This beadcrumbs class was never meant to be a full breadcrumb solution and we can’t guarantee that it’s going to handle 100% every permutation out there. My suggestion for a more full solution would be something like: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/breadcrumb-navxt/.

That being said, I wrangled the code a bit more, adding a function to be able to check for parent pages, and conditionally checking if a page has a parent page and if it does, include that in the breadcrumb trail. I hope that helps!

Any clues?

I just revised the code above. Want to try out the new code and let us know how it goes?

Thanks,
Jonah

Also, the code doesn’t work anyway, even if you change all the character entities. On the listview page it shows home >> events >> first even on the list.

We can’t write breadcrumb code for every framework or situation, or we would just include it in a plugin or add-on. The code above is simply an example of how to go about it — the rest is an exercise left to the reader.

RE: Yoast – “or return the whole breadcrumb in a variable rather than print it” — which you could then overwrite with a custom taxonomy aware breadcrumb as needed before output (e.g. if the page requires it). Not the most elegant solution, but it would work.

The Yoast breadcrumb is good, but it doesn’t display the custom taxonomies.

Unfortunately Nick’s reply isn’t very helpful either. Yoast’s description allows you to set a prefix or suffix, or return the whole breadcrumb in a variable rather than print it. It certainly doesn’t help to incorporate custom taxonomies.

The answer is right on the page you linked to in the “Advanced use of WordPress Breadcrumbs” section.

You can use that piece of code to overwrite the Yoast generated breadcrumbs with some code extracted from the sample code above.
