Breadcrumb Trail

Breadcrumb Trail is one of the most advanced and robust breadcrumb menu systems available for WordPress. It started out as a small script for basic blogs but has grown into a system that can handle nearly any site’s setup to show the most accurate breadcrumbs for each page. Before using Please note that Breadcrumb Trail requires that you understand and know how to edit your theme’s PHP code, at least to the extent of copying and pasting one line of code. If you’re not comfortable doing this, it’s best to ask that your theme author integrate the code necessary to support this plugin. How it works This plugin automatically detects your permalink setup and displays breadcrumbs based off that structure. Nearly all sites have some sort of hierarchy. Breadcrumb Trail recognizes that and builds a set of unique breadcrumbs for each page on your site. This means that it can also detect custom post types and taxonomies right out of the box. Whatever you throw at it, it’s got a solution. Features Auto-detects the permalink structure of your site for the most accurate breadcrumbs. Hooks for plugin/theme developers to overwrite output. Coded with object-oriented programming (OOP) methods to allow developers to extend it for those highly-custom setups. Properly handles nearly any custom post type or taxonomy. Professional support If you need professional plugin support from me, the plugin author, you can join the club at Theme Hybrid, which is a professional WordPress help/support site where I handle support for all my plugins and themes for a community of 75,000+ users (and growing). Plugin Development If you’re a theme author, plugin author, or just a code hobbyist, you can follow the development of this plugin on it’s GitHub repository. Donations Yes, I do accept donations. If you want to donate, you can do so from my donations page or grab me something from my Amazon Wish List. I appreciate all donations, no matter the size. Further development of this plugin is not contingent on donations, but they are always a nice incentive.

Breadcrumbs for WooCommerce

Breadcrumbs for WooCommerce is a simple WordPress plugin that helps you restyle the WooCommerce breadcrumbs. It also gives you the ability to disable them completely so they no longer display. By changing the HTML surrounding your breadcrumbs, you’re able to provide better options for styling your breadcrumbs in different ways. For example, the default breadcrumbs simply display links with a separator character. Using Breadcrumbs for WooCommerce, you can change them to display as an unsorted list of links instead. NOTE: This plugin wont actually style your breadcrumbs for you. It simply gives you the tools to change the HTML that wraps around your breadcrumbs. Breadcrumbs for WooCommerce gives you the following settings Breadcrumb separator: This is the separator to use between each breadcrumb Wrap before: The opening HTML tag to wrap before all your breadcrumbs Wrap after: The closing HTML tag to wrap after all your breadcrumbs Before: The opening HTML tag to wrap before each individual breadcrumb After: The closing HTML tag to wrap after each individual breadcrumb Home text: The text to use for the ‘Home’ breadcrumb Home URL: The URL that the ‘Home’ breadcrumb links to If need be, you can also disable the breadcrumbs completely by unticking the ‘Enable breadcrumbs’ checkbox. This will stop the breadcrumbs from displaying on your site. If you notice there are a few less breadcrumb options on the settings page than you expected, then you’re mostly likely using a WooThemes Theme. WooTheme themes disable the WooCommerce breadcrumbs in favour of the WooFramework Breadcrumbs. The downside to this is that there aren’t quite as many options that can be changed with the WooFramework Breadcrumbs. To see some examples of how you can style your WooCommerce Breadcrumbs, check out the plugin homepage.
