I have spent HOURS trying to figure this out. Bless you. You have truly made my week with the LinkContainer bit.

In this section, I’m having an odd experience. It seems that once I add my LinkContainer to prevent refreshing, the browser will no longer update the container on link change. I have to manually refresh the page to get the message “Sorry, page not found!” Then, to return to the home page, I have to click the home button and manually refresh again. Any advice?

While I have you, I am also curious as to why we do not want to refresh the page each time. Is it because it would have to re-open a container and output everything again from AWS each time?

Okay, weird…but I am happy it happened. I would love an explanation as to what happened here. In a later section, I did not have a useHistory in react-router-dom: To solve this, I changed my react-router-dom version in package.json as 5.1.2, and ran npm install again. It solved both issues at once. Beautiful! But any explanation?
