Breadcrumbs
Overview
Breadcrumbs shows visitors where they are in your site hierarchy (for example Home › Blog › Guides › Article title). Trails appear on singular content such as posts and pages and reflect parent pages, categories, and other relationships WordPress already knows about. The module can emit Schema.org BreadcrumbList JSON-LD so search engines understand the same path, which can support rich result treatment where eligible.
You control placement in two ways: drop a shortcode where designers want the trail, or turn on automatic insertion before or after the main post content on singular views. Separators, optional styling hooks, and advanced options reduce the need for custom PHP while keeping output consistent with your theme.
Editors and site owners whose navigation menus do not repeat the full depth of the site will appreciate on-page context, especially on deep URLs shared in
social or email. SEO-minded teams that already use another plugin should coordinate so only one system outputs BreadcrumbList JSON-LD; this module is ideal when you want breadcrumbs plus schema in PowerSuite only.
Developers can still override or theme the markup where needed, but many sitesenable the module, pick a separator, and use auto-insert to ship quickly on classic and block themes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this together with Yoast or Rank Math breadcrumbs?
You can, but enable only one HTML trail and one JSON-LD BreadcrumbList. Two plugins emitting schema for the same URL can confuse validators and search consoles.
Why is part of my trail missing?
The chain depends on assigned categories, parent pages, and public post type settings. Private or non-hierarchical types may show shorter paths until you assign proper parents or terms.
Does it work with the block editor and full-site editing?
Yes. Shortcodes work in Shortcode blocks; auto-insert works on singular content regardless of editor, as long as the theme calls the_content.
Can I style breadcrumbs with my theme?
Yes. Use theme CSS targeting the module’s classes or wrappers documented in Advanced Settings or inspector output.
Will breadcrumbs show on the blog index or archives?
Auto-insert targets singular content by default. For archives, use theme templates or shortcodes where your theme supports them.
