thanks so much for taking a look!
i popped in the code you suggested (changing the slugs of course) however am still seeing the current page title in my breadcrumbs. as a test, i went back to bill's original code and created a simple page. here too the current page title is showing up. is there any reason his code wouldnt be working on my site?
design_agencyMemberthanks for taking a look.
after popping in your code (and modifying the cpt slug) im still getting the current page in the breadcrumb string. i then messed around with some other conditionals with the same result.
as a test, i created a regular page and went back to bill's original bit of code. there too, it didnt work. i use dynamik website builder as a theme but otherwise a fairly modest development environment... anything come to mind that would prevent this code from working?
thanks for your time.
design_agencyMemberamazing. thank you!
design_agencyMemberi did some more reading and that makes perfect sense, thanks for the follow up.
i did use wp-types to create the CPT and figured out how to get the urls to display correctly, but those url's aren't being reflected in the breadcrumbs. i reached out to the wp-types support team and they say it's a genesis problem: "As I can see "Breadcrumbs" set using genesis theme settings and may require studying what code genesis used to display breadcrumbs and unfortunately that is totally beyond the scope of our support policy."
so, im in a bit of a pickle in that the slugs are displaying correctly, but the breadcrumbs aren't.
any advice on what to do next?
design_agencyMemberthanks for sending this along @braddalton
i imagine this goes into my functions.php file but i think it also needs to be wrapped in a function, yes? at best im a noob with php and what i've tried so far has crashed my local site. any nods in the right direction with how to properly insert this bit of code?
design_agencyMemberhi christoph, thanks for the idea!
i found one of sridhar's tutorials that did the trick. here it is should anyone else need the same fix:
https://sridharkatakam.com/replace-header-right-widget-area-conditionally-genesis/design_agencyMemberunbelievable, truly, works like a charm.
thanks porter... sending a beer your way!
design_agencyMemberwow!! totally works!
though now we've got the forward stroke still in there... grrrrrrrrrrr!design_agencyMemberthe page i originally sent along is definitely the longest, which is 4 levels deep including the top-level item that i'm trying to remove (in this case, "happenings").
otherwise, most pages are 2-3 levels deep, i'll be removing breadcrumbs from any pages that are less than that. did i get at what you were asking?
design_agencyMemberhay porter, thanks so much for taking a look!
i just popped in the code you sent along and, alas, it removed the whole line.
any other ideas?
design_agencyMemberfigured it out... just need this handy bit of code in the functions.php file:
function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) { return 900; } add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );
just replace the 900 with whatever length you'd like your excerpt to be.
design_agencyMemberwell drat!
thanks for thinking on that with me—will keep sleuthing out the issue and post back if i figure it out!
all the best,
emilydesign_agencyMemberhay dave, thanks for the tip!
i gave them both a go — the code changes weren't too daunting 😉 — though neither got rid of the nag. could this be because this is a notification that my license key has expired, and not an update notification? if so, is there a different approach that you know of?
thanks again for your advice,
emilydesign_agencyMemberhay david–
boy do i feel silly! what a simple solution... and it works like a charm.
thanks so much,
emilydesign_agencyMemberah ha!
*perfect*
thanks so much!
design_agencyMemberhey kellylise– thanks for your suggestion on this.. i finally figured out what was up! turns out it was a plugin afterall (d'oh).
design_agencyMembernope, i dont have that one on the site.
i've gone through the plugin run down and that entry meta is still not showing up!
design_agencyMemberthat put me on the right track — thanks so much!
design_agencyMemberah! thanks mm0233, you totally put me on the right track. it was simple sidebars for sure, it just took me a while to figure out where to hook the fix. all is working as it should!
design_agencyMemberchecking back in on this question as i've been racking my head trying to figure it out. im most confused since i tried unregistering the sidebar as a test in both functions.php file and archive-staff.php to no avail.
would very much appreciate a bump in the right direction... thanks!
