    Thanks geraldyeo…likely to try both because that would be a nice feature to be able to mix/match widgets.

    Esmi,

    http://www.webmarketingoptions.com/google-bigger-better-web-advertising-company/

    Tried a plug in to see if I could get the breadcrumbs on the Blog Page (still no breadcrumbs on that page), everything works fine on all the other pages except the pages that show my Posts…this is the code from my single.php file. Everything from //gets category and author info is appearing in the area just underneath the breadcrumbs. Thanks.

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
    	yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>');
    }
    
    ?>
    
    <div class="clearfloat stripes">
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    
    	<div id="content">
    </div>
    
                    //Gets category and author info
    
    		global $wp_query;
    
    		$bm_cats = get_the_category();
    		$postAuthor = $wp_query->post->post_author;
    		$tempQuery = $wp_query;

    Esmi,

    I have deactivated Headspace2…I will remove it once I backup all the titles and descriptions I wrote.

    Replacing $bm code with <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=');?> helped. I am still not getting any Breadcrumbs for the Blog Page, nothing shows up. But I think that’s because my breadcrumb code in page.php doesn’t satisfy what that page is now…

    I have activated All in One SEO and will work on getting my Title & Description Meta Tags squared away, then it’s on to the problems I am having with JCarousel. If you know of a good carousel-type or multi-slide function, let me know.

    Thanks again for all the help!

    Esmi,

    That removes the default Home button but it reappears when you click on the Home button and the home page is active. Actually, in Firefox it’s not doing it but in Safari it is. I haven’t checked IE.

    Also, how do I get breadcrumbs to appear when the Blog page is active

    In Admin/Settings/Reading, the front page is set to Home page and the Blog page is my Posts page.

    <?php head_meta_desc(); I can’t recall which site that came from (not from WP.org)…but I don’t believe it worked anyways.

    Thanks for the help!

    Esmi,

    My Nav code isn’t quite the same and I have tried a couple of things removing the “>Home with no success. Below is my complete Nav code in the header.php file. Also, once I remove the hardcode Home, how do I stop the Home button activating when you click on Blog button.

    On the meta tags, I first used All in One SEO plugin and wasn’t getting meta descriptions to show up. Then I tried Headspace2, seemed to work fine except for a few descriptions not showing up, so I added Head Meta Description plug in. Overkill.

    Does All in One SEO add the call function to the header for both Title and Description Meta Tags? I added Title myself, and it worked. Is `<?php head_meta_desc(); ?>’ the right call function?

    <div id="navbar" class="clearfloat">
    
    <ul id="nav" class="left clearfloat">
    <li <?php if (is_home()) { ?>class="current-cat"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/">Home</a></li>
    <?php
    
    	$bm_navigation = get_settings( "bm_navigation" );
    	if( $bm_navigation == "" || $bm_navigation == 0 ) {
    		wp_list_categories('title_li=');
    	} else {
    		wp_list_pages('title_li=');
    	}	 
    
    ?>
    </ul>
    
    <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
    
    </div><!--END NAVBAR-->

    Esmi,

    http://www.webmarketingoptions.com

    You are right….How would I remove the hardcode or default Home link and get the theme to recognize the Blog Page as its own page, especially for title and description tag purposes. Headspace entries for that page aren’t working. (note the breadcrumbs don’t show when the Blog button is activated). When you click on Home in the breadcrumbs though, it recognizes the static page as Home, so that works already. Thanks.

    OK…Thanks.

    that’s what I am trying to accomplish…show tags assigned on my non-post pages. This is what they look like on my Post Pages.

    http://www.webmarketingoptions.com/making-web-videos-that-sell/

    I want the same thing for the tags assigned on my non-post pages. Which php file should the code (if that’s the right code) go into and where should it go?

    Thanks!

    Your code tied the parent and the child together in one long link. But I saw what I needed to do and got it to work. Thanks for your help…

    <div id="breadcrumbs">You are here: <a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>">Home</a> >>
    <?php $parent = $post->post_parent;
    $parent_title = get_the_title($parent);
    echo '<a href="'.get_permalink($parent) .'">' . $parent_title .('');  ?> </a> >>
    <?php the_title(''); ?></div>

    Hey Songdogtech…I can’t get my Posts to show up on the Blog page that I created. All that shows up is the former default home page before I made my own static home page. I selected Posts Page: Blog in the Reading section of the Settings panel. As you know I am using the Exclude Pages from Navigation Plug In. On the Blog page, the button is selected that says Include in Nav Bar, so it’s in the Nav Bar as a page but not allowing it to be designated as my Blog (posts) page. Any ideas on what it could be? By the way, every page is being highlighted in my Pages Widget in the sidebar except Blog. Thanks.

    I am using the Exclude Pages from Navigation Plug In. I had to use it to remove the duplicate home page button that was created when I created my static home page. However on the Blog page, the button is selected that says Include in Nav Bar, so it’s in the Nav Bar as a page but not allowing it to be designated as my Blog (posts) page. Can I edit the exclude-pages.php file to change that? What are my options?

    (@sledgehammer)

    Yes. I have written two posts and both show up in my Sidebar as recent posts but are not showing up on “Blog” page that I created. Thanks.

    Thread Starter sledgehammer

    (@sledgehammer)

    Correct…. Posts page: Blog. That’s what is actually selected in the Reading section of my Setting Panel. Don’t have a Post page. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks.

    Hey I’m coding! I replaced #home with wp_list_pages in the line:

    #nav a:active, .current_page_item a, wp_list_pages.on {

    And it’s activating only the page being accessed now…However, the home button is not highlighting when on “home page”. The mouse over does work…I tried a few things to add home to the above sequence but don’t think I am coding correctly to get it to do what it should. Thanks!
