Fix breadcrumb code to work with custom post types
-
For a long time I have been using the following code to produce breadcrumbs in my theme. I use it because I do not like being dependent on plugins for basic functions.
// Breadcrumbs function limelight_breadcrumbs() { $delimiter = ' > '; //text for the 'Home' link $name = __("Home", "limelight"); $currentBefore = ' <span class="current">'; $currentAfter = '</span> '; if (!is_home() && !is_front_page() || is_paged()) { echo '<nav id="breadcrumbs">'; global $post; $home = get_bloginfo('url'); echo '<a href="' . $home . '">' . $name . '</a> ' . $delimiter . ''; if (is_category()) { global $wp_query; $cat_obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object(); $thisCat = $cat_obj->term_id; $thisCat = get_category($thisCat); $parentCat = get_category($thisCat->parent); if ($thisCat->parent != 0) echo(get_category_parents($parentCat, true, '' . $delimiter . '')); echo $currentBefore . single_cat_title() . $currentAfter; } elseif (is_day()) { echo '<a href="' . get_year_link(get_the_time('Y')) . '">' . get_the_time('Y') . '</a> ' . $delimiter . ''; echo '<a href="' . get_month_link(get_the_time('Y'), get_the_time('m')) . '">' . get_the_time('F') . '</a> ' . $delimiter . ' '; echo $currentBefore . get_the_time('d') . $currentAfter; } elseif (is_month()) { echo '<a href="' . get_year_link(get_the_time('Y')) . '">' . get_the_time('Y') . '</a> ' . $delimiter . ''; echo $currentBefore . get_the_time('F') . $currentAfter; } elseif (is_year()) { echo $currentBefore . get_the_time('Y') . $currentAfter; } elseif (is_attachment()) { echo $currentBefore; the_title(); $currentAfter; } elseif (get_post_type()) { $term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) ); echo $currentBefore . $term->name . $currentAfter; } elseif (is_single()) { $cat = get_the_category(); $cat = $cat[0]; echo get_category_parents($cat, true, ' ' . $delimiter . ''); echo $currentBefore; the_title(); echo $currentAfter; } elseif (is_page() && !$post->post_parent) { echo $currentBefore; the_title(); echo $currentAfter; } elseif (is_page() && $post->post_parent) { $parent_id = $post->post_parent; $breadcrumbs = array(); while ($parent_id) { $page = get_page($parent_id); $breadcrumbs[] = '<a href="' . get_permalink($page->ID) . '">' . get_the_title($page->ID) . '</a>'; $parent_id = $page->post_parent; } $breadcrumbs = array_reverse($breadcrumbs); foreach ($breadcrumbs as $crumb) echo $crumb . ' ' . $delimiter . ' '; echo $currentBefore; the_title(); echo $currentAfter; } elseif (is_search()) { echo $currentBefore . get_search_query() . $currentAfter; } elseif (is_tag()) { echo $currentBefore . single_tag_title() . $currentAfter; } elseif (is_author()) { global $author; $userdata = get_userdata($author); echo $currentBefore . $userdata->display_name . $currentAfter; } elseif (is_404()) { echo $currentBefore . '404 Not Found' . $currentAfter; } if (get_query_var('paged')) { if (is_home() || is_category() || is_day() || is_month() || is_year() || is_search() || is_tag() || is_author()) echo $currentBefore; echo __('Page','limelight') . ' ' . get_query_var('paged'); if (is_home() || is_category() || is_day() || is_month() || is_year() || is_search() || is_tag() || is_author()) echo $currentAfter; } echo '</nav>'; } }However I now have need for custom post types, and this function can’t cope with them. I have searched high and low, and nowhere can I find a complete answer as to how to fix this code to work with custom post types. Most replies are non helpful “use such and such plugin” variety.
I have dug through a few breadcrumb plugins that do work with custom post types in hopes of discovering how to apply it to my own code, but to no avail.
I would be greatly appreciative if someone modified my above code to work with custom post types. I know it must be fairly simple, but with my very rudimentary knowledge of PHP I just can’t figure it out.
