breadcrumb trail for custom post types

3 Replies ·

  1. I have permalinks set as /blog/%postname%/

    All works well except when any single-custom_post_type.php file is loaded.

    Home /Business Listings /Listing Category is a trail in which the second and third are pages with shortcodes to display the content using page.php which is fine.

    ‘Listing Category’ is a child page of ‘Business Listings’

    ‘Listings’ is also a child page of ‘Business Listings’,

    however the shortcode on the page ‘Listings’ loads single-custom_post_type.php and the breadcrumb becomes
    ‘Home /Blog /Listings /Single listing name’

    The behavior is the same for any single custom post.

    Could you suggest a fix?

    The “Blog” part of that often happens when a CPT has the with_front option set to true.

    Can you check args for your register_post_type()? It should look something like this:

    'rewrite' => array(
    'slug'       => 'slug',
    'with_front' => false,
    'pages'      => true,
    'feeds'      => true,
    'ep_mask'    => EP_PERMALINK,
),

    The with_front bit should be false.

    I have

    function railtrail_custom_post_type_args( $args, $post_type ) {
    if ( $post_type == "acadp_listings" ) {
        $args['rewrite'] = array(
            'with_front' => false,
            'pages'      => true,
            'feeds'      => true,
            'ep_mask'    => EP_PERMALINK,
            );
}

    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', 'railtrail_custom_post_type_args', 20, 2 );


function railtrail2_custom_post_type_args( $args, $post_type ) {
    if ( $post_type == "event" ) {
        $args['rewrite'] = array(
            'with_front' => false,
            'pages'      => true,
            'feeds'      => true,
            'ep_mask'    => EP_PERMALINK,
            );
}

    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', 'railtrail2_custom_post_type_args', 20, 2 );

    which works.

    Is this the best way to do and could you help combine into one statement?

    I’m thinking you can simplify it down to just this:

    add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', function( $args, $post_type ) {

    $types = [
        'acadp_listings',
        'events'
    ];

    if ( in_array( $post_type, $types ) ) {
        $args['rewrite']['with_front'] = false;
    }

    return $args;

}, 20, 2 );
