How to create breadcrumbs in wordpress
We need to put following code in functions.php file.
<!--?<span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="" data-mce-bogus="1"-->php function wordpress_breadcrumbs() { $delimiter = '»'; $name = 'Home'; //text for the 'Home' link $currentBefore = '<span class="current">';</span> $currentAfter = ''; if ( !is_home() && !is_front_page() || is_paged() ) { echo '<div id="crumbs">'; global $post; $home = get_bloginfo('url'); echo '<a href="' . $home . '">' . $name . '</a> ' . $delimiter . ' '; if ( is_category() ) { global $wp_query; $cat_obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object(); $thisCat = $cat_obj->term_id; $thisCat = get_category($thisCat); $parentCat = get_category($thisCat->parent); if ($thisCat->parent != 0) echo(get_category_parents($parentCat, TRUE, ' ' . $delimiter . ' ')); echo $currentBefore . 'Archive by category ''; single_cat_title(); echo ''' . $currentAfter; } elseif ( is_day() ) { echo '<a href="' . get_year_link(get_the_time('Y')) . '">' . get_the_time('Y') . '</a> ' . $delimiter . ' '; echo '<a href="' . get_month_link(get_the_time('Y'),get_the_time('m')) . '">' . get_the_time('F') . '</a> ' . $delimiter . ' '; echo $currentBefore . get_the_time('d') . $currentAfter; } elseif ( is_month() ) { echo '<a href="' . get_year_link(get_the_time('Y')) . '">' . get_the_time('Y') . '</a> ' . $delimiter . ' '; echo $currentBefore . get_the_time('F') . $currentAfter; } elseif ( is_year() ) { echo $currentBefore . get_the_time('Y') . $currentAfter; } elseif ( is_single() ) { $cat = get_the_category(); $cat = $cat[0]; echo get_category_parents($cat, TRUE, ' ' . $delimiter . ' '); echo $currentBefore; the_title(); echo $currentAfter; } elseif ( is_page() && !$post->post_parent ) { echo $currentBefore; the_title(); echo $currentAfter; } elseif ( is_page() && $post->post_parent ) { $parent_id = $post->post_parent; $breadcrumbs = array(); while ($parent_id) { $page = get_page($parent_id); $breadcrumbs[] = '<a href="' . get_permalink($page->ID) . '">' . get_the_title($page->ID) . '</a>'; $parent_id = $page->post_parent; } $breadcrumbs = array_reverse($breadcrumbs); foreach ($breadcrumbs as $crumb) echo $crumb . ' ' . $delimiter . ' '; echo $currentBefore; the_title(); echo $currentAfter; } elseif ( is_search() ) { echo $currentBefore . 'Search results for '' . get_search_query() . ''' . $currentAfter; } elseif ( is_tag() ) { echo $currentBefore . 'Posts tagged ''; single_tag_title(); echo ''' . $currentAfter; } elseif ( is_author() ) { global $author; $userdata = get_userdata($author); echo $currentBefore . 'Articles posted by ' . $userdata->display_name . $currentAfter; } elseif ( is_404() ) { echo $currentBefore . 'Error 404' . $currentAfter; } if ( get_query_var('paged') ) { if ( is_category() || is_day() || is_month() || is_year() || is_search() || is_tag() || is_author() ) echo ' ('; echo __('Page') . ' ' . get_query_var('paged'); if ( is_category() || is_day() || is_month() || is_year() || is_search() || is_tag() || is_author() ) echo ')'; } echo '</div>'; } } ?>
After that put following code in header.php file.
<?php if (function_exists('wordpress_breadcrumbs')) wordpress_breadcrumbs(); ?>
After putting above code we can see the breadcrumbs as following;
Home » Parent Page » Sub Page1 » Sub Page2
Home » Category » Subcategory » Post Name
