Breadcrums not showing Categories names their Trees, just the post name

Hi,

I thought that I was doing something wrong with my Custom Post Type on my new website (still in Dev, so sorry it is not live yet), but I did a test on pure simp´le WP posts.

I created 3 nested categories:

1 post:

And the expected result is to get the breadcrumb showing all the 3 categories for that post, but:

What am I doing wrong?

thanks.

Hey,

The breadcrumbs are made to show:

Homepage > Blog page > Post Name

So they do not reflect the Post category. The categories and their parents are reflected in the breadcrumbs of the category page. If you open the LIXO3 Category you will see it there.

You can change this behaviour in the function “ishyoboy_get_breadcrumbs” located in the file. Not sure if you are using the same categories as the regular post for your CPT. If not you will have to add a special check for your custom taxonomy and post type:

boldial/assets/framework/wp/options/custom-functions.php

To enable this on the default WordPress post please find this code:

else{
	$category = get_the_category();
	if ( is_object( $category ) ){
		$ID = $category[0]->cat_ID;
		$return .= get_category_parents($ID, TRUE, ' > ', FALSE );
	}
}

else{

$category = get_the_category();

if ( is_object( $category ) ){

$ID = $category[0]->cat_ID;

$return .= get_category_parents($ID, TRUE, ' > ', FALSE );

}

and change the “is_object” to “is_array”:

else{
	$category = get_the_category();
	if ( is_array( $category ) ){
		$ID = $category[0]->cat_ID;
		$return .= get_category_parents($ID, TRUE, ' > ', FALSE );
	}
}

else{

$category = get_the_category();

if ( is_array( $category ) ){

$ID = $category[0]->cat_ID;

$return .= get_category_parents($ID, TRUE, ' > ', FALSE );

}

For other CPT this branch is used:

default :
	$type = get_post_type( get_the_ID() );

	$obj = get_post_type_object( $type );
	if ( is_object( $obj ) ){
		$return .= '<a href="' . get_post_type_archive_link( $type ) .'">' . $obj->labels->name . '</a> > ';
	}

default :

$type = get_post_type( get_the_ID() );

$obj = get_post_type_object( $type );

if ( is_object( $obj ) ){

$return .= ' . get_post_type_archive_link( $type ) .'">' . $obj->labels->name . ' > ';

}

So you can get inspiration from the code for the regular post or portfolio-post and display the categories as well ;)

Cheers

Worked marvelously!

I’m also used the functions.php under the Boldial-child so I will not get screwed upon a theme update…

Thanks!

;)
