I never knew about custom taxonomies but after reading about it more, it seems to be my best choice

anyways, thanks for your quick reply and help for pointing me in the right direction

Stephen,

You should only be using one Category hierarchy. With the existence of tags and custom taxonomies, a post should not be a member of multiple category hierarchies. In the event that a post is part of multiple hierarchies, Breadcrumb NavXT will pick the first category hierarchy it finds. Since WordPress returns these in the order of creation (not necessarily alphabetically), it may appear to be picking them alphabetically.

There is a way to exclude category hierarchies from ever being in a breadcrumb trail (bad idea as you should use a custom taxonomy for it, but regardless) see Keep a Page Out of the Breadcrumb Trail guide, and the comment section below it. They should be of some help (granted that you are familiar with PHP).

Spunky,

If you use the proper container and CSS class/id, Google can figure out what is a breadcrumb trail and won’t dock you for repeated content. Plus, if your title is short (less than 10 words), and you have substantial content (more than 200 words), then the duplicate content on the page with 3 repeats of the title is not enough to negatively affect your page rank. I don’t know why you are ending each article with its title, but what ever.

Since breadcrumb trails should contain the full path (virtual or real) to the current location, including the current location, Breadcrumb NavXT won’t add such an option in the immediate future (next release or two).

great plugin but I have a small problem

If I give a post more than 1 category, Breadcrumb NavXT uses the alphabetically first category. But how do I change it so that it always ignore a particular category and its children categories when listing the breadcrumbs?

I am wondering if you would add a function that would allow the user to toggle on/off the post title. On my SEO blog, I start with the article title and end it with the title as well. Now, that I have your plugin working again, I have the title repeated three times and that might be a bit much.

I could get my coder to modify your plugin. However, when there is an update I would have to have him modify it all over again.

The plugin works great for me and people click on the categories in the breadcrumb bar. I have noticed an increase of page hits.

John, I was in the firm believe that I was on PHP5, but having a closer look at things it appears that the database version is 5.0 (whatever that means) but otherwise it looks like PHP5 has not been activated yet. I just set up this new site on GoDaddy under my existing shared hosting account which I have had for a few years.

Sorry for marking it as broken. I will give it another go after I sorted out the PHP situation I’ll give it another vote.

Thank you for your help!
