# Breaking: #73763 - Removed backPath from PageRenderer {#breaking-73763}

See [forge#73763](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/73763)

## Description {#description}

The PageRenderer class responsible for rendering Frontend output and Backend modules has no option to resolve
the so-called backPath anymore. The second parameter has been dropped from the constructor method. Additionally
the public property `backPath` as well as the method `PageRenderer->setBackPath()` have been removed.

## Impact {#impact}

Calling the constructor of PageRenderer with a second parameter, or setting PageRenderer->backPath has no
effect anymore. Calling `PageRenderer->setBackPath()` directly will result in a PHP error.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Custom installations using the PageRenderer API directly in an extension.

## Migration {#migration}

Simply remove the call to `PageRenderer->setBackPath()` in your own scripts.
