Missing breadcrumbs on interior pages

Hi there,

Though Breadcrumbs have been activated in the Theme Settings, and I can see them in the category pages, they’re not showing up on individual pages:

Hi,

Seems that none of the post pages display breadcrumbs. That post seems to be part of this category
https://climbingtechtips.com/category/gym-top-rope-climbing/
But I can’t find the post there however.

This page will show breadcrumbs – https://climbingtechtips.com/instructional-climbing-videos-2/gym-top-rope-climbing/
The template page with title is used and also there are parent/child connections between the pages.
That page will be in no relation to the post you mention, between posts and pages there is no relation. The connection will be between the category page and the post belonging to it.

It is unusual that the post pages don’t display breadcrumbs. Did you maybe make any modifications to the post template files mainly the single php files?

Could be the result of a plugin conflict as well, try leaving only theme plugins active and check again. Breadcrumbs should display at all times for posts once enabled.

Hello. I had to leave this issue for awhile. Could it be because the page at

http://ctt.staging.wpengine.com/instructional-climbing-videos/gym-top-rope-climbing/gear-considerations/

is a post, whereas the pages higher up in the category are actually pages, rather than category archives?

Hi,

That would explain it. How exactly is this structure made? Navigating from a category page to the post, the expected path would be /category/post name for example.

So accessing a post from here – http://ctt.staging.wpengine.com/category/gym-top-rope-climbing/
Should display breadcrumbs accordingly in the post. But while in the post at the moment higher up is a page, not the category archive. I haven’t seen this before.

I’m not sure why it was made this way, other than I think the dev prior to me on this project was inexperienced. I just wanted to be sure it wasn’t accessing some functionality of a theme I hadn’t seen before.

As it is now, it’s parent page > child page > post, thus breaking the continuity of the post-type which renders null the structure necessary for breadcrumbs to work, correct?

That would be how it is currently from what I can see. For example in this link
https://www.screencast.com/t/azLYMpdp1MZn
So from a category page like this http://ctt.staging.wpengine.com/category/gym-top-rope-climbing/
I get a post page like this
http://ctt.staging.wpengine.com/instructional-climbing-videos/gym-top-rope-climbing/verbal-commands/
Which is website/page/category/post. Could be the way the permalinks are set, you could check in the WordPress permalink settings. Or maybe in the htacess or wp-config files.

Thanks again for your help.

I tried every Permalink setting, and I’ve checked both the htaccess and wp-config files. I also deactivated every plugin – the issue still persists. I can’t see anything amiss in either the htaccess or wp-config file, but I might be missing something. Can I send you the contents of both files securely so you can check for yourself?
