Blizna,
I used your code in order to get the sub-categories. I am trying to place the results within a div tag in order to style it, but no matter what I try my closing tag ends somewhere else.

Any ideas as to how to add an html tag to this code? Thanks

Hi @Tony

if (!function_exists('fb_breadcrumb_nav')) {
	function fb_breadcrumb_nav() {
		if ( !is_home() || !is_front_page() ) {
			global $post;
			_e(' ') . bloginfo('name') . _e(' » ');
			if ( is_category() ) {
				single_cat_title();
				//the_category(', ');
			} elseif ( is_single() ) {
					the_category(', ') . _e(' » ') . the_title() . _e('');
			} elseif ( is_page() && $post->post_parent ) {
				_e( get_the_title($post->post_parent) );
				_e(' » ');
				_e( the_title() .'');
			} elseif ( is_page() ) {
				_e( the_title() . '');			
			} elseif ( is_search() ) {
				_e('Suche nach: ') . the_search_query() . _e('');
			}
		}
	}
}

It doesn't displays all the categories that the post belong to! I have a post that belong to one sub category, when I enter the best it should displays something like this:

Home page > Main category > Sub category > post title

but it only displays:

Home page > Sub category > post title

@Al

A slight modification to the is_page() & $post->parent condition can do that. Instead of using $post->parent, use $post->ancestor.

replace ...

elseif (is_page() && $post->post_parent ) {
_e( get_the_title($post->post_parent) );
_e(' » ');
_e( the_title() );
}

with ...

elseif (is_page() && count($post->ancestors) > 0 ) {

for ($i = count($post->ancestors)-1; $i>=0; $i--) {

_e( get_the_title($post->post_ancestors[$i]) );
_e(' » ');

}

_e( the_title() ) . _e( '');

}

That should work. The principle is to use the array of ancestors you get through $post->ancestors and iterate through that.

Thanks heaps, working well although I'm trying to modify it a bit to go another level deeper (on pages) and also grab the url's of the parent/grandparent pages.
