Broken breadcrumb

Hi,

We have visited https://www.evwe.ch/ [^] – but unfortunately we haven’t foud our Gallery plugin there.

I’m really sorry for the trouble but since I don’t want Google to index that about-to-be-released site just yet I stated in the description that you need to add ‘wp/fotos/’ to the base URL.

I guess because the theme only supports breadcrumbs for pages which are in a “regular” menu/navigation. It uses the following PHP code to generate WP breadcrumbs:

<?php if ( function_exists( 'breadcrumb_trail' ) ) : // Check for breadcrumb support. ?>
	<?php breadcrumb_trail(
		array(
			'container'     => 'nav',
			'separator'     => '>',
			'show_browse'   => false,
			'show_on_front' => false,
		)
	); ?>
<?php endif; // End check for breadcrumb support. ?>

However, because the gallery (gallery-single-template.php) opened from the gallery overview page (gallery-template.php) is not in the navigation it won’t show up in the breadcrumb.

Assumptions correct?

Analyzing the bread crumb PHP code made me realize that all I need is a way to make the gallery overview (gallery-template.php) the parent of any gallery (gallery-single-template.php) in WP.
However, the gallery quick-edit interface in WP only gives me the option to pick a other gallery as parent – but not one of the regular pages. Sure, I can fix that directly in the WP database (wp_posts#post_parent) but next time a gallery is save this is overwritten ??

Hi,

Currently everything is correct with breadcrumbs – has your problem been resolved?

I had to fix it myself by hacking PHP…

Are you suggesting that your plugin should basically handle breadcrumbs correctly on a recent WP installation with standard theme? I was looking at your demo but since you don’t have the same constellation I can’t tell.

Based on my own tests and your PHP code I’m now a bit familiar with I conclude it doesn’t work. Besides my real-life test with the gallery template I also tested with a regular WP page ‘X’ to which I added the gallery short code. In that case too the page ‘X’ was removed from the breadcrumb once I navigated to the gallery.

Hi,

Please try to understand that everyone uses the plugin in accordance with their needs and we try to adjust the plugin to all requirements and the majority of its users. Besides, the functionality to form and display breadcrumbs can differ. As soon as we find a solution that would suit any erquirement, we will add it to the plugin’s functionality.
Thank you for informing us of this problem, we will take it into account.
