AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Breadcrumb Block is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Menu category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 14 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Breadcrumb Block works
Show full descriptionShow less
This is a single-block plugin for the breadcrumb trail. It’s simple, lightweight, SEO-friendly, and WooCommerce compatibility. It also includes some simple separator icons. It works everywhere: Page Editor, Site Editor, and template files.
How to customize the breadcrumb
How to change/remove an item?
add_filter( 'breadcrumb_block_get_item', function ( $item_args, $context, $breadcrumbs_instance ) { // Ignore items without context. if ( ! $context || ! ( $context['object'] ?? false ) ) { return $item_args; }
// Eg: remove a term. if ( 'term' === ( $context['type'] ?? '' ) && 'term-slug' === $context['object']->slug ) { return false; }
// Eg: Change the title of a page. if ( 'page' === ( $context['type'] ?? '' ) && page_id_to_change === $context['object']->ID ) { $item_args[0] = 'Make it shorter'; }
return $item_args; }, 10, 3 );
$item_args is a 3-item array: [$item_label, $item_link, $item_attrs]
$context is an associative array: ['type' => 'item type', 'object' => 'item object']. type can be one of the following values: front_page, home, shop, page, post, single, term, taxonomy, post_type_archive, search, 404, paged, author, date_year, date_month, date_day, attachment.
How to change the markup of the block?
add_filter( 'breadcrumb_block_get_breadcrumb_trail', function ( $markup, $args, $breadcrumbs_instance ) { return $markup; }, 10, 3 );
How to add or remove the items from the breadcrumb trail?
add_filter( 'breadcrumb_block_get_items', function ( $items, $breadcrumbs_instance ) { return $items; }, 10, 2 );
How to use a custom separator for the breadcrumb trail?
add_filter( 'breadcrumb_block_get_args', function ( $args ) { // For example, change separator. $args['separator'] = '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="currentColor" width="1em" height="1em" viewBox="0 0 16 16"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M3.646 1.646a.5.5 0 0 1 .708 0l6 6a.5.5 0 0 1 0 .708l-6 6a.5.5 0 0 1-.708-.708L9.293 8 3.646 2.354a.5.5 0 0 1 0-.708z"/><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M7.646 1.646a.5.5 0 0 1 .708 0l6 6a.5.5 0 0 1 0 .708l-6 6a.5.5 0 0 1-.708-.708L13.293 8 7.646 2.354a.5.5 0 0 1 0-.708z"/></svg>'; return $args; } );
The custom separator should be an inline SVG. To make sure it displays properly, it should have three attributes: width, height, and fill. The values of these attributes should be as follows: fill="currentColor" width="1em" height="1em".
Using this hook, you can customize other attributes such as container, before, after, list_tag, item_tag, item_before, item_after, separator.
How to prepend the blog page to all single posts?
add_action( 'breadcrumb_block_single_prepend', function ( $post, $breadcrumbs_instance ) { if ( 'post' === $post->post_type ) { $blog_id = get_option( 'page_for_posts'); if ( $blog_id ) { $breadcrumbs_instance->add_item( get_the_title( $blog_id ), get_permalink( $blog_id ) ); } } }, 10, 2 );
