Make Breadcrumbs showing custom blog pages instead of categories

[Woordenaar]

Hi X theme

I use 5 main blog categories in my main menu, for different types of topics:

• News
• Advice
• Columns
• Memes
• Videos

I always only use only 1 category per post.

These blog categories each have their own custom “main” page. On this page I use The Grid to show all posts from that category.

When people are reading a post, I would like my breadcrumbs to look like this:

Home > Custom Blog Page > Post title

Instead, at the moment my breadcrumbs look like this:

Home > Blog Name > Category > Post title

(I achieved this with the help of other forum topics and finding custom code for Child Theme functions.php).

Could you help me, to make the breadcrumbs look like:

Home > Custom Blog Page > Post title

Maybe you could also provide the code and filters to achieve this via Child Theme functions.php?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Woordenaar,

Thanks for reaching out.
It seems that you have set the permalink with the %category% and that is why it is showing in the URL and breadcrumb. I would suggest you remove the %category% from permalink and check if that resolved your issue. If that does not help, there might be some different reasons behind your reason. I would like to suggest troubleshooting the following common issue to help us to recognize the reason.

1.Theme Related Issue
2.Plugin Conflict
3.Theme Update related issue
4.Child Theme Related issue
5.CSS/JS Customization

If you discover that an issue is coming from a custom code or 3rd party plugin, kindly consult with a developer or contact the plugin author. Please note that we do not provide support for custom codes and 3rd party plugins.

Hi Tristup

It is not an issue, but normal Wordpress behavior I guess.

Normally when setting category for permalinks, permalink redirects to category and to blog.

Normally in wordpress there is only 1 main blog page set, so only 1 blog to link to.

But in my case, I have 4 different categories = 4 different main blog pages, that I made using The Grid showing one of these categories on each of these custom blog pages.

Therefore I want the permalink to link to these custom blog pages, instead of the category page. Because when linking to standard category page, the posts are displayed very basic and not the same way as I set up with The Grid on these custom pages.

Therefore I would like to have my permalinks setup this way. So it will have each of these custom blog pages in its structure. For example:

home > link to custom blog page for category 1 > post title
home > link to custom blog page for category 2 > post tilte

I’ve seen that your staff has already helped many people with custom code to place in functions.php, because your theme seems to works with filters, and so you can adjust the permalink this way.

For example:

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

Hi there, The new breadcrumb structure uses filters, I may able to help if you can provide information of what you wish to achieve. I tried the breadcrumbs on my end and it’s correctly displaying the category and post breadcrumbs trail. Is it just changing the main parent of your single post? Maybe you can add this code to your child theme’s functions.php add_filter('x_breadcrumbs_data', 'post_parent_trail', 9999999, 2); function post_parent_trail ($crumbs, $args) { if ( is_singular('post'…

Renew Theme > Breadcrumb issue

Hey @kirk74, Did you remove the code from your child theme’s functions.php file? File editing is not allowed. We cannot check the code in your dashboard 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 )…

Breadcrumbs with custom blog page

Hi, Is it possible to have a custom blog page show in the breadcrumbs ? My situation is that I have not defined a blog page within the WordPress settings, as I am using The Grid to define this with a shortcode on a custom page. Based on this, I now have Home > Blog > Category > Post. What I am looking to do is to replace any instances of “blog” with “Articles”, so Home > Articles > Category > Post etc… I am already using the below function, so I guess it needs some small modification add_fil…

Could you help me with this?

Thanks in advance!

Update: I’ve found a solution… Maybe this could also be helpful for others that have made custom blog pages and that want the breadcrumb to link to custom page instead of category:

Hiding blog name from permalinks:

Hiding blog's name from breadcrumbs

Hi there, I have asked earlier about hot to remove blog’s name from the breadcrumbs and I received this css: .single .x-crumbs-list .x-crumbs-list-item:last-child, .single .x-crumbs-list .x-crumbs-list-item:nth-last-child(2) > span.x-crumbs-delimiter { display: none; } Unfortunatelly, it doesnt remove the blog’s name, but the post’s title from the breadcrumbs. (post’s title is the last element). How to remove the blog’s title? thank you. beata
