Breadcrumbs not displaying correctly

[Kim]

Sorry in advance if this is not the correct forum but I am not being given the option to post in the Event Calendar Pro forum.

I am having 2 issues with my breadcrumbs. First, if I want a sidebar on my event pages I have to chose the “default page template” setting because the “default event template” doesn’t give an option for a sidebar. However, when I do this is when I get the white box displaying over my breadcrumbs. Example: http://www.wingsmuseum.org/wingsnew/event/senior-day/2016-11-01/

If I chose “default event template” then the I don’t have an issue. Please help me fix this. I want to be able to see my calendar plus have a side bar widget of upcoming events but I can’t have the breadcrumbs being blocked off like this. Or tell me how to add a sidebar to the default event template.

Second, the main calendar page breadcrumb being displayed as “page” rather than “eventcalendar” which is the slug set for it. http://www.wingsmuseum.org/wingsnew/eventcalendar/

How do I change this? Again, it displays fine when I chose “default event template” but since there is no option for also having a sidebar then I am forced to use “default page template” which is where the display issues occur.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Howdy Kim,

It would be my pleasure to help clarify this up.

First of all, the reason you can not post in Events Calendar Pro is because your only license is a non-profit one. As you know we have given the license away for free, and in the agreement you made the license is unsupported. We can not provide support beyond the WordPress.org: The Events Calendar forums.

But that’s probably not going to inhibit you here! The reason I say that is the questions you are asking would best be answered by whoever makes your breadcrumb. Typically it is your theme or a third party plugin. WordPress itself does not show or contain breadcrumbs like the one you mentioned, because the information WordPress contains is not hierarchical. Unfortunately this means anything which does try to provide a breadcrumb, such as a plugin or theme, will often face problems. Fortunately because they so often face problems they are usually very accustomed to helping people sort them out!

In your case you are trying to adding a “WordPress Custom Post Type Archive Page” to the breadcrumb. The calendar page is just such a page, and so any advice they can give you for integrating a run of the mill WordPress archive page will apply. If I were you I would mention that it works better when you use the Event Template, because that might clue them in on why the theme’s Page template is behaving unexpectedly.

We would love to help you further as much as we can. If you do end up wanting access to the premium forums and the support there in, you might consider purchasing a supported license for Events Calendar Pro and we can dive into more detail.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!
