[Resolved] Breadcrumb styling issue

[sipahi]

Hello,

As you will see in the link I provided (only admins can see), I am using excerpt under title (I’m telling this just to let you know)

I added yoast breadcrumb following this tutorial https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-breadcrumbs/

I also searched the forum and tried to style breadcrumb using .breadcrumbs

It has no effect as you will see (!important also have no effect).

what am I missing?

This is what I’m using to try if .breadcrumbs work.

.breadcrumbs {
    background-color: #e6e6e6!important;
}

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

The Yoast Shortcode no longer outputs any classes.
Can you try wrapping the shortcode in a <div> like so:

<div class="breadcrumbs">Place shortcode here</div>

Then you can style the .breadcrumbs class

You’re the best!

Where should the DIV be placed? At the moment i have this code in a elemnt:

<?php
if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
  yoast_breadcrumb( '<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>' );
}
?>

Hi there,

we updated the Doc to include the <div> :

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-breadcrumbs/#using-functions

So I have this, like your docu says:

<?php
if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
  yoast_breadcrumb( '<div class="grid-container grid-parent"><p id="breadcrumbs">','</p></div>' );
}
?>

but cannot style bradcrumbs via this. Nothing happens:

/* breadcrumb */
.breadcrumbs {
    font-size: 8px;
}

You’re CSS would need to be this:

/* breadcrumb */
#breadcrumbs {
    font-size: 8px;
}

Thank you very much. I was proud to know some css, but this was apparently not the case.

You’re welcome
The only mistake was we needed to select the element using its ID.
And IDs start with a # instead of a .

🙂 Thanks for explaining this!

You’re welcome
