Support,

My site link is here

I would like the breadcrumbs to show up as follows -:

Home > Blog > Anxiety
… Instead of …
Home > Anxiety

Just aiding with the user UX when they need to drive back to the Blog section, instead of focusing away and clicking on the Blog menu option.

Ideas?

[Christopher]

Hi there,

Please add a new category and name it ‘Blog’, then assign ‘Blog’ as Anxiety’s parent category.

Hope it helps.

Support,

Seems to easy an answer!!!

So if I do this and someone clicks on the “Blog” category or tag this will drive people back to the Blog page – which is the intent of the question.

Support,

This is not quite what I am looking for … Doing this just drives people back to the “Blog” category page.

What I am looking for is to drive people back to the actual Blog page – how do I do that?

[Rupok]

Hi there,

Thanks for clarifying. I understand what you are trying to achieve. Regretfully, at this time our breadcrumbs don’t support the display of “Blog” as parent of single post in the fashion you’re looking for. This could be possible with custom development, You can follow this thread : https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/blog-page-dont-show-in-breadcrumbs/#post-346314

Cheers!

Thanks Rupok,

Any ideas how this might work for categories / tags?

I know that this might be beyond support scope – but the code does not work for categories / tags which is really what I am looking for.

Any hints within the code?

[Rupok]

Hi there,

Thanks for writing back. Usually we can’t assist on such customization as it’s beyond of our support scope. But you can modify the links within elseif ( is_category() ) {} and elseif ( is_tag() ) {}

Hope this helps.

[shamrockoz]

Rupok,

Done!!

Perhaps you can vet the code – but – this works way I want it to …

     <strong>$blog_link      = 'http://buildatestwpsite.com/blog/';
     $blog_home_url  = '<a href="' . $blog_link .'">' . 'Blog' . '</a>';</strong> 
      

      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>';
      }

      echo '<div class="x-breadcrumbs"><a href="' . $home_link . '">' . $home_text . '</a>' . $delimiter;

        if ( is_home() ) {

          echo $current_before . $blog_title . $current_after;

        } elseif ( is_category() ) {

          $the_cat = get_category( get_query_var( 'cat' ), false );
          if ( $the_cat->parent != 0 ) echo '<a href="'.get_permalink(102).'">'.get_the_title(102) .'</a>';
         

<blockquote> echo  $blog_home_url . $delimiter . $current_before . single_cat_title( '', false ) . $current_after;</blockquote>

[shamrockoz]

Perhaps this should read …

$blog_link = ‘http://buildatestwpsite.com/blog/’;
$blog_home_url = ‘‘ . ‘Blog’ . ‘‘;

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 = ‘‘ . $shop_title . ‘‘;
}

echo ‘<div class=”x-breadcrumbs”>‘ . $home_text . ‘‘ . $delimiter;

if ( is_home() ) {

echo $current_before . $blog_title . $current_after;

} elseif ( is_category() ) {

$the_cat = get_category( get_query_var( ‘cat’ ), false );
if ( $the_cat->parent != 0 ) echo ‘‘.get_the_title(102) .’‘;
echo $blog_home_url . $delimiter . $current_before . single_cat_title( ”, false ) . $current_after;

[shamrockoz]

Another try (sigh)

     $blog_link      = 'http://buildatestwpsite.com/blog/';
      $blog_home_url  = '<a href="' . $blog_link .'">' . 'Blog' . '</a>'; 
      

      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>';
      }

      echo '<div class="x-breadcrumbs"><a href="' . $home_link . '">' . $home_text . '</a>' . $delimiter;

        if ( is_home() ) {

          echo $current_before . $blog_title . $current_after;

        } elseif ( is_category() ) {

          $the_cat = get_category( get_query_var( 'cat' ), false );
          if ( $the_cat->parent != 0 ) echo '<a href="'.get_permalink(102).'">'.get_the_title(102) .'</a>';
          echo  $blog_home_url . $delimiter . $current_before . single_cat_title( '', false ) . $current_after;

Support,

My changes work fine – however – the breadcrumb appears distorted when you actually pick a post to view …

I’ll investigate but I just wanted to point this out.

For example -:

http://buildatestwpsite.com/youre-okay-but-im-not/

[Lely]

Hi There,

Thank you for updating us. Can you clarify what you meant by distorted? It is showing fine when I check. Regretfully, at this time I am not entirely certain what it is you would like to accomplish based on the information given in your post. If you wouldn’t mind providing us with a little more clarification on what it is you’re wanting to do (a link to a similar example site would be very helpful, or perhaps some screenshots), we’ll be happy to provide you with a response once we have a better understanding of the situation.

[shamrockoz]

Hi Lely,

Please check now – I made a change to correct it which is what you were seeing. I took out my fix.

Now you should see what I am talking about.

This centers around the singular posts where I think it is showing the category name and subcategory. In this case I have no sub-category and it is causing issues.

All I did was remove the sub category and it works – but you probably may find a better solution

Rue,

This works as expected – do you mind sharing what you changed?

Like to learn from the excellent support I receive!
