How to use Breadcrumb NavXT

Breadcrumb NavXT is a WordPress plugin that adds breadcrumb navigation to your website. Breadcrumbs are a type of navigational aid that help users understand where they are on a website and how they got there. They consist of a series of links that show the user's location in the site hierarchy.

To use Breadcrumb NavXT, you first need to install and activate the plugin on your WordPress site. Once you have done this, you can configure the plugin's settings by going to Settings > Breadcrumb NavXT in your WordPress dashboard.

In the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page, you will see several options that control the appearance and behavior of the breadcrumbs. These include options for the separator character, the home page link, and the maximum number of breadcrumbs to display.

You can also customize the breadcrumb labels using templates. These templates allow you to define the label for each type of page on your site, such as the home page, category pages, and individual post pages. You can use placeholders within the templates to dynamically generate the labels based on the page's information.

Once you have configured the settings and templates to your liking, you can add the breadcrumb navigation to your site by adding the following code to your theme's template files:

if ( function_exists( 'bcn_display' ) ) {
    bcn_display();
}

This code will display the breadcrumb navigation wherever it is placed within the template file. You can add it to the header, footer, or any other part of the template that you want.

Overall, using Breadcrumb NavXT is a straightforward process that can greatly enhance the usability of your website. By providing clear and concise navigation cues, breadcrumbs can help users find their way around your site more easily and efficiently.
