How to Easily Add WordPress Breadcrumb TrailHandy code to add Wordpress breadcrumb trail in your templates to output a breadcrumb trail and navigation links on your blog.
I did not write this WordPress breadcrumb trail function, however, it's one of the ones in my global functions.php which is used on most of my sites. I cannot remember where I got it from or who wrote it.
function breadcrumbTrail($crumbs = true, $title = 'Browse', $separator = '/')
{
global $post;
?>
<div class="breadcrumbs">
<?php
if($title !== 'Browse')
echo $title;
else
_e('Browse','options');
?>: <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>"><?php _e('Home','options'); ?></a> <?php echo $separator; ?>
<?php
if(is_single()) :
the_category(', '); echo ' ' . $separator . ' ';
elseif(is_page()) :
$parent_id = $post->post_parent;
$parents = array();
while($parent_id) :
$page = get_page($parent_id);
if($params["link_none"])
$parents[] = get_the_title($page->ID);
else
$parents[] = '<a href="'.get_permalink($page->ID).'" title="'.get_the_title($page->ID).'">'.get_the_title($page->ID).'</a> ' . $separator . ' ';
$parent_id = $page->post_parent;
endwhile;
$parents = array_reverse($parents);
foreach($parents as $val) :
echo $val;
endforeach;
endif;
the_title();
?>
</div>
<?php
}
To use this function simply make a call to breadcrumbTrail()
in the template where you wish to show the WordPress Breadcrumb Trail.
