You Are Here…. Why?

[boldplan]

I'm having trouble with a third party Genesis theme that isn't allowing me to remove the "You Are Here" prefix that is added with Genesis themes. I'm guessing some funky control panel work they built in might be interfering with a function addition that should work if added into the functions.php. This leads me to the question regarding this and some other "preconfigured" things in Genesis.... Why would you want to put any prefix in as default? I like the option to add it but in the future, could you guys have it removed so I don't have to add another function to remove it every time? I can't remember the last Genesis theme I used which had a prefix... or even remember any. Just a thought...

Hi,

At first I though this was going to be a heavy question about our very existence and motivations.
But code is easier. 🙂

re: breadcrumbs - Can you not change it with a piece of the third snippet from http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/breadcrumbs/ ?

//* Modify breadcrumb arguments.
add_filter( 'genesis_breadcrumb_args', 'sp_breadcrumb_args' );
function sp_breadcrumb_args( $args ) {
	$args['labels']['prefix'] = '';
return $args;
}

Or, if you are running into 3rd-party theme issues, can you share the theme specifics? Have you contacted the author?

For the greater question of why "You Are Here", I suspect the text selection is just a general StudioPress choice for their themes; and it's featured in all of them, giving an indication of what the (breadcrumb) links represent. Other authors don't seem to feature it at all (e.g. zigzagpress). Any design can use any text so ...

Maybe StudioPress should offer a user-input option: select "no text", or enter the breadcrumb intro text (max "x" characters).

Contacted the author. Went through a couple of rounds of "first level support" to explain that it's not a css issue, not a control panel issue, etc. They are contacting "the programmers" to figure out why it's not removing that portion.

I always thought something like this would be in the standard Genesis control panel, as would be the footer placements which probably make it very tough for amateurs to do something as simple as editing the footer entries and links.

Themes are "just files", right? So this has to be somewhere you can poke your nose into, be it PHP or JS.

Still intrigued. Staying tuned-in. Popcorn popping.
