Breadcrumbs help visitors understand where the current page sits within the website.

Show breadcrumbsCheckboxShows breadcrumb trails below the navigation bar throughout the site

Show breadcrumbs is disabled by default.

When enabled, breadcrumbs appear on:

  • child and deeper-level pages using the Default or Landing Page template;
  • content-type collection pages;
  • individual News, Project, Person, and Subject pages.

The Homepage and top-level standard pages do not display breadcrumbs.

  • Page breadcrumbs follow the parent hierarchy configured in WordPress.
  • Collection and content-entry labels use their corresponding titles.
  • Preview a nested page after enabling the setting to check the complete trail.
