  I have a widget that is interfering with my breadcrumb in that it is causing my breadcrumb to show a path as if it were from a different page. An example, it should be getting the post id from the URL but instead it is hard coded to post_id=4. I noticed that when I changed post_id in my widget, the breadcrumb then reflected that change. I have pasted the code from my widget and from my breadcrumb below. Any ideas on how I can make sure the to do not interfere with one another?

  //**Widget**//
  function load_quick_search()
  {
  register_widget( ‘quick_search’ );
  }
  class quick_search extends WP_Widget
  {
  function quick_search()
  {
  $widget_ops = array( ‘classname’ => ‘quick_search’, ‘description’ => __(‘A box for searches’, ‘quick_search’) );
  $control_ops = array( ‘width’ => 300, ‘height’ => 350, ‘id_base’ => ‘quick_search’ );
  $this->WP_Widget( ‘quick_search’, __(‘Quick Search’, ‘quick_search’), $widget_ops, $control_ops );
  }
  function widget( $args, $instance )
  {
  extract( $args );
  echo $before_widget;

  echo ‘<div class=”qsearch”><p>Career Search:</p>’;
  $my_query = new WP_Query(‘post_type=page&post_parent=4’);
  echo ‘<select id=”searchchoice”><option>Search Category</option>’;

  ?>
  <?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
  <option value=”<?php the_permalink() ?>”><?php the_title() ?></option> ‘;

  <?php endwhile;
  echo ‘</select>’;
  echo ‘GO</div>’;
  ?>
  //**end widget**//

  //**breadcrumb**//

  $my_query = new WP_Query(‘post_type=page&post_parent=20’);
  $parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
  echo ‘<div class=”breadcrumb”><a href=”‘;
  echo get_option(‘home’);
  echo ‘”>Home’;

  echo ” » “;
  if(is_page() && $post->post_parent){
  echo (‘post_parent)
  . ‘” title=”‘ . $parent_title . ‘”>’ . $parent_title
  . ‘ » ‘); }

  //**end breadcrumb**//

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
