Breadcrumbs not showing category on posts

[ramyasriram1]

Hi there,

I’d like to get the breadcrumbs to show the category path on single posts.
On the subcategory pages, I’ve got Blog>Category>Subcategory which is perfect. Example here: https://thetapstories.com/category/comics/life-is-beautiful/

However I’m unable to achieve this on single posts, where it just shows Blog>Post title. Example here: https://thetapstories.com/its-going-to-be-okay/

Can you help, please?

Many thanks,
Ramya

This dont work at my theme in the functions.php: add_filter('x_breadcrumbs_data', 'post_parent_trail', 9999999, 2); function post_parent_trail ($crumbs, $args) { if ( is_singular('post') ) { $category = get_the_category( get_the_ID() ); if ( count( $category ) > 0 ) { $crumbs[1]['label'] = $category[0]->name; $crumbs[1]['url'] = get_category_link( $category[0]->term_id ); unset($crumbs[2]); //to make sure category won't duplicate } } return $crumbs; }

Pro-Child: Breadcrumbs with category -> Where is breadcrumbs.php?

Hi there, Ah, then what you need is something like this add_filter('x_breadcrumbs_data', 'post_parent_trail', 9999999, 2); function post_parent_trail ($crumbs, $args) { if ( is_singular('post') ) { $category = get_the_category( get_the_ID() ); if ( count( $category ) > 0 ) { $crumbs[1]['label'] = $category[0]->name; $crumbs[1]['url'] = get_category_link( $category[0]->term_id ); unset($crumbs[2]); //to make sure category won't duplicate } } return $crumbs; …

Hope it helps.
Thanks
