Inline breadcrumbs with categories

Support
#1

Hi,

I’ve activated the breadcrumb in my webpage, but I would like it to have a simple format:

Redactor web > blog > [category] > [post title]

Could I change the home pictogram for the name of the page?

If in the future I want to create subcategories, I would like to show it too.

I tried different options that I found in the support forum for display it inline and with categories, but it didn’t work.

Thanks,

Jordi.

Hi Jordi,

Thanks for writing in! Regretfully, this particular customization request is outside the scope of our support. It could be possible with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.

Plus we are in the stage of reinventing the objects in the landmark header section including the breadcrumbs to be an element so the user can place it anywhere in the header.

Thanks for understanding.

I would also like to be able to show the category in the breadcrumbs. Seems kinda dumb and bad for SEO to not have it listed.

Could you just add something like:
$categories = get_the_category();
if ( ! empty( $categories ) ) {
echo ‘’ . esc_html( $categories[0]->name ) . ‘’;
}
to the breadcrumbs.php file?

Hello There,

Thanks for updating in! The category in the breadcrumb feature is already in our enhancements lists which our developers is working on. This breadcrumb will also be used as one of the V2 elements for custom headers in Pro. Once our developers finished working on this feature, it might be rolled out in our next update release.

Thank you for your understanding.

I tried adding breadcrumbs.php to my child theme but it wasn’t getting processed. Am I missing something? I also want to add the post category to the breadcrumb.

Hi There,

If you are using PRO, as stated it is not part of the header yet, so even if you copy it on the child theme nothing will happened. In case you are using X theme, make sure that breadcrumb is enable. Also please clarify what you meant by not getting processed. What changes have you done, which page do you expect it to work and what stack are you using. This will give us insight on the specific issue.

It looks like you guys have provided a solution to add the category to breadcrumb at: https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/breadcrumbs-for-custom-post-type/487/13

Hey There,

The solution on this thread may only be applicable to the default navbar. This will not work if you are using Pro with custom header.

Hope this helps.
