How to Edit Breadcrumbs in WordPress
Breadcrumbs are an essential part of navigation for a blog, especially a large blog with several inner pages. Breadcrumbs help your users go back to a category or a main page instead of clicking the "Back" button. They also help search engines such as Google navigate and crawl pages within your blog. You use the PHP editor in your WordPress dashboard to change the breadcrumb code.
