Hi,
I had a
parent category -> Story Book
child category -> Tom and Jerry

In my breadcrumb, it just show up Home -> Tom and Jerry
But the parent category “Story Book” is not shown.

I try to add in below code to my child theme function.php:

function x_breadcrumbs() {
	
	global $post;
	
    echo '<ul id="breadcrumbs">';
    if (!is_home()) {
        echo '<li><a href="';
        echo get_option('home');
        echo '">';
        echo '<i class="x-icon-home" data-x-icon=""></i>';
        echo '</a></li><li class="separator"><i class="x-icon-angle-right" data-x-icon=""></i></li>';
		
        if (is_category() || is_single()) {
            echo '<li>';
            the_category(' </li><li class="separator"><i class="x-icon-angle-right" data-x-icon=""></i></li><li> ');
            if (is_single()) {
                echo '</li><li class="separator"><i class="x-icon-angle-right" data-x-icon=""></i></li><li>';
                the_title();
                echo '</li>';
            }
			
        } elseif (is_page()) {
            if($post->post_parent){
				$anc = get_post_ancestors( $post->ID );
				$title = get_the_title();
				foreach ( $anc as $ancestor ) {
					$output = '<li><a href="'.get_permalink($ancestor).'" title="'.get_the_title($ancestor).'">'.get_the_title($ancestor).'</a></li> <li class="separator">/</li>';
				}
				echo $output;
				echo '<strong title="'.$title.'"> '.$title.'</strong>';
			} else {
				echo '<li><strong> '.get_the_title().'</strong></li>';
			}
        }
    }
    elseif (is_tag()) {single_tag_title();}
    elseif (is_day()) {echo"<li>Archive for "; the_time('F jS, Y'); echo'</li>';}
    elseif (is_month()) {echo"<li>Archive for "; the_time('F, Y'); echo'</li>';}
    elseif (is_year()) {echo"<li>Archive for "; the_time('Y'); echo'</li>';}
    elseif (is_author()) {echo"<li>Author Archive"; echo'</li>';}
    elseif (isset($_GET['paged']) && !empty($_GET['paged'])) {echo "<li>Blog Archives"; echo'</li>';}
    elseif (is_search()) {echo"<li>Search Results"; echo'</li>';}
    echo '</ul>';
}
?>

Is there any code i need to modified in order to show up the parent category?
Thanks

Hi there,

Replace this code,

echo '<li>';
            the_category(' </li><li class="separator"><i class="x-icon-angle-right" data-x-icon=""></i></li><li> ');
            if (is_single()) {
                echo '</li><li class="separator"><i class="x-icon-angle-right" data-x-icon=""></i></li><li>';
                the_title();
                echo '</li>';
            }
		

with this,

$category = get_the_category(); 

$category_parent_id = $category[0]->category_parent;
if ( $category_parent_id != 0 ) {
    $category_parent = get_term( $category_parent_id, 'category' );
    echo '<li>'.$category_parent->name.'<li class="separator"><i class="x-icon-angle-right" data-x-icon=""></i></li><li>'.$category[0]->name.'</li>';
} else {
    echo '<li>'.$category[0]->name.'</li>';
}          

            if (is_single()) {
                echo '<li class="separator"><i class="x-icon-angle-right" data-x-icon=""></i></li><li>';
                the_title();
                echo '</li>';
            }

Hope this helps.

With your code, there are a lot of things missing. Please try this code instead:

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I had try out your code, but it doesn’t work.

The code that you gave, caused my breadcrumbs category become
Home > Post Name –> whereby my Category is missing

But with my previous code that i show you, it did gave me the parent category, category and post name
Home > Parent Category -> Category -> Post Name
BUT the issue is Parent Category and Category did not have the permalink!

So i just need to know any code that have been missing up

Thanks
