Yoast – Problems with $post->ancestors in class-breadcrumbs.php

Hi

When I’m browsing a topic in my forum (bbpress) I notice that the breadcrumb only displays the immediate parent of the topic. However, I was expecting to see the complete set of parents of the topic: the topic is under Forum_B, and Forum_B is a forum under Forum_A:

– Expected: Home >> Forum_A >> Forum_B >> Topic_Title
– Actual: Home >> Forum_B >> Topic_Title

Tracking the code, I found that in the YOAST file ‘class-breadcrumbs.php’ , the call to isset( $post->ancestors ) is returning false.

However, if instead of using $post->ancestors I use get_post_ancestors($post->ID) it works like a charm.

Not sure how to fix it other than modifying class-breadcrumbs.php .

Any idea why $post->ancestors is NOT set? Or any filter/action that I could write to avoid having to modify class-breadcrumbs.php ?

Thanks!

Juan

OLD CODE:

if ( isset( $post->ancestors ) ) {
   if ( is_array( $post->ancestors ) )
      $ancestors = array_values( $post->ancestors );
   else
      $ancestors = array( $post->ancestors );
   } else {
      $ancestors = array( $post->post_parent );
}

NEW CODE:

$post_ancestors = get_post_ancestors($post->ID);
if ( isset( $post_ancestors ) ) {
   if ( is_array( $post_ancestors ) )
      $ancestors = array_values( $post_ancestors );
   else
      $ancestors = array( $post_ancestors );
} else {
   $ancestors = array( $post->post_parent );
}
