Full testimonials page

ok, thank you very much for your reply and the very useful tip of refreshing the permalink.
However, it didn’t work in this case ; I thought that maybe this tool of wordpress admin panel (allowing to add testimnial category to a menu which implies that the page of a testimonial’s category list is generated using theme’s template, under “testimonial/category-name”) is misleading and that I first have to create a page putting the shortcode [testimonials category=’xxx’], and then add that page to the menu.
Kindly confirm.

Also, the breadcrumb on a single testimonial page doesn’t show “testimonials”, or testimonial-category as parent of that particular post ; it’s directely after the homepage.
If I understand well, this is a normal behavior. ?

Hi,
The breadcrumb I’m using is supplied by my theme.
I looked into the code, there’s

if (is_single()) {
			if (has_category()) {
				$category = get_the_category();
				echo '<a href="'.get_category_link($category[0]->cat_ID).'">'.$category[0]->cat_name.' &raquo; </a>';
			}
        }

before

if (is_page() || is_single()) {
            echo ''.get_the_title().'';
        }

but the testimonial category is not detected.
If I understood well, testimonial is a custom post type, which is also not detected.
What I find a bit upsetting is that breadcrumb doesn’t show “testimonial” as a sort of category, whereas the url of a single testimonial is testimonial/post_title.
But on the other hand, if there’s no archive page with “testimonial(s)” as url, maybe that’s logic.

Yes ! After refreshing the permalink, the category page worked !
Thank you so much for fixing it.
I’m really amazed by your active support.

However, the category name was not shown as page title (h1), I saw that archive.php of my theme doesn’t make any query for this, so I added in h1:

elseif (is_tax()) :
                        $term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) );
                        echo $term->name;

Maybe there’s a more elegant way, but it works.
FYI, from what I saw, most of themes just output “archives”, except Twenteen fifteen which outputs “Testimonial category : XXX”.

The breadcrumb is not finding the category neither, which annoyed me more.
I have a similar issue with the events calendar plugin. (They have their own templates, and the full events page is listed under “/events” with no breadcrumb, but the event category page and single event page show empty breadcrumb, not even single event title.)

Maybe I need to get into the code for the breadcrumb.

I’d appreciate if you have any suggestion for finding the custom post type name and the custom category name (and the url ?) from a single testimonial page and a list page.
