Replacing class-breadcrumbs.php via child theme to get rid of "You..here"-prefix

Hi!

We use Enfold V4.6.3.1 as a child theme at a testsite at a subdomain to circumvent the need to repeat changes to the breadcrumbs trail to get rid of the “You are here:”-prefix in future releases of Enfold.

So I downloaded the class-breadcrumbs.php file from the actual parent theme folder, made the changes replacing the string ‘You are here:’ with ‘ ‘ in line 26:

echo '<p class="breadcrumb"><span class="breadcrumb_info">'.__(' ','avia_framework').'</span> <a href="'.get_bloginfo('url').'">';

and in line 186:

before' => '<span class="breadcrumb-title">' . __( ' ', 'avia_framework' ) . '</span>'

I then uploaded the new file to my Enfold-child folder with the same name and corresponding dir path (“/wp-content/themes/enfold-child/framework/php”) to the parent theme folder to override the parent theme behaviour.

I then changed the functions.php-file of the child theme to add this filter as advised in an older forum post I found at kriesi.at:

<?php

/*
* Add your own functions here. You can also copy some of the theme functions into this file. 
* WordPress will use those functions instead of the original functions then.
*/

/* XXXXXXXX change made according to:
 * https://kriesi.at/support/topic/replace-class-breadcrumbs-php-in-child-theme/
*/

add_filter('avia_breadcrumbs_args', 'avia_change_bc_truncate', 50, 1);

function avia_change_bc_truncate($args){
    $args['truncate'] = 30;
    return $args;
}

However, after uploading the class-breadcrumb.php file, clearing caches and reloading the site (Strg&F5) repeatedly in different browsers (Firefox, Chrome) the changes I made are not showing at all, the nasty “You are here”-prefix is still there.

I’ve seen in the forum, that other people have similar problems with the breadcrumbs-class, if this is the case, what’s the point in using a child theme ?

Kind regards,
Guuu
