Either contact your Server Admins or disable those Plugins.
This is nothing that can be solved on the Toolset end.

I am trying to: Page back after reviewing a search result.

I visited this URL:hidden link

Problem: If you choose five or more parameters and hit submit you will get the results page. If you view/click on one of the results and try to hit the browser back button the previous result page will not load. If you have four or fewer search parameters it works fine. I have tried viewing in a different browser but does the same thing.

Instead, I got: Nothing happens just a white page. looks like it cant negotiate the long string to load page.

I will need to send login info privately.

This works fine on my tests.
It must be a Server Restriction on URL length

Can you enable WP Debug and see what happens when you navigate back?
Since you see a white page probably there is an Error Displayed.

When you mentioned "Server Restriction on URL length" I then recalled I have a security plugin that you can limit Long URL Strings. I have since unchecked that feature and all works good now. Thanks for your help.
