@ Nakusya & @Riz: the choice for the category is fairly random, as WordPress has no way to “show” which category is #1.

@Silver Firefly: buy the latest StudioPress theme and see I coded breadcrumbs into that one (by using some of the code in my breadcrumbs plugin and attaching that as a library into the theme, so no plugin you have to activate)

I agree with silver firefly – it would be great if someone could show us how to avoid using plugins. The yoast one is unpredictable and response to queries non existent

It’s all very well using a plugin but how do you add a breadcrumb to a theme without using plugins? That kind of information would be more useful to theme designers.

Hi All,

I have been using Yoasts breadcrumbs, and its a great plugin, but I have a question which has been puzzling me for a few months and the support forums on wordpress.org havent been able to help, so I am hoping one of you may be able to

The question is – If I have a post with multiple parent categories, how does Yoast breadcrumbs decide which path to display? If there are multiple parents there must be multiple paths and I need to predict which one Yoas breadcrumbs will display.

I would really appreciate someones help on this

Kind regards

Naskuya

@ Samsara – Thanks for the kind words. Things like that help keep me motivated to keep writing!

Yes, the JBJ post is great as well. Generally speaking I prefer to have functionality built into the theme instead of using plugins, but I have a built a strong trust for Joost’s plugins.

I'm in process of moving my blog and breadcrumb navigation is mandatory for any theme i am looking at. I am not getting paid to mention the following free themes I am currently testing: Options by Justin Tadlock & Arthemia by Michael Jubel *Arthemia, however is kind of lacking in the navigation department - and I was looking for a hack. [I am moving my blog to a new domain so going to see the fruits at my current blog is pointless.] The weakness of Arthemia's navigation, when one looks at Options' is the following. Options --> Browse: Home / Samsara / Autobiography Arthemia --> Home / Autobiography Options, therefore, makes good use of breadcrumbs. My vote is definitely for a move to breadcrumbs standard. Thanks to the Yoast Plugin until this happens. I think I am going to try that before I hack up a theme I am unsure I am keeping. Although I think JBJ's post of making breadcrumbs manually may be worth a read for folks sure of their theme. PS. I really like this site. For so much information, the navigation is very easy. And of course, thank you for all the information you provide.
