Breadcrumb Element

Using the Breadcrumb Element

 

Breadcrumbs help visitors understand where they are on your site and quickly move back to previous pages. They create a simple path of links, for example, Home > Services > Pricing, so navigation feels natural and organized. They are especially useful on sites with multiple levels or dropdown menus.


 

Add the Breadcrumb Element 

  1. Open your site in the builder.
  2. In the ELEMENTS menu, find the Breadcrumb element.
  3. Drag and drop it onto your page.


Create a Breadcrumb Path 

 

Breadcrumbs follow the page hierarchy set in your primary navigation. If a page sits under another page in the menu, that relationship becomes part of the breadcrumb path.

To set this up:

  1. Open your site’s primary navigation for editing.
  2. Create or move a page so it becomes a descendant of another page.
  3. Save your changes. The breadcrumb element will automatically reflect this path.
For example, dragging “Pricing” under “Services” creates a dropdown and tells the breadcrumb that Pricing is a child of Services.



Customize the Breadcrumb (Breadcrumb Editor Options)

 

After placing the element, click it to open the toolbar. Then select Breadcrumb Editor to adjust the settings.
