This is a WordPress plugin for internal link building that inserts breadcrumbs into your posts just with a shortcode or a PHP function.
Also provides several parameters to customize the breadcrumbs to your taste.
How to use it:
1. Search for the Breadcrumbs Shortcode plugin or upload the downloaded zip file to your WordPress.
2. Install & Activate the plugin.
3. Insert the following shortcode into your posts. Done.
[breadcrumbs]
4. To customize the breadcrumbs, just pass the following parameters to the shortcode:
- id: Post ID (You can ignore that parameter if you want to get for current post on single post pages).
- is_category: false: If you also use the shortcode in Category/Archive listings and want to get looped posts’ actual category (rather than the currently viewing category breadcrumb), then set to true (at first, ensure the shortcode is used inside
loop:...while (have_posts()) : the_post()...
, otherwise it can’t access post information) - include_current: false: If you want to include current post’s title in breadcrumb after categories chain, like:
Home > Category1 > Category2 > My Current Post Title
- delimiter: >: Your desired delimiter
- title: Category:: Whatever you want to have a starting title before breadcrumbs
- exclude: List of category IDs (i.e. 32,84) you want to be excluded from breadcrumbs.
- clearfix: true Include
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
before&after the breadcrumbs element.
5. You can also insert the breadcrumbs into your template using a PHP function:
$GLOBALS['BreadcrumbsShortcode_PP']->breadcrumbs( ['parameter'=>123, ....] );
