   Hello

   I am trying to customise a WP theme and use Mark A Shields breadcrumbs navigation (http://markashields.com/) at the same time. I am also trying to make it xhtml compliant.

   The problem is that the breadcrumbs script creates an id that is then used for the post title. When I validate I get:

   Line 68, column 27: ID "post-24" already defined
<h3 class="storytitle" id="post-24"><a href="http:...

   Line 58, column 283: ID "post-24" first defined here
...tag">Case Studies</a> > <span id="post-24"><a href="http://

   Is there any way around this? I am teaching myself CSS at the same time as doing this so its all a bit confusing.

   Cheers
   Andy

   This because both the breadcrumb plugin and your theme are creating identical id's you have two choices:

   1. Change the id used by the plugin for posts
   2. Change the id used by the theme for posts

   These can be achieved as follows:

   Plugin: Open up the breadcrumb-navigation.php file in an editor and find the following:
   <span id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   Replace it with:
   <span id="post-crumb-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

   Theme: Search the index.php in you theme for the following code:
   <h3 class="storytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   Replace it with:
   <h3 class="storytitle" id="post-title-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

   If you edit the theme you may have to check and modify other template files such as page.php if they exist.

   hope this helps

   Cheers Westi - not only was this the fastest post I have ever seen but it worked like a dream. I just have to edit the other pages now.

   Many, many thanks
