I think it depends what your goal is and what the breadcrumbs represent. I would say that for most wordpress sites nofollow on breadcrumbs is probably a nonissue. Let’s start with nofollow. Nofollow says you don’t want a search engine to pass on page rank to this link. So if you had comment links and … Read more
So I figured out, that my theme was not designed to handle custom post types (at least not via the archive). The solution was to edit the code as shown below. Comments inserted where changes were made: function pmc_breadcrumb($title = false) { global $pmc_data; $breadcrumb = ”; if (!is_home()) { if($title == false){ $breadcrumb .= … Read more
Use get_the_terms to fetch the post’s term, then use get_ancestors to get an array of that term’s parent IDs. $tax = ‘category’; $terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), $tax ); if( $terms && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ){ // check for and output any ancestors $ancestors = array_reverse(get_ancestors( $terms[0]->term_id, $tax )); if( $ancestors ){ foreach( $ancestors as … Read more
The wp_get_nav_menu_items function will give you an array of menu item objects for a given menu. These objects contain a mixture of data specific to that unique menu item, as well as the post/page/link data the menu item refers to. You can use this array of menu items to find the current page, and then … Read more
You can get the post type object and check its properties. For example: $post_type = get_post_type_object( ‘books’ ); if( $post_type->exclude_from_search ) { // The post type is not included in search results } if( $post_type->has_archive ) { // The post type has archive } As far I know, custom post types are not included in … Read more
I wouldn’t consider this any better/worse than Kaiser’s option, but just different. Why not use get_category_parents on the parent category and then (optionally) append the current category? I haven’t tested this, but something like the following should work: $cat_id=7;//current category’s ID (e.g. 7) $separator=”»”;//The separator to use $category = get_category($cat_id);//$category is the current category object … Read more
What you are looking for is called pretty permalink. You can set it in the WordPress’s settings. Head over to Settings > Permalinks. You will notice there are couple of options in the Common Settings section. What you want is a custom structure that isn’t available in the list. You have to add it yourself. … Read more
On StackOverflow user indextwo suggests to do the following: Use the get_taxonomy( $taxonomy-slug ) function which returns an object that contains all the associated post types. As suggested in the comments, we can then use get_post_type_object( $post-type-slug ) to get the object and Singular Label. $post_type_names = array(); // Array( ‘post-type-slug’ => ‘Post Type Label’ … Read more
The wp_list_pages() function will generate a hierarchical list of pages for you.
Yoast does have a filter for you to use. See here: https://gist.github.com/jmcclellan/b2d97ffee0e924e28fa1 I used this to add “parent” pages to custom post types. We wanted to use pages as our category landers w/ custom post types as children. Yoast would not output the parent page slug by default since there is technically no real relationship, … Read more
