Full trail not shown?

    Setting up a new site. My page structure is as follows:

    Home/Top level page/subpage

    I see this trail from BCNavXT:

    Home/subpage

    But no visibility of the top level page that is the direct parent of the subpage. Is there a setting for this that I have missed? Each item in the trail is a page.

    TIA!

    How are you setting “subpage” as a child of “Top level page”? Are you doing this within the editor for the “subpage” (setting “Top level page” as the parent page for “subpage”)? Or are you doing this via the WordPress menu editor? For Breadcrumb NavXT to find the relationship, you must set “Top level page” as the parent page within the editor when editing “subpage”.

    Not sure I understand what you are saying. WP menu editor shows subpages as sub items (children) of top level page(s). There are no other settings available in the menu editor.

    When you say “within the editor,” what do you mean? What is this “editor” ?

    I’m referring to the post/page editor (where you edit the contents of the page). There should be a “Page Attributes” section on the side of the editor with a “Parent Page” setting, set that to the appropriate parent page for the page being edited, remember to save your changes (press the “Update” button).

    Thank you – that’s it! Now I am wondering exactly what the purpose of that setting might be, as it doesn’t have any effect on navigation via the Menu settings.
