Breadcrumb Trail order

  • Hi there,
    i got a custom post type created via CPT UI (“custompost”).
    Additionally i have a primary category (“primarycategory”).
    My permalinks are setup as /%category%/%postname%/

    But:
    The permalink “base”, the “cutompost” part can’t be edited.
    So my permalinks look like:
    https://domain.de/custompost/primarycategory/postname-xyz

    This leads to a breadcrumb:
    home | custompost |?primarycategory |?postname-xyz

    I want the custom post name and the primary category to be changed, so that my trail loks like:#

    home |?primarycategory | custompost |?postname-xyz

    How can i achieve this?

    P.S: i already installed the “Custom Post Type Permalinks” plugin, but this doesn’t help me out here.

    Best regards

    Breadcrumb NavXT assumes that since taxonomies describe post types, they live between the post type archive/post type root and the post instance in the breadcrumb trail. That said, you do bring up an interesting way to handle when a taxonomy belongs to several post types.

    In the immediate term, you can change the order of the breadcrumbs by writing a hook into the bcn_after_fill action. you will have access to all of the members of the breadcrumb trail and can re-arrange them as needed. See the Breadcrumb NavXT documentation for more information on this action: https://mtekk.us/code/breadcrumb-navxt/breadcrumb-navxt-doc/2/#bcn_after_fill

    @mtekk it’s really an interesting way for the breadcrumb order. it makes more sense when you do know the “domain” of the application:
    it’s a magazine.
    and i want the breadcrumb ordered so that the issue comes first:
    home | issue 2017/03 (primary category) | interview (cpt) | my-interview
    home | issue 2016/08 | books | my-book
    …

    best regards
