Breadcrumb navigation is a visual representation of where you are in the site . A common format Home | Category | Article . This will emphasize quick navigation for visitors on a WordPress Blog . Fortunately for us Breadcrumb NavXT is a WordPress plugin compatible with WordPress versions 3.0 and up .
Just to mention WordPress.com (free version ) doesn’t support the ability to add plugins on your Blog , you have to pay for this service . In contrast , an WordPress installation on a Hosted server has the freedom to customize the application .
Enabling the Breadcrumb navigation is really simple :
- Just install the plugin on your WordPress installation
- Manually : Download the zip file -> unzip -> Copy the folder to your server’s WordPress installation -> WordPress_Root_Dir\wp-content\plugins
- Automatically : Admin panel -> plugins ->Add new -> Upload -> navigate to the zip file
- Activate the plugin : Admin panel -> plugins -> Select this plugin from the list and activate
- Customize the plugin : Admin panel -> Settings -> Breadcrumb NavXT
- Some WordPress Themes will display the Breadcrumb automatically , some other need an extra configuration . Open with your favorite text-editor the following file :Wordpress_Root->wp-content->Theme_Name_Folder -> header.php
and paste the following code
<div class="breadcrumbs"></div>
<pre>
<?php
if(function_exists('bcn_display'))
{
bcn_display();
}
?>
</div>
