Add breadcrumb to archives

Support
#1

Hi,
Previously someone gave me this code, pasted below, to add a breadcrumb to my posts that brought you back to the blog. I want to also add the same breadcrumb to my category archives page. Like this one:http://2e6.274.myftpupload.com/category/fat-cat-news/ so that people can just go back to the blog. How would I edit or this code for this? TIA! Rena

add_action( 'x_before_view_integrity_content', 'print_breadcrumb_for_posts' );
function print_breadcrumb_for_posts(){
	if(is_singular( 'post' )){
		?>
		<div class="custom-breadcrumb">
			<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( get_option('page_for_posts') ); ?>">Return to Blog</a>
		</div>
		<?php
	}
}

Hi Rena,

Thanks for reaching out.

It should be just the same code, but change this line

if(is_singular( 'post' )){

to this

if(is_singular( 'post' ) || is_category() ){

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

Hm… I added this, below the code that is set for the “return to blog” on the posts. but my site goes blank when I have it in. Do I have it right?

// Add Return to Blog to Categories
// =============================================================================

add_action( 'x_before_view_integrity_content', 'print_breadcrumb_for_posts' );
function print_breadcrumb_for_posts(){
	if(is_singular( 'post' ) || is_category() ){
		?>
		<div class="custom-breadcrumb">
			<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( get_option('page_for_posts') ); ?>">&#60; Return to Blog</a>
		</div>
		<?php
	}
}

Hi Rena,

Would you mind providing the entire content of your child theme’s functions.php while that code is added?

I just tried that code and it works perfectly on my end

Thanks!

I just tried it again to be sure, but still just a white screen… here it is…

Im not sure how I send code over :confused:

Hi Rena,

Ah, you have added it again causing multiple existence of the function, as a recommendation, you should only change this line of that existing code

if(is_singular( 'post' )){

to this

if(is_singular( 'post' ) || is_category() ){

Don’t add the same code, just edit the existing once :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Ahhh Ok! Thank you

You’re most welcome!

Ok so this is weird… I did it exactly as you said and now its showing up, but it shows up about 5 times. http://2e6.274.myftpupload.com/category/real-weddings/

I made the font huge so you can see it easily. I checked the posts one and that still appears perfectly.

Hi Rena,

Ah, because it’s added for every integrity content. In that case, please change your entire code to this

add_action( 'x_before_view_global__index', 'print_breadcrumb_for_category' );
add_action( 'x_before_view_integrity_content', 'print_breadcrumb_for_post' );

function print_breadcrumb_for_category () {
if ( is_category() ) custom_breadcrumbs();
}
function print_breadcrumb_for_post () {
if ( is_singular( 'post' ) )  custom_breadcrumbs();
}
function custom_breadcrumbs() { ?>
		<div class="custom-breadcrumb">
			<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( get_option('page_for_posts') ); ?>">&#60; Return to Blog</a>
		</div>
		<?php
}

Different action while re-using the same breadcrumb. I also tested it and it works okay.

Thanks!

one last thing, promise… how can i add the search results page to that too?

#12

Hi There,

Please find this code:

And change to this:

function print_breadcrumb_for_category () {
if ( is_category() || is_search() ) custom_breadcrumbs();
}

Let us know how it goes!
