Breadcrumbs Widget for Elementor Pro

Show visitors where they are with a breadcrumb trail.

Overview

What Breadcrumbs does

Breadcrumbs builds a trail for the page being viewed: pages with their parent pages, posts with their category or tag, archives, search results, author and date pages, and WooCommerce products. It can also add BreadcrumbList structured data for search engines. Place it in a header, page title area or single post template.

Setup

How to set it up

A few steps from adding the widget to a finished result.

  1. Add the Breadcrumbs widget to a header, page title section or single template.

  2. Keep Home Link on and set Home Text and Home Icon. Leave Home Text empty to show only the icon.

  3. Choose what posts show with On Posts Show: The Category, The First Tag or Nothing.

  4. Pick a Separator type, then set Separator Icon or Separator Text.

  5. Decide on Current Page and, for long titles, Current Page Length (words).

  6. Leave Add Data for Search Engines on, unless your SEO plugin already adds breadcrumb data.

  7. Style alignment, colors and spacing in the Style tab.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. Products show the shop page and their product category, and product category pages show the shop page first.

Why is nothing shown on my home page?

Hide on the Front Page is on by default. Switch it off to show the home item there.

Will Google see the breadcrumbs?

With Add Data for Search Engines on, the widget prints BreadcrumbList structured data whenever the trail has more than one item.

Can developers change the trail?

Yes. The trail passes through the bapro_breadcrumbs_trail filter before it is shown.
