When dealing with hierarchical taxonomies, Breadcrumb NavXT picks the first taxonomy term that has a parent set. There are ways of setting a preferred term using either an add-on plugin (Paths or Order Bender should work) or writing code to hook into the bcn_pick_post_term filter.
Hi John,
Thanks for your reply and suggestions.
Why does it use “the first taxonomy term that has a parent set” rather than simply The First, parent or not?
I already installed “Taxonomy Terms Order” and sorted the taxonomies, but for the breadcrumbs that made no difference. “Paths” and “Order Bender” plugins I didn’t find. Would you have links?
Thank you!
Since you are using a hierarchical taxonomy, it is assumed that a term with a parent is more useful than one without parent. The breadcrumb trail is trying to display the location of a resource within a site, being more specific (a term with a parent is assumed to be more specific) is more valuable.
Both Breadcrumb NavXT Paths and Order Bender are not in the .org repo, use Google to search for them.
