The code's free to use or modify and distribute for anyone.

Thanks for sharing this. What is the license for this?

Well a quick way to handle it would be to create a separate template file called home.php, and not include the breadcrumb code in that file.

Alternatively, you can wrap an if statement around the breadcrumb code, using is_front_page(), like so:

< ?php if (is_front_page()): ?>

< ?php endif; ?>

Hi Eric, thanks for this - it works perfectly. I've been trying to find a workaround to a plugin for some time, and yours is the first code I've come across that works so smoothly. I'm having a small problem that I'm hoping you can help me with - the site I'm using this on has a static front page (it's a custom part of the theme and isn't a standard post or page), and I don't want the breadcrumb appearing there. Is there any way to fix that? Thanks.

You'll have to be more specific, everything works fine for me. What doesn't work? Does it not display everything? I haven't tested this in the latest versions of WordPress, so that could be the problem, but I somewhat doubt that. Perhaps it's incompatible with the theme you're using? You may have put it in a place that isn't displayed on the theme you're using.

Thanks,

works perfect. Was looking for a while for a code that would show the full path (including ancestor pages) in breadcrumb... This simply does the trick...

Thank you for this. I was looking for a while for something like this.

I was not aware of that. But yeah, you can easily integrate them right into the PHP code. Just add it to the beginning of each

tag, and adjust the CSS if needed to make sure that it looks nice. Alternatively, you could also use it as a list bullet image, using CSS.

It works beautifully...but not in IE8. Instead of displaying: "Homepage > Subpage > Sub-subpage", it just displays: "Homepage Subpage Sub-subpage", without the " > " symbol. It seems that it doesn't understand the CSS for displaying the " > ". Is it possible to integrate these symbols to the PHP code?
