Add Breadcrumbs to your WordPress Blog

Written by Kevin Muldoon from System0 on August 20, 2008

The ever resourceful Joost de Valk has released a great little plugin for WordPress which automatically adds breadcrumbs to your blog. Breadcrumbs are those handy navigational links which you find at the top of many sites and forums. They make your blog more user friendly and help search engines map your blog more easily.

Heres an example of the breadcrumb the plugin added to the BT Simplicity Theme page :

Since the if statement for the plugin needs to be hard coded into your blog template, you can place the breadcrumbs anywhere in your blog design. As you can see from the screenshot below, it’s incredibly easy to change how the breadcrumb is displayed too.

Regular readers will know that this is the type of plugin I love : practical, quick to install and easy to modify. WordPress bloggers should definately check it out

I added the plugin to one of my blogs. But everytime the kontera ad links started showing on the navigation links. I think the kontera code was not placed correctly then.. By the way, thanks for the post..
