Remove specific category (uncategorized) or page from breadcrumbs

The type member array of each bcn_breadcrumb object in the bcn_breadcrumb_trail::breadcrumbs array should be publicly accessible. Additionally, you can use the bcn_breadcrumb::get_title() and bcn_breadcrumb::get_id() public functions to help you determine if the breadcrumb is the one you want to remove.

$trail
add_action(‘bcn_after_fill’, ‘foo_pop’);

function foo_pop($trail) {

}

which gives bcn_breadcrumb_trail, works! with var_dump() it shows me all the the info i wish to access, it shows all titles, id as protected or private, I can’t loop through to compare values i wish to use to identify the breadcrumb i wish to remove, WHY? because they are protected or private.

bcn_breadcrumb::get_title()
bcn_breadcrumb::get_id()

Do nothing but throw up error, if you had bothered to supply example in what context these are supposed to be used, this would not have happened, so I guessed, most likely wrongly, and here we are again.

Thank again for any useful help

Since various filters are run on the ID and title, they are only accessible via get_ and set_ functions. This is a very common OOP practice.

You can’t directly call bcn_breadcrumb::get_title(), since it is not a static function. That notation was just to let you know that it is a member function within bcn_breadcrumb. For your foo_pop function you need to do something like the following:

function foo_pop($trail)
{
	foreach($trail->breadcrumbs as $breadcrumb)
	{
		if($breadcrumb->get_title() === 'blah')
		{
			//do something
		}
	}
}

Now that more like It! Thanks, I knew previous coding was class access, the coding example, I’m sure I tried that? but never mind, it works now, excellent.

add_action('bcn_after_fill', 'exclude_these_crumbs');

$exclude_ids = [1,126];

function exclude_these_crumbs($trail) {
    global $exclude_ids;

    foreach ($trail->breadcrumbs as $key => $breadcrumb) {
        if (in_array($breadcrumb->get_id(), $exclude_ids)) {
            array_splice($trail->breadcrumbs, $key, 1);
        }
    }
}

@dsonesuk
can you clarify that code by any chance? It gives me syntax error in my functions.php …

I am in similar boat, where I need to hide “U.S.” in my crumbs for news in

Site > U.S. > California > Los Angeles

Need those in the U.S. category vs World category, but redundant for the breadcrumbs as 95% of the U.S. index matches the main one. In my case I want to hide category 19 … but this gives me syntax error. I know I’m missing the duh thing here …. any suggestion?

add_action('bcn_after_fill', 'exclude_these_crumbs');

$exclude_ids = [19];

function exclude_these_crumbs($trail) {
    global $exclude_ids;

    foreach ($trail->breadcrumbs as $key => $breadcrumb) {
        if (in_array($breadcrumb->get_id(), $exclude_ids)) {
            array_splice($trail->breadcrumbs, $key, 1);
        }
    }
}

Issue seems to be this item floating in the middle
$exclude_ids = [19];

thanks for any feedback, if you have the time. If not, totally understand!

Oh…. actually – just discovered the ‘bender’ add-on … that totally works for what I need – and awesome!!!

“Issue seems to be this item floating in the middle
$exclude_ids = [19];”

No syntax error shows from current example used? from editor used or from php display errors settings, so I don’t currently see why you have syntax error showing?

@neotrope can you share the link for this “bender” please, I can’t find it…
