[Solved] Disable Breadcrumbs

Post by KitchM »

This is likely very simple, but I cannot find out how to turn-off or disable breadcrumbs.

Thanks.

Look in your template and delete something like this example breadcrumbs line:

Code: Select all

  <p class="breadcrumb">{breadcrumbs root='Home' delimiter='&raquo;'}</p>
That's the old way of doing it, so it depends on how old your template is. Newer ways:

Thanks, Paul. Here is what I found:
{* Start Breadcrumbs *}
* <div class="crbk">
{* holds the right image, we need 2 divs to be able to make this site fluid, if it was fixed width we could use one div, one image *}

* <div class="breadcrumbs">
* {cms_breadcrumbs root='Home'}
* <hr class="accessibility" />
* </div>
* </div>
{* End Breadcrumbs *}

I tried to remark out those sections but found no change to the page. Even after flushing the cache in CMSMS and reloading the page in the browser.

Maybe I'm referring to the wrong part of the page. I see something like this at the bottom of my content on every page:

Next page: About Us

But also I see something like this:

Home
About US
Organization
Calendar
NEO
Links
News
Political
Endorsements
Political News
Forum

With a top horizontal menu, none of the rest is necessary, and I'd just like to remove it.

Looks like you are along the right lines there. Not sure what the * are at the beginning of some lines.

I would just delete the section you quoted.

Are you sure you are editing the right template(s)? Good way to check is just temporarily putting some text like "HELLO" in there and making sure the text appears in the live site. (And then deleting it, of course).

I'm an idiot. Wrong comment marks. Oops.
