Hi,

first of all, thanks for your great theme. It’s fast and good code.

I see you implement a breadcrumb functionality with different functions for differents templates (author, search, archive, category… etc) but for working with custom post types and taxonomies they aren’t good enought.

I would like to use breadcrumb from seo by yoast, it do a very good job but it’s no easy to implement in your theme. If I add the yoast_breadcrumb function in header.php it’s out your div structure and don’t seem ok. I would like it to appear on the same place your breadcrumbs. There is any easy way to do it without edit all your breadcrumbs function ?

I use a child theme.

Thanks.

A good option could be in your theme setting to use yoast breadcrumbs if this plugins is installed.

Hi,
You need to replace all our breadcrumb function, with the Yoast function if you want to use that breadcrumb. Personally i hadn’t tested the Yoast breadcrumbs, usually we avoid to implement/use/include 3dparty plugins, is very hard to be maintained.

Thanks for the message!

Ok, Thanks Marius.

An option, for a more advanced and customizable use of your theme could be implement two hooks at beginning and end of main content block. This manner each advanced user can control and implement this kind of third party plugins easily.

Hi,
I spoke with the developers and told me that they let users to manage the advanced customizability via Child theme.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway!

Hi Marius, breadcrumb functions can’t be replaced with child theme, they are on includes/wp_booster/td_page_generator.php and always it’s incluyed from parent theme, not child, maybe if you include all breadcrumb function in a module (as for get_bread_crumbs) that can be replaced in child would be more useful.

Hi, I mean that you can replace the breadcrumb function with your breadcrumb function directly in each template that fork to be modified via Child theme.

Hi Marius, the problem is that I would like to modify breadcrumb on whole site not only in forked templates.

I see you have modify breadcrumb functions with different names in the last update. But please, can you create an only file with all breadcrumb functions in next version ? This will make the work easy for developpers to make modifications in future.

As developers we’re having some problems when making changes to the template code. It would be of inestimable help that you had us in mind 🙂

Thanks.

Hi,

I’m searching for a solution to this problem. The last update fixed all the issues with the breadcrumbs (better markup for seo).

Also all the breadcrumb functions are now in includes/wp_booster/td_page_generator.php (it’s still not possible to overwrite it via child theme but I will test it and if everything works I will switch the include method to locate template).

I tried some time before to implement hook/filters but gave up on that plan due to poor demand and issues with the implementation.

Thank Radu, maybe the hook/filter path is a good option. All your breadcrumb functions can be filtered by a last unique (or different) filter and the user can choose to modify it or do a complete replace.

Anyway, thanks for your breadcrumbs upgrades.

Hi,

I’ve added this to our issue tracker but we will only implement it if more people request it or if we decide to implement some hooks. I’m sorry for this, we have over 140 feature requests and we have to be very careful what we pick.

Hello to everyone here!

I agree with @indeax that the breadcrumb functionality of the current theme is not working well with custom post types and like indeax, I turned to Yoast breadcrumbs.
