    I originally posted this in general, but realised (after digging a little deeper) that is is probably the place to post.

    Hi,

    I’m a beginner at this so please bear with me. I have installed Breadcrumb NavXT and been able to display my breadcrumbs ok. However, I have a slight issue. My breadcrumb is displaying like this:
    home > Blog > Category Name > Post Name

    But, I want:
    home > Category Name > Post Name

    ie, without the blog link. Does anyone know how I might achieve that?

    I have unchecked the option in ‘General’ to not place blog breadcrumb in the trail. But it still shows up on the page. What am I missing? it’s driving me nuts

    Update – I’m getting closer. I decided to delete the blog page entirely (as it was unlikely to be used). However, Now I’m getting double separators between “home” and the category like this:

    home > > Category Name > Post Name

    Surely there’s a way to delete that second separator?

    How are you calling the breadcrumb trail? Unchecking the “Blog Breadcrumb” option in the settings page (and saving your changes), should result in the Blog breadcrumb not appearing in the breadcrumb trail. However, if you are calling the breadcrumb trail in a manner that does not pull in the settings, changes in the settings will not be reflected in the breadcrumb trail.

    Hi John,

    Thanks for the reply

    I’m calling it like so:

    <div class="breadcrumbs full-width-breadcrumbs" xmlns:v="http://rdf.data-vocabulary.org/#">
    <?php if(function_exists('bcn_display'))
    {
        bcn_display();
    }?>
</div>

    I tried unchecking the “Blog Breadcrumb” option in settings but Blog still appeared.

    I tried reproducing this on my testbed (to check if something had broken with that setting), and was unable to obtain the results you did for normal WordPress posts and categories. However, if you are dealing with a non-hierarchical custom post type, then the cause of the issue is the “Root Page” setting for that post type, change it to “-Select-“.
