Hi Michael,

Thank you for your time it has been invaluable.

I have found the root of the problem and it is due to me ticking the category and the parent category tick boxes in the post edit page rather than just the base category. I am new to wordpress and the reason I did this is because if I just tick the category I want, the interface visually changes and does not show the relationship to its parents.

A note could be added to the codex stating that you should only tick the base category and not the base category and all the parent categories, and that heritage should be set up within the categories edit page to save any confusion. I say this because I have looked at a few wordpress blogs and it seems it is common.

I hope that helps you too kodap, here is a link showing how it functions correctly:

Many Thanks.

Hi Michael,
Default theme and no plugins activated:
http://blog.typeslowly.co.uk/web-development/micro-site-and-banner-campaign-for-cartoon-network/

You an see it is putting

micro sites, web development

Web development is the parent so I would like to output:

web development, micro sites

Am I totally misunderstanding how this is suppoesed to work?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your reply, here is a link to the dev space:

http://blog.typeslowly.co.uk/web-development/micro-site-and-banner-campaign-for-cartoon-network/

<div id=”breadcrumb”>
<div class=”home”>“>Home
<?php echo the_category(‘ ‘,TRUE); ?></div>
</div>

I have set Web Development to be the parent of Micro Sites.
