[Resolved] Category Breadcrumb at Bottom of Posts Shows Uncategorized If Not Logged In

[gpstart]

There is something peculiar happening with the category breadcrumb at the bottom of my posts. It always shows Uncategorized, if I’m NOT logged in. But, when I’m logged in, the proper category displays for the post.

Any idea why this might be?

Hi there,

are you using any page caching on the site ?

I didn’t install any cache plugins. But, my WP installation has this Purge Server Cache, which I did. I my browser cache was also cleared.

The issue still persists. I tried on Chrome and Firefox.

I’d also like to add that I tried logging in with a non-admin account and the issue is the same as if I wasn’t logged in. That is, with a non-admin account, I only see Uncategorized for the breadcrumb. And when I logout and login with my admin account, I see the proper category.

Need to check for code conflicts.

If you’re using a Child Theme or Code Snippets, disable those, and check the site.
If not, disable any plugins and again check the site.

I hate doing this, but, it did solve the issue. It’s the Wishlist Member plugin that’s causing the issue.

So, should I report this to them or is GeneratePress able to look into this?

Posted in error.

Check with the plugin author, and let us know what they say.

I submitted a video to Wishlist showing the issue. Basically if Wishlist is activated, then it makes the breadcrumb show Uncategorized and when it’s de-activated, the breadcrumb displays properly.

That is an odd one, the Theme uses core WP functions for displaying the terms, and we don’t intefere with permalinks so that plugin must be doing something special.

They fixed it. They changed some settings, and it displays properly now.

Thanks!

Glad to hear that!
