Changing page breadcrumbs

I found this in the support forum. It seems I need to write a line of code that defines $title with the type and ID. The ID would be a number I’m guessing, and for type I think is_page() is what I need to use.

I’ll post back here once I figure it out.

add_filter('bcn_breadcrumb_title', 'my_breadcrumb_title_filter', 11, 3);
function my_breadcrumb_title_filter($title, $type, $id)
{
if(is_single())
{
//Update title with whatever you want here, use the $type array entities and $id to help you
}
return $title;
}

Yes, to do this you will need to write a filter that hooks into bcn_breadcrumb_title. Within this filter, rather than check is_single() check $id against the ID of the resource you want to change the title for (also check that the post type you’re looking for is in the $type array, otherwise you may get unexpected results). If you have several pages you want to manually set the title on, this may get a little cumbersome.

If you don’t want to write your own code for this, the Title Trixx extension provides an interface to do this in the post edit page.

You wrote: “Within this filter, rather than check is_single() check $id against the ID of the resource you want to change the title for (also check that the post type you’re looking for is in the $type array, otherwise you may get unexpected results).”

So, replace ‘is_single’ with the one in your array for pages? And then check for the id number of the page I’m targeting?

Isn’t ‘is_page’ (or whichever one you’re using) the same as checking for post type? Or is checking to make sure it’s in the array a separate statement I need to write?

Something like this?

if(in_array('post-page', $type) && (int) $id === MYPAGEID)

Yes, check for ‘post-page’ being a member of the $type array rather than is_single() is recommended.

Checking is_page() only works if you currently are on a page. Checking the $type array passed into the filter is safer as it is guarenteed to apply to the breadcrumb in the breadcrumb trail that you are filtering/modifying the title.

if(in_array('post-page', $type) && (int) $id === MYPAGEID)

Yes.
