    Hi there,

    Because I’m not a fan of plugins, I’m trying to make a breadcrumb with only php. I’m running into an if / elseif error that has costed a few hours of puzzling already.
    The breadcrumbs looks something like this:

    <?php
if( $post->ID ==  1 ) { 	// Page1 ?>
	<div id="page1"><a href="/page1">page1</a> &raquo Article: <?=$post->single_post_title()?></div>
	<? } else { ?> Page1 <? }
elseif ( $post->ID == 2 ) { 	// Page2 ?>
	<div id="page2"><a href="/page2">Page2</a> &raquo <?=$post->post_title()?></div>
	<? } else { ?>Page2<? }
elseif ( $post->ID == 3 ) { 	// Page3 ?>
	<div id="page3">Page3</div>
        <? }
elseif ( $post->ID == 4 ) { 	// Page4 ?>
	<div id="page4">Page4</div>
	<? }
else { ?>
	<?=$post->single_post_title()?>
	<? }
?>

    [Please post code & markup between backticks or use the code button. Your posted code may now have been permanently damaged by the forum’s parser.]

    An parser error is found in the line of the first elseif. What I assume because the if is already closed by the else, that’s supposed to be merely an alternative, if the single_post _title isn’t found.
    Any suggestions (no plug ins, please) are more than welcome.
    Thanks in advance!

    Try something like:

    <?php
if( $post->ID < 5 ) :?>
$my_div_id = 'page' . $post->ID;
$my_page_title = 'Page ' . $post->ID;
$my_page_slug = esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ) . $post->ID;>

<div id="<?php echo $my_div_id;?>"><a href="<?php echo $my_page_slug;?>"><?php echo $my_page_title;?></a> &raquo Article: <>pphp echo $post->single_post_title();?></div>
<?php else:
echo $post->single_post_title();
endif;
?>

    1. Don’t use relative urls in WordPress. They are unpredictable at best.
    2. Don’t use the shortened version of <?php

    Wow, that’s a pretty drastic change! Thank you very much.
    Also for the tips.

    I’ll look into this code and post any further steps/obstacles/solutions for assistance.

    Pretty soon after posting this topic, the following code got it working. (It may be pretty messy, but it’s purely to be of help to anyone who has a similar problem). Esmi’s code is probably far cleaner, but unfortunately not in this case, because of the many sideways.

    <?php
if($post->ID ==  x): { ?>
    	<div class="myawesomeclass">
					<?php if( $post->post_type == 'post_type1' ) { ?>
						<a href="#"><div class="myawesomeclass"></div></a>  &raquo Link: <?=$post->post_title?>
						<? } ?>
				</div>

  	<? } elseif($post->ID ==  x):  { ?>

  	 	<div class="bloghoofd">

					<?php if( $post->category_name == 'category_slug' ) { ?>
						<a href="/##"><div class="myawesomeclass"></div></a> &raquo Link: <?=$post->post_title?>
					<? } ?>
				</div>

  	<? } elseif($post->ID ==  x):  {?>
	   <div class="myawesomeclass"></div>

	<? } elseif($post->ID ==  x):  {?>
	   <div id=class="myawesomeclass"></div>

	<? } elseif($post->ID == x):  {?>
	   <div class="myawesomeclass">
	   				<a href="/###"><div class="myawesomeclass"> Link: </div></a>
	   				</div>
	<? } elseif( in_category( 'blog' ) ): { ?>
	   <a href="/####">
	   				<div class="myawesomeclass"> Link: </div></a> 

	<? } elseif($post->ID > x):  {?>
	   <div class="myawesomeclass">
					<?php if( $post->post_type == 'post_type2' ) { ?>
						<a href="/#####"><div class="myawesomeclass"></div></a> &raquo Link: <?=$post->post_title?>
						<? } ?>
		</div>	

	<? } elseif($post->ID ==  2):  {
	   echo ('');

	 } else: {
	    echo the_title(); ?>
		<?}
endif;
?>

    Maybe it contains pieces for anyone.
    Hope it helps 😉
