I'm using WooCommerce, I have Storefront theme applied and I have then created a childtheme of that which I can use to alter my site.
What I am trying to do is alter the final result in the breadcrumb shown on all pages to display the result in an <h2>
tag, rather than the standard <p>
tag it is currently in. So for example:
<p>Homepage > Page1 > Page2</p>
would end up becoming:
<p>Homepage > Page1 > </p><h2>Page2</h2>
I am a novice when it comes to altering childthemes on WordPress and have not been able to find any helpful answers online which is why I am asking for help here. I understand that the breadcrumbs.php file will need to be altered however I am unsure exactly what sections would need to be altered to allow for the changes I have proposed above. These changes are all essential for SEO purposes.
You can try rewrite breadcrumb.php in your theme, for example:
yourtheme/woocommerce/global/breadcrumb.php
And the code will be something like this:
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
exit;
}
if ( ! empty( $breadcrumb ) ) {
echo $wrap_before;
foreach ( $breadcrumb as $key => $crumb ) {
echo $before;
if ( ! empty( $crumb[1] ) && sizeof( $breadcrumb ) !== $key + 1 ) {
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( $crumb[1] ) . '">' . esc_html( $crumb[0] ) . '</a>';
} else {
echo '<h2 class="some-class">' . esc_html( $crumb[0] ) . '</h2>'; // edited here
}
echo $after;
if ( sizeof( $breadcrumb ) !== $key + 1 ) {
echo $delimiter;
}
}
echo $wrap_after;
}
