I made two categories on my website:
– Blog
– Workshops
In main menu I use direct links to categories:
mywebsite.com/category/blog
mywebsite.com/category/workshops
In such case breadcrambs of the X theme work wrong on the post pages. All posts from any category show wrong link:
Home->Blog->Post name
where ‘Blog’ – link to mywebsite.com/blog page that is not using on website at all.
How can I make breadcrambs work correctly? I want to see different and correct links to categories of the posts:
Home->CategoryName->Post name
where CategoryName is right category link of the post which is shown to user.

Thank you for writing in!

This is a default behaviour of how the breadcrumbs works. However to show category instead of “Blog”, use following code in your child theme’s functions.php file:

// Breadcrumbs Display Category instead Of "Blog"
// =============================================================================

function x_breadcrumbs() {

    if ( x_get_option( 'x_breadcrumb_display', '1' ) ) {

      GLOBAL $post;

      $is_ltr         = ! is_rtl();
      $stack          = x_get_stack();
      $delimiter      = x_get_breadcrumb_delimiter();
      $home_text      = x_get_breadcrumb_home_text();
      $home_link      = home_url();
      $current_before = x_get_breadcrumb_current_before();
      $current_after  = x_get_breadcrumb_current_after();
      $page_title     = get_the_title();
      $blog_title     = get_the_title( get_option( 'page_for_posts', true ) );
      $post_parent    = $post->post_parent;

      if ( X_WOOCOMMERCE_IS_ACTIVE ) {
        $shop_url   = x_get_shop_link();
        $shop_title = x_get_option( 'x_' . $stack . '_shop_title', __( 'The Shop', '__x__' ) );
        $shop_link  = '<a href="'. $shop_url .'">' . $shop_title . '</a>';
      }

Code works well, but there are 2 notes.
1. Both categories have subcategories.
Blog
– Articles
– Tutorials
Workshops
– 2015
– 2014
In case of ‘blog’ category code works great. Breadcrumbs display parent category and that is exactly what I need.
But in case of ‘workshops’ category code display ‘2015’ subcategory link in breadcrambs instead of parent ‘Workshops’ category. But if I change the name of subcategory to any name started with letters (not digits) – for example ‘Year 2015’ – the code begin to display ‘Workshops’ category link in breadcrambs.

2. Actually, I’ve made special page with recent post from ‘Workshops’ category and some additional information (shortcodes of X theme – are magical!) and I want to have link to that page in breadcrambs instead of standard ‘mysite.com/category/workshops’ link. How can I change the code for such purpose if I need this behavior for all post from ‘Workshops’ category (id=102, slug=’workshops’) and its all subcategories? Link to my ‘special’ page is ‘mysite.com/workshops’.

I’m not sure what exactly is going on with #1. Could you send us the link to your site so we could take a closer look at the behavior?

For #2, replace the code you put in your functions.php file with this code

You can use following updated code instead and it will show the parent category of the sub category:

Further customizations from here would be getting into custom development, which is outside the scope of support we can offer. If you need more in depth changes, you may wish to consult with a developer, or look into service like Elto or WerkPress. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.

Thanks for understanding.
