Hello everyone, In this article, I will help you how easily you can add breadcrumb to your Divi website on every page of your WordPress website. By using the Yoast Plugin and Child Theme with some easy steps.

1. What are breadcrumbs on a website?

It appears on each page of a site as a line displaying the path of the visited page. In which each depth level is a link to the identical pages.

It’s normally found at the top of the page. Although with great content, you can find it at the bottom too.

1.1. Why we should use breadcrumbs?

In terms of usability, breadcrumbs decrease the number of actions to the site visitor requires to take to get to a higher-level page. Rather than using the browser’s “Back” button or primary navigation to return to a higher-level page, visitors can use the breadcrumbs to navigate to those pages.

2. Install Yoast Plugin

You can easily install the Yoast Plugin, by performing a few steps in your WordPress dashboard.

1) Dashboard => Plugins => Add New

2) Type Yoast Plugin in search bar

3) Install Yoast Plugin => Activate 

2.1. Enable the Breadcrumbs in Yoast Plugin

Now you have to enable the breadcrumbs, in Yoast plugin settings. By performing these steps:

1. Dashboard => Yoast SEO => Search Appearance => Breadcrumbs

2. Goto the section -Taxonomy to show in breadcrumbs for content types => Posts (post): Select the Category option.

3. Then click on Save changes.

3. Install a Child Theme

To performing the core steps, we have to install the child theme.

If you don’t know what child theme is or how to create a child theme, read this below article for complete instruction.

But if you already know about this, just skip this step and move on to the next.

 if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {   
 yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumb">','</p>');  }} );

4. Design the breadcrumbs by CSS

Here we come to the design part of breadcrumb which you see on your site now.

you just need to add this CSS to your Divi theme CSS section.

/*Breadcumb CSS*/   

 p#breadcrumbs {
      padding: 20px 20px;   
      color:#f5f5f5;     
      font-weight:bold;    
      text-decoration:underline;    
      text-align:center;    
      text-transform:uppercase;    
      font-size:15px ; }

 #breadcrumbs a { color:#ffffff; font-weight:bold; }   
 
 p#breadcrumbs { background: #050505; }

Great!! Now you see the difference after adding the CSS. You can easily change color and font size by changing the values in the CSS.
