• Hi,

    I have installed breadcrumb NavXT and I use the wordpress theme twentytwentytwo.
    My problem is that I don’t see the complete breadycrump trail but only the homepage and the site with the “lowest” level.

    If for example the complete path is “Home > countries > regions > cities > streets” the displayed breadcrump is only “Home > streets”. The parts in between are missing.

    Which settings I have to make resp. to change to see the complete path?

    regards

    Erik

  • I have the same issue. Spent 4 hours through plugin doc but no luck. Any help on this?

    My templates are calling header.php properly which I have defined in header.php:

    <div class="breadcrumbs" typeof="BreadcrumbList" vocab="https://schema.org/">
    <?php if (function_exists('bcn_display')) {
    bcn_display();
    } ?>
    </div>

    I have used other breadcrumbs templates and I have the same issue.

    @wortpressender38 For the expected ‘Home > countries > regions > cities > streets’, what is streets, cities, regions, and countries. Are these all terms within a hierarchical taxonomy? Are these posts of a hierarchical post type? Are they something else (is it a mix of a post and terms)? If these are all terms or posts, you must establish the parent -> child relationship within the posts/terms for Breadcrumb NavXT to know there is a hierarchy to follow (please note that establishing a hierarchy in a menu does not actually result in your content being organized that way).

    If it is a mix of posts and terms, at the point that it switches from posts to terms, that post must be a member of the desired term (set in the post editor). Also, you may need to tell Breadcrumb NavXT to use the taxonomy type that the term is a member of for the post hierarchy for the post type that post is an instance of (this is set in the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page).

    Hi John,
    first of all thanks for the immediate feedback.
    For me as a newbee the questions sound a little bit difficult ??
    I’m not talking about posts/a blog but about a website. The hierarchy look like this (fictive example):

    > Home
    > countries > regions > cities > streets
    > north > west > south > east
    > FAQ
    > About me

    I put the breadcrump in the header.
    I think I still have to play around a bit… and if I don’t find a solution then I will implement the breadcrump later.

    Based on your response, I’m guessing you are using the WordPress menu builder to set up the menu structure you listed. Since the menu structure does not have to reflect the actual content location/structure/hierarchy, Breadcrumb NavXT isn’t going to ‘just work’ in this case without either establishing the content relationships within WordPress (setting parents for pages/hierarchical post types and categories/hierarchical taxonomies) or using extra code to tell Breadcrumb NavXT to follow the menu (there is an extension to Breadcrumb NavXT that provides this functionality). As to exactly what has to be done to establish the relationship depends on what countries, regions. cities, streets, north, west, south, and east are relating to content types within WordPress (are they pages, are they categories, are they terms of a custom taxonomy, are they something else).
