Adding Breadcrumbs to Theme

Hi Kriss,

I also use Yoast. I think it would be easier and practical to make the yoast breadcrumb code (The code that you add) officially part of the theme instead of making a completely new breadcrumb system. I’ll just add it in the index.php. This way, you won’t have to add the code yourself every time the theme is updated.

If poss can you make it appear at the top of the pages rather then in-between the menu and the pages? Would make it look a lot neater. Although thinking about you have to add to every template wouldn’t you?

Now I’m a little reluctant to add it 🙂 I’m thinking most people would want to place it differently.

I think there may be a better solution for you if you don’t want to use a child theme. You could install this php widget plugin. A new widget called “PHP Code” will be available. It’s just similar to a normal text widget. You can place that anywhere you like then add this code:

<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
   yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>'); }
?>

You could place it on the “Before Content” sidebar which is on top of the post. Or you could place it on the “Post – Header” sidebar which is inside the post on top of the title.
