Suggestion: Home Link pointing to Blog

    Hi this is a great plugin! On my site I have a separate page for posts and was thinking of changing this code so that the user gets to the posts page (my blog) instead the whole website:

    protected function add_crumbs_front_page() {
  //$this->add_item( __( 'Home', 'breadcrumb-block' ), esc_url( user_trailingslashit( home_url() ) ), [ 'rel' => 'home' ] );
  $this->add_item( __( 'Home', 'breadcrumb-block' ), esc_url( user_trailingslashit( get_post_type_archive_link( 'post' ) ) ), [ 'rel' => 'home' ] );		
}

    It could be an option in the block settings, what do you think? Or does it make no sense? I have a similar breadcrumb on my woocommerce page where “home” points to the home of the store, not the home of the whole website.

    Hi @schwimmlehrer,

    My first thought for this use case is adding two filter hooks like breadcrumb_block_home_url and breadcrumb_block_home_text

    The new code will be:

    $this->add_item( apply_filters( 'breadcrumb_block_home_text', __( 'Home', 'breadcrumb-block' ) ), esc_url( user_trailingslashit( apply_filters( 'breadcrumb_block_home_url', home_url() ) ) ), [ 'rel' => 'home' ] );

    The code to alter the home url and text will be:

    add_filter( 'breadcrumb_block_home_url', function ( $url ) {
  return 'new_url';
} );

add_filter( 'breadcrumb_block_home_text', function ( $text ) {
  return 'new text';
} );

    What do you think this quick solution?

    I like it! That way I could also change the Text to “Blog” so that the user knows that he goes back to the Blog page. More flexible than adding it as an option to the block ui.

    Okay, I’ll release a new version for it very soon.
