Breadcrumbs are often generated from Page structure, but in a world of Custom Post Types that doesn’t always work. Menu Breadcrumb uses your WordPress Menu to generate a breadcrumb trail based on the current page.
- Download
menu-breadcrumb.zipand extract - Upload the
menu-breadcrumbfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Place
<?php if ( function_exists( 'menu_breadcrumb') ) { menu_breadcrumb( 'my-menu-id' ); } ?>in your templates where you want the breadcrumb to appear
Add the following to your theme template where you would like to output the breadcrumb:
<?php
if ( function_exists( 'menu_breadcrumb') ) {
menu_breadcrumb(
'main', // Menu Location to use for breadcrumb
' » ', // separator between each breadcrumb
'<p class="menu-breadcrumb">', // output before the breadcrumb
'</p>' // output after the breadcrumb
);
}
?>
