Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Instant Breadcrumbs

Instant Breadcrumbs is designed to work with "generic" WordPress blog themes. In other words, these

menu (or a menu based on your static pages, if no menu has been defined). The default themes that ship with each WordPress installation are good examples, as are most "general purpose" blogging themes. The plugin is intended to provide easy breadcrumb functionality for basic blogging, and will attempt to identify the first menu on the web page.

Instant Breadcrumbs attempts to find the first menu in your theme, and add the trail there. For some themes the menu may be difficult to identify, or the first menu is not the ideal position. In these cases, you may manually specify a theme location in the Instant Breadcrumbs settings. The value here

blank to allow Instant Breadcrumbs to automatically find the first one. If your web site is highly customized, and your theme contains its own custom code to generate menus or navigation, then it's likely that Instant Breadcrumbs may not be called when your site

to insert the breadcrumb trail at an appropriate location in your theme. You can optionally insert HTML between the breadcrumb elements, and you should perform your own CSS styling. Alternatively, you may insert the supplied widget in an appropriate location. I don't want the breadcrumb trail automatically adding itself to my menu. The automatic addition of breadcrumbs to the main menu is not for everyone. It may not suit your existing menu items, or perhaps you would prefer a more traditional breadcrumb display somewhere else in your layout. The automatic mode is the default in Instant Breadcrumbs, but you may disable it in the Breadcrumbs settings page (under Appearance). If you are using the widget method, or manually editing your template PHP, it is recommended you disable automatic mode.

The plugin is designed to keep your settings from one installed version to the next. If the upgraded version has new settings, they will be set to sensible defaults. You should verify these new settings after an upgrade. Your old settings should still be preserved.

Instant Breadcrumbs will reuse menu items wherever possible, for example when viewing a page that is already in the top-level menu. However it cannot reuse a menu item link if doing so would mean the generated breadcrumbs are no longer in order. The usual example of this is if the home page already appears in the primary menu. The generated breadcrumb trail requires the home link to be first. The easiest workaround for this is simply to customize your menu so the home page is not included a second time.

The Instant Breadcrumbs plugin adds the CSS class ib-crumb to the li element of any breadcrumbs in the menu, and ib-lastcrumb to the last link in the breadcrumb trail representing the current page. Furthermore, the class ib-added is added to the li element of new menu items created by the plugin, and ib-edited to existing menu items. These may be styled in your theme's style.css should for instance you would like breadcrumb items to be highlighted in a different color. Some useful examples: .ib-crumb {display:inline;} will display your breadcrumb trail in a single line if you are using PHP or the widget to display the trail. A more complex one is .ib-crumb+.ib-crumb:before {content:">";}

If your post title includes these characters, be sure to escape them correctly (for example as <, >, and &). Otherwise they may be rendered incorrectly at any time they may appear on the Web page, including in the breadcrumb trail. This is nothing particular about Instant Breadcrumbs, but all breadcrumb generators, and Web pages in general, behave similarly. As of version 1.2, you may include HTML markup in your post titles, such as <em>for emphasis</em>, and the Instant Breadcrumb trail will optionally include it in the breadcrumb as well. This option is enabled by default. Disabling it will use text only in each crumb.
