How to change single.php parent?

Hello,

I've completed the how to create wordpress theme section and I don't know how to deal with breadcrumb path.

When I go into single-work.php and install yoast breadcrumb plugin, the path will show : home >> blog >> name-of-the-post. Then when I click the blog, it will direct me to blog post (which I don't want and doesn't make sense). My question is how to make the path to be home >> work >> name-of-the-post?

I've tried anything to no avail. Please help.

Thanks in advance :)

There's is a solution but she is too dirty and longer so I'll not prononce it.

But why did you don't simply rename "Blog" to "Work" in your website ?

Fixed this by using Breadcrumb NavXT plugin. This will let you be able to specify root page for your custom post type.

Like I said above, if I changed blog to work, it just affects the naming but still get directed to blog page. I want it to become "work" page. Anything I can do with this?

Awh then, sorry I didn't really understood. But If what I've understood is good, you want to use another template file especially for the single-work.php ? Then add this to the top of single-work.php : 

<?php
/*
Template Name: Work Article
*/

If I'm totally out, then I'm sorry for losing your time. :c

I did that to call the template on my "work" page and create single-work.php file but for some reason the plugin doesn't recognize single-work.php as the child of work.php? Am I explaining correctly?

Anyway, thanks man for taking time to answer my question. Is there anyone can help me with this?
