How to remove date (month, day) from post URL

By default, Breadcrumb NavXT is going to try to use a taxonomy for the post hierarchy in the breadcrumb trail. To get the date to show up in the breadcrumb trail (e.g. Home > 2020 > June > 06 > Postname), you most likely had to set the “Post Hierarchy” to “Dates” (assuming this is a post of the builtin Post post type). To not have a hierarchy for the post, make sure to uncheck the checkbox for the “Post Hierarchy Display” setting (where Post is the post type in question) and then press the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the settings page.

Hello John,

thanks for your reply! That is what I did. As I am on a multisite installation, I also tried to activate your plug in for every single site separately. But made settings do not reflect in the breadcrumb.

I think it may be a bug in my theme and it simply does ignore those settings. I will let you guys know if that is the problem.

Thank you for your support again!

Regarding settings in Multisite/Network site setups, there is a global/network settings page for Breadcrumb NavXT. Depending on the site configuration, the global settings may be overriding the subsite settings. See https://mtekk.us/archives/guides/controlling-breadcrumb-navxt-settings-from-the-network-settings-page/

Thanks for the hint, I tried that too, but same result.

I cannot seem to get in touch with the theme developer. Is there a way to see in the site’s source code if NavXT is used instead of the standard breadcrumb?

Currently, I do find this:

<nav role="navigation" aria-label="Breadcrumbs" class="breadcrumb-trail breadcrumbs" itemprop="breadcrumb"><ul class="trail-items" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/BreadcrumbList">

Thanks a lot
Stephan

Can it be that that code indicated that NavXT is not even loaded?

The best thing to do is to search the .php files in the theme for bcn_display. If that isn’t found in the theme, the breadcrumb trail is likely not by Breadcrumb NavXT.
