Me again! Good news – I found this post https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/showing-events-and-venues-in-breadcrumbs/ and tweaked it a bit and it’s working just the way I want it to! So, we can mark this issue solved. Yay!

Thanks – I’m sure it’s possible to modify a breadcrumb plugin to appear on the main events page. I’ve seen in other threads on this forum that it’s been done. But! It’s going to take me a while. I’m barely proficient at php.

So if anyone out there has any advice, I’d be grateful for it. IMHO, breadcrumb navigation is a necessity.

And I’ll have a look at Hansel & Gretel – thanks for the tip!

Hi Barry –
I fixed it on my own. I wasn’t registering the widgetized sidebars correctly in functions.php, which probably added an extra / in there somewhere and goofed up the dropdown menus.

It led to other errors, too, so I went to the Codex to double-check my code and figured it out. When I had the code straightened out, the Events dropdowns worked fine.

Many thanks for your quick replies!

Permalink setting is custom: /%category%/%postname%/

And no worries about the angle bracket issue – I’ll know for next time.

Here’s the code without comment-killing angle brackets:

ecp-page-template.php calls the sidebar like this: php get_sidebar(‘events’); ,

and sidebar-events.php has this code: php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( ‘secondary’ ) ) : blah blah <?php endif; ,

and the secondary sidebar is registered in functions.php.

Works like a charm. Thanks, Jonah! I’m loving the plugin!
