breadcrumbs

    Hello,

    I have used your plugin to migrate from drupal which brought over a bunch of custom post types – great.

    Now, I’d like to use the Yoast breadcrumbs to help users naviagate between pages and their hierarchy.

    The hierarchy is roughly like this: Home > Regional home > Resort Home > Category within resort home > you are here [page title]… such that in the breadcrumbs I’d like to see Resort home > Activities > [page title].

    The problem is that Yoast and all other breadrumb plugins I have found utilize the wp core categories and don’t allow for flexibility to utilize the ACF/CPT UI posts. Any ideas on how I can accomplish this?

    Here’s a video explainer: https://www.loom.com/share/b479dc135bbf47b3b13bcf7b65cbc4af

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi

    I honestly don’t have an answer for you, as CPTUI doesn’t influence the structure of breadcrumbs and their determined hierarchies. That’s all on Yoast or whichever plugin someone is using.

    From what I could see, it feels like your intended links for the breadcrumb parts are coming from different post types that are potentially being associated with each other, or landing pages that are showing posts from other post types. And that’s just not how Yoast is interpreting things.

    Some other notes/thoughts I had, is that a lot of the “search like” pages you were mentioning are probably the base archives for the content type that’s ending up getting clicked on. For example you pulled up the “activity” category, but you also have an “activity” post type. Since the core category archives have /category/ in their permalink, you were likely looking at the post type archive for “activity”.

    Yoast support would know more about any available filters in their breadcrumb code, more than I do.

    All in all, it feels like Yoast is interpreting things in a way that is not desired or intended, and it’s largely a question of how to amend or customize that.

    @rob_strickland Did you ever get this figured out?
