Google webmaster breadcrumbs problems

[auntie_biotics]

Please forgive me if answer is already given but Im not at all au fait with phpbb3 code.
After using google webmaster on my site https://tbandu.uk/ I have the following message:

BREADCRUMBS
Error: Either "name" or "item.name" should be specified 33items
Error: Missing field "item" 28 items

This has been so since update.
I am using ALLAN-STYLE SUBSILVER

My questions is: IS this the correct answer to set this right?
viewtopic.php?p=15401506#p15401506

or Is this the correct answer?
viewtopic.php?p=15405906#p15405906

or is it neither and do I need to do something else?

This is fixed and will be in the next version.

There are several topic on this subject.

[auntie_biotics]

Thx for your reply . You are right there are several topics on this. There are also several answers and that is why I asked in previous post which was the correct one.
I will however take your advice and await new version if no one points out correct answer.
I also suppose it will be best to remove site from google till new version available
Better not there at all than all my site pages in error

There are more and more people reporting the breadcrumbs issue. How soon until 3.3.1 is released to include this fix and stop the new topics on this issue?

A patch has been issued. https://github.com/marc1706/phpbb/commi ... 12d4b55d03

[auntie_biotics]

Thankyou so much for link to patch.
Im sorry but have never done any code on phpbb3 .

Do I just copy and paste the whole code into navbar file?

And will this work on other styles based on prosilver?
Thankyou in advance

No.

For ALLAN-STYLE SUBSILVER ask the authors of that style.

[auntie_biotics]

Thankyou I will switch to prosilver. I have been to github but cannot find instructions on what to do.
I am not sure do I copy and paste code into navbar file.?
I am very sorry if I am being a nuisance.

[stevemaury]

You should have the navbar_header.html file on your local computer. If not, download it from your phpBB installation. Open it in a good text editor ( Dreamweaver and Frontpage are not good choices when it comes to file editors (find out why). See Tools needed to set up and customise phpBB for suggestions. )

Delete the lines in red and add the lines in green. Save the file. Then, using FTP, rename the existing navbar_headr.html by adding a .bak extension. Then upload the file and purge the cache.

This should work on any prosilver based style, but test it.

EDIT - you are asking this in the 3.3. Support forum, but there is no Allan-style subsilver for 3.3.0. ???

[auntie_biotics]

Thankyou so much.

This is for PROSILVER of phpBB 3.3.0, same applies for 3.2.9

NOTE: it is different for 3.2.10 and 3.3.1

It has a taken a few days...Three in fact but after following the directions above, google now reports ALL pages are valid bar one.
That I can live with.
