Description
Sometimes you have a different permalink set up than the breadcrumbs you want.
For instance: https://yourdomain.com/seo-services
The “seo-services” page is under the “services” section but you did not set it up as a child of the services page.
Still, you want the breadcrumbs to indicate the proper parent.
Example:
Home > Services > SEO Services
instead of:
Home > SEO Services
This plugin lets you do that.
It has no settings but adds a side meta box to all your posts and pages (All post types) where you can choose the title and url to prepend to the breadcrumbs trail.
Options are:
-Append a breadcrumb after the first breadcrumb (Usually “Home”)
-Prepend a breadcrumb to the last item in the breadcrumbs (the current page).
A title and URL need to be entered for each pair in order for the breadcrumbs to be affected. You can create 2 new breadcrumbs or just one.
Future Versions
- Change the page url field to use a drop down of current sites pages/posts instead of manually typing in the URL
- Add option to use the title of selected page or enter in the title manually to override (Manual is how it currently works)
- Please feel free to email me with bugs and/or suggestions.
Screenshots
The meta box in the page edit screen. There is no settings screen. Activating the plugin adds the meta boxes to all pages, posts, and post types.
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/plugin-namedirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
- Make sure that you have installed and activated Yoast SEO and enabled breadcrumbs in the “SEO > advanced” section of the Yoast SEO settings.
- Go to any post or page and you will see the new options box on the side titled “Add a breadcrumb”. Add the title and link (link can begin with “/” instead of your domain path), and you will see that the breadcrumbs for that page have changed.
FAQ
- What happens if Yoast is not installed or activated or if Yoast breacrumbs are not enabled?
-
The meta boxes will still appear on the post edit screen but will have no effect on your site until you enable Yoast SEO and enable Yoast SEO’s breadcrumbs.
