Exclude category from breadcrumbs?

There are filters available for that. Have a look at this thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-do-i-remove-cpt-from-breadcrumb-trail

Thanks jrf, looks to be what I need!

I’m not really sure how to solve the following scenario though:

If I base my filter on the example in the thread you linked, I’m guessing that it will remove the category I specify, but I would also like it to choose the other category from the post.

Any suggestion how I can apply this in a filter?

Thanks!

In your case I’d use the other filter and code along the lines of:

add_filter( 'wpseo_breadcrumb_links', 'my_breadcrumb_filter_function' );

function my_breadcrumb_filter_function( $crumbs ) {
	/* Do something, for instance:
	   - test the crumb for the featured category & replace it with another, i.e.:
	foreach( $crumbs as $i => $crumb ) {
		// Test for the unwanted crumb - replace ## with your term id
		if( isset( $crumb['term'] ) && $crumb['term'] == ## && isset( $GLOBALS['post'] ) {
			// Add some arguments to get your term
			$terms = wp_get_object_terms( $GLOBALS['post']->ID, 'category', $args );
			if( ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ) {
				// -> Do something to get your preferred term from the $terms array
				$myterm = ....;
				$crumbs[$i] = array(
					'term' => $mytermid,
				);
			}
		}
	}
	*/
	return $crumbs;
}

Awesome, I’ll give it a spin! Thanks a lot!

Good luck. Could you mark this topic as resolved ?

I had this same problem and solved it by hiding it with this CSS

#breadcrumbs span:nth-child(2) a {
display:none;
}

I wanted my sites breadcrumbs to flow like:
Home > Businesses > Restaurants > Greasy Joes

But my theme (Geocraft) pulled up a surprise and gave me:
Home > Business Listings > Businesses > Restaurants > Greasy Joes

Since “Business Listings” is 2nd in the list, this CSS looks within the “#breadcrumbs” tag then in the “spans” then the second child in the list “(2)” and finally the link “a” and I made it hidden.
