How can I add WPSSO breadcrumbs to my theme?

Question

Accepted Answer

If your theme lacks a breadcrumb feature, or you wish to replace you theme's breadcrumb feature with WPSSO breadcrumbs, you can use the wpsso_breadcrumbs_html() function in your child theme header template (or any other theme template). The wpsso_breadcrumbs_html() function can be called in the loop, if you wish to add breadcrumbs to individual posts within an archive template. Theme Header Template Code. When adding the wpsso_breadcrumbs_html() function to your theme template(s) do not forget to test for its existance so you can deactivate the WPSSO BC add-on without causing a PHP fatal error. '; wpsso_breadcrumbs_html(); echo ''; } ?> 1234567891011 '; wpsso_breadcrumbs_html(); echo '';} ?> Breadcrumbs Output Examples. Using WP Test data, for eampe, the default wpsso_breadcrumbs_html() output for the "Tiled Gallery" post might look like this:

Home > Gallery

12345

Home > Gallery

The wpsso_breadcrumbs_html() function supports three arguments. The defaults are: wpsso_breadcrumbs_html( $lists_max = 1, $link_sep = ' > ', $include_self = false ); 123 wpsso_breadcrumbs_html( $lists_max = 1, $link_sep = ' > ', $include_self = false ); The $lists_max argument allows you to add more than one line of breadcrumbs (if your post is a member of several categories, for example), the $link_sep argument allows you to change the default link separator, and $include_self allows you to optionally include the current item in the breadcrumbs. Using wpsso_breadcrumbs_html( $lists_max = 3, $link_sep = ' | ', $include_self = true ) for the Tiled Gallery post might look like this:
