Place this code in custom_functions.php:
function the_breadcrumb() {
global $post;
echo '<ul id="breadcrumbs">';
if (!is_home()) {
echo '<li><a href="';
echo get_option('home');
echo '">';
echo 'Home';
echo '</a></li><li class="separator"> / </li>';
if (is_category() || is_single()) {
echo '<li>';
the_category(' </li><li class="separator"> / </li><li> ');
if (is_single()) {
echo '</li><li class="separator"> / </li><li>';
the_title();
echo '</li>';
}
} elseif (is_page()) {
if($post->post_parent){
$anc = get_post_ancestors( $post->ID );
$title = get_the_title();
foreach ( $anc as $ancestor ) {
$output = '<li>'.get_the_title($ancestor).'</li> <li class="separator">/</li>';
}
echo $output;
echo '<strong title="'.$title.'"> '.$title.'</strong>';
} else {
echo '<li><strong> '.get_the_title().'</strong></li>';
}
}
}
elseif (is_tag()) {single_tag_title();}
elseif (is_day()) {echo"<li>Archive for "; the_time('F jS, Y'); echo'</li>';}
elseif (is_month()) {echo"<li>Archive for "; the_time('F, Y'); echo'</li>';}
elseif (is_year()) {echo"<li>Archive for "; the_time('Y'); echo'</li>';}
elseif (is_author()) {echo"<li>Author Archive"; echo'</li>';}
elseif (isset($_GET['paged']) && !empty($_GET['paged'])) {echo "<li>Blog Archives"; echo'</li>';}
elseif (is_search()) {echo"<li>Search Results"; echo'</li>';}
echo '</ul>';
}
Go to your single.php page and add the following code anywhere you want to display the breadcrumbs.
<?php the_breadcrumb(); ?>
