Thanks to the one-to-many plugins which are available over the web for adding a breadcrumb to your blog, BUT, what’s more if you can achieve the task by simply adding the following snippet. Simply paste the following code to your functions.php file and you are done.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 | function the_breadcrumb() { echo '<ul id="crumbs">'; if (!is_home()) { echo '<li><a href="'; echo get_option('home'); echo '">'; echo 'Home'; echo "</a></li>"; if (is_category() || is_single()) { echo '<li>'; the_category(' </li><li> '); if (is_single()) { echo "</li><li>"; the_title(); echo '</li>'; } } elseif (is_page()) { echo '<li>'; echo the_title(); echo '</li>'; } } elseif (is_tag()) {single_tag_title();} elseif (is_day()) {echo"<li>Archive for "; the_time('F jS, Y'); echo'</li>';} elseif (is_month()) {echo"<li>Archive for "; the_time('F, Y'); echo'</li>';} elseif (is_year()) {echo"<li>Archive for "; the_time('Y'); echo'</li>';} elseif (is_author()) {echo"<li>Author Archive"; echo'</li>';} elseif (isset($_GET['paged']) && !empty($_GET['paged'])) {echo "<li>Blog Archives"; echo'</li>';} elseif (is_search()) {echo"<li>Search Results"; echo'</li>';} echo '</ul>'; |
Once done, call the following function by opening header.php:
1 | <?php the_breadcrumb(); ?> |
