 * Hi,
 * I have installed breadcrumb NavXT and I use the wordpress theme twentytwentytwo.
   
   My problem is that I don’t see the complete breadycrump trail but only the homepage
   and the site with the “lowest” level.
 * If for example the complete path is “Home > countries > regions > cities > streets”
   the displayed breadcrump is only “Home > streets”. The parts in between are missing.
 * Which settings I have to make resp. to change to see the complete path?
 * regards
 * Erik

 * My templates are calling header.php properly which I have defined in header.php:
 *     ```
       <div class="breadcrumbs" typeof="BreadcrumbList" vocab="https://schema.org/">
       <?php if (function_exists('bcn_display')) {
       bcn_display();
       } ?>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * I have used other breadcrumbs templates and I have the same issue.

 * [@wortpressender38](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wortpressender38/) For
   the expected ‘Home > countries > regions > cities > streets’, what is streets,
   cities, regions, and countries. Are these all terms within a hierarchical taxonomy?
   Are these posts of a hierarchical post type? Are they something else (is it a
   mix of a post and terms)? If these are all terms or posts, you must establish
   the parent -> child relationship within the posts/terms for Breadcrumb NavXT 
   to know there is a hierarchy to follow (please note that establishing a hierarchy
   in a menu does not actually result in your content being organized that way).
 * If it is a mix of posts and terms, at the point that it switches from posts to
   terms, that post must be a member of the desired term (set in the post editor).
   Also, you may need to tell Breadcrumb NavXT to use the taxonomy type that the
   term is a member of for the post hierarchy for the post type that post is an 
   instance of (this is set in the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page).

 * Hi John,
    first of all thanks for the immediate feedback. For me as a newbee 
   the questions sound a little bit difficult 🙂 I’m not talking about posts/a blog
   but about a website. The hierarchy look like this (fictive example):
 * > Home
    > countries > regions > cities > streets > north > west > south > east
   > FAQ > About me
 * I put the breadcrump in the header.
    I think I still have to play around a bit…
   and if I don’t find a solution then I will implement the breadcrump later.

 * Based on your response, I’m guessing you are using the WordPress menu builder
   to set up the menu structure you listed. Since the menu structure does not have
   to reflect the actual content location/structure/hierarchy, Breadcrumb NavXT 
   isn’t going to ‘just work’ in this case without either establishing the content
   relationships within WordPress (setting parents for pages/hierarchical post types
   and categories/hierarchical taxonomies) or using extra code to tell Breadcrumb
   NavXT to follow the menu (there is an extension to Breadcrumb NavXT that provides
   this functionality). As to exactly what has to be done to establish the relationship
   depends on what countries, regions. cities, streets, north, west, south, and 
   east are relating to content types within WordPress (are they pages, are they
   categories, are they terms of a custom taxonomy, are they something else).
