Custom Post Types and rewrite slug in breadcrumbs

    Hello,

    thanks for a ridiculously good plugin!

    I’m trying to set up breadcrumbs on a site where I have a few custom post types and I have those set to use a custom rewrite slug to include a parent static page called ‘news’.

    So urls would look like this ..

    site.com/news/awards/post-name
    site.com/news/events/post-name

    etc..

    I want this set up as custom post types rather than regular categories as it makes them clear separate sections for the client in admin.

    I can see how to set the breadcrumbs to show category.

    Is there a way to customise this to reflect the structure of my CPT and the custom slug?

    So like this:

    home/news/events/post-name

    Rather than

    home/post-name

    Is this possible and if so can you please advise or point me in the direction?

    Thanks!

    I too am looking for the same answer.

    I created 3 custom post types (CPT)

    When registering the CPTs I set has_archive to true and set the rewrite slug to use “products/custom-post-type”

    I also created archive pages for each post type. (archive-custom_post_type.php)

    I have an actual wp page called “products” that links off to the 3 custom post type archive pages. Then from there they can find links to individual products.

    As far as my permalinks, everything is fine. When I view a individual product my permalink looks like mydomain.com/products/custom-post-type/product-name

    The issue I have, which is the same as igloogog, is I need “products” to display in the Yoast SEO breadcrumbs that links the “product” page I created.

    Currently my breadcrumbs look like:

    Home > custom post type > product name

    where I need it to look like

    Home > products > custom post type > product name

    and the “products” needs to link the page I have called products.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

    HI, I would also like to know this. I have the structure mysite.com/customposttype/post123/ and home>customposttype>post123 works in the breadcrumbs.

    However, I have a link back from the page “post123” to the archive page “customposttype” and when you follow this link the breadcrumb reads home>post123 instead of home>customposttype.

    Any help appreciated!
