Thank you for looking into this. By the way your Flexform demo site is working perfectly! So maybe, just maybe it is a plugin conflict?… checking …. NOPE that’s not it.

The website in question has been launched so the new url is: http://www.magnoliadds.com

Melanie,
I tried to explain what was “not working” with my Breadcrumbs in my Flexform theme above in 6), sorry I wasn’t more clear. Please try to reply sooner that took 5 days to hear back. Here is my site http://magnoliadds.com/staging/our-mission/.

THE PROBLEM WITH BREADCRUMBS
NavXT comes with Flexform as a way to show Breadcrumbs. However, Ed on ThemeForest forum said to disable NavXT and run my Yoast SEO plugin for Breadcrumbs. I did and that helped but the problem of not seeing the “path of previous pages visited” still exists. The Breadcrumb feature is only showing the current page after the Home page, which makes it useless for useres, since you can see up top what page you are on. Please take a look at the site. I need the “path” of pages to show in the Breadcrumbs.

MY SET UP
In the Yoast SEO setting under “Internal Links” there is an option to “Enable Breadcrumbs”. This is checked. I also checked the “Bold the last page in the breadcrumb” so you can see that is working. I also added a Prefix to the Breadcrumb path “Back To” and that is working. But there appears to be no option to show “Pages” under “Taxonomy to show in breadcrumbs”. So it looks like this “Go To Home >> Our Mission. After I leave Our Mission page, it does NOT show “Mission” anymore, just the next page. So the breadcrumb “path” as you move from page to page is not working.

Do you know what is wrong with my set up? Which plugin should I use? I have tried flipping it so NavXT is enabled and Yoast SEO is not. That didn’t work. I have tried to reach out to Yoast SEO still waiting.

Thanks for your help on my Breadcrumb problem.

Hi Ed,

Oddly, I did use your Pre-set Child theme to build mine. I added it to the post above? I did remove a few items that WordPress says is not needed. It looked like this when I was done. Is this OK? Is anything missing from the Child Theme?

/*
Theme Name: Flexform Child Theme
URI: http://magnoliadds.com/
Description: Child Theme for Magnolia Family Dentistry
Template: flexform Version: 1.0
Author: Bart Price – Works of Bart Design
Author URI: http://www.worksofbart.com
*/

@import url(”../flexform/style.css”);

((( I PLACED CODE HERE, NO DOTTED LINES, NO /* */, JUST THE CODE )))

I created a folder called “flexformchild” and placed the style.css file and and a functions.js file to speed up the testimonial slider inside. I added the folder to my FTP here: web/content/staging/wp-content/themes/. It did not work, in fact after I activated the Child it made my pages go every which way, all the content was messed up!

It appears after reading a few posts here on Swift Ideas that Child themes are having issues on your Flexform theme. I’m running FlexForm 1.5.3 (about to update to 1.6). Could the older theme be the problem? So anyway, I will have to revisit this later when I have more time. I have made the changes manually for now.

And thanks for getting those questions answered on the ThemeForest forum, still need to know about the RED yelp button the code it not working.

Let me know if the Child theme above looks OK to you. – Bart

Hi Melanie,

My breadcrumb feature is not working properly. Here’s what I have done:

1) The website:
2) Running your FlexForm theme 1.5.3 (about to update to 1.6)
3) Plugin NavXT came with FlexForm theme so I activated it
4) Also have Yoast SEO downloaded and I activated breadcrumbs from inside this plugin. Yoast SEO provides a php piece of code to “add to your theme”. It doesn’t say where! Here is the CODE Yoast provides: <?php if ( function_exists(‘yoast_breadcrumb’) ) {
yoast_breadcrumb(‘<p id=”breadcrumbs”>’,'</p>’);
} ?>
5) I have tried adding this code to both the header and page.php files. It did not work. The code shows up at the top of the page but the breadcrumb is up there too along with the another version of it belwo the header!
6) The only thing that is kinda working as you can see here http://magnoliadds.com/staging/ is the Prefix “Go To”, then the “Home”, and then whatever page I am on. So it looks like this “To To Home >> Our Mission. After I leave Our Misson page, it does NOT show “Mission” anymore, just the next page. So the breadcrumb trail as you move from page to page is not working.

Do you know what is wrong with my set up? Should I activate NavXT and deactivate Yoast SEO? Can both be active?

Thanks for any help, this has got me stumped. – Bart

Hi Ed, I can’t seem get FlexForm to see my Child Theme. i can make the code changes via FireBug but they don’t show up when I add the style.css, header.php and function.js files to my Child folder. It’s like invisable! Here is what i did –

a) I created a folder called “flexfomchild” no spaces
b) I added the info below. I included some of the code here for you to see to give the Parallax viewer more padding. It did not effect it.

/*
Theme Name: Flexform Child Theme
URI: http://magnoliadds.com/
Description: Child Theme for Magnolia Family Dentistry
Template: flexform Version: 1.0
Author: Bart Price – Works of Bart Design
Author URI: http://www.worksofbart.com
*/

@import url(”../flexform/style.css”);

—-—- PARALLAX WINDOW – Increased padding top and bottom from 80 to 120 – from style.css line 5582 -—-—-—

.spb_parallax_asset {
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
box-shadow: 0 0 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) inset;
overflow: hidden;
padding-bottom: 120px;
padding-top: 120px; }

c) I also added a header.php file for breadcrumbs using this code from Yoast SEO. I turned on the breadcrumbs in SEO. It did not work. Should this be added to the page.php file?

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

d) Also for the functions.js file I added this code to I increase the speed of the testimonial slider: slideshowSpeed: 10000,

But nothing is working. I have set up many other Child themes just like this one and they work perfectly. Is this a FlexForm issue. Is it “necessary to edit the parent theme…” as Melanie suggests above?

That would be a major problem for me and a real time consuming task everytime I update the theme. This seems like a no-brainer at this point with WordPress. What’s up?

Speaking to the slow load time for your FlexForm theme, please consider this: I’m not talking about the load time online. I’m experiencing EXTREMELY SLOW load times while working on the dashboard in WordPress! It has also crashed more than once (see attachment)

I sometimes have to wait up to 30 seconds or a minute for changes to load! This of course is unexceptable. I have not experienced this with other themes, or other hosts. My host for FlexForm is Laughing Squid, not a big player in the host world but qualified. I can only assume it is the layers of code you have added to this theme for “flexibility and ease of editing” for the masses or the host is having problems generating the revisions quickly. I have also ex

Please look into this problem as well as the fact that on mobile it is also SLOW.

Thanks. Bart
