    Good afternoon John,

    I seem to have a bit of a dilemma on my hands that I do not know how to currently solve on my own and I was wondering if perhaps you could assist me with this?

    Anyway, my situation is that my wordpress site is built primarily on pages and the only thing that I use “Posts” for is the Blog Section of the site which you can view here https://www.pcmedicsoncall.com/blog/ now, as you can see, my Blog Archive Page has custom breadcrumbs for the Categories that I have on the site and I only have your plugin displaying the breadcrumbs on the “Single Post Pages” which is fine and THESIS allows you to do this quite easily on a granular basis but, when viewing a single post page such as this one here https://www.pcmedicsoncall.com/computer-tips/how-to-prevent-windows-os-failure-and-avoid-costly-repairs/ my problem is that the “HOME” Link is also displayed on the breadcrumb trail and I only wish to have the “BLOG” as the Home for the Single Post Pages because well…the intent would be to only send people back to the BLOG ARCHIVE page.

    Now, the problem is that I need the Home Link Checked so that it displays SITE WIDE with the Exception of the Single Post Pages on the Blog. How do I do this please???

    Currently running WP 4.1.1 AND Thesis Framework 2.1.9

    Thank you John.

    Generally, the Blog is considered a child of the Home page, so that’s why Home will show up if the dispaly of that breadcrumb is enabled for the site. Now, as to how to remove the Home breadcrumb on posts, you will want to look at this extension plugin: https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT-Extensions/blob/master/breadcrumb_navxt_remove_curitm.php

    Now, you will need to modify it so that it looks for the last breadcrumb in the trail (array) rather than the first. Additionally, remove the check for ‘current-item’ as the type. Normally, I’d instruct looking for ‘home’ as the type, but that won’t be populated for the home page in the current version. You may instead want to look at the title (if you know what it will be, likely ‘Home’, call the get_title() member function rather than look at the type member variable).

    Hey John and Happy Easter,

    Question, what do I do with the above code as in where does this go? You mentioned that is a plugin? Do I copy this code and save it as a php file and name it and upload this to the plugin folder or does this go into my custom.php (Thesis uses custom.php not functions.php)

    EDIT: I have uploaded the PHP File to Plugins and what exactly should the current-item be replaced with?

    //Check if we have a current item
    I have changed “current-item” to “home” but that has no effect whatsoever?

    PLEASE ADVISE >>>>>

    Thanks John.

    I recommend using a site-specific plugin for this. Beyond that, do note that you can’t just replace ‘current-item’ with ‘home’ as ‘home’ isn’t set all the time in Breadcrumb NavXT 5.2 (as I stated in my second paragraph of my previous response).
