Display Breadcrumbs On WordPress Post Without Plugin

Breadcrumbs are used to show the process to which you would navigate to a page. For posts on your WordPress blog you can use breadcrumbs on your posts to show the categories which this post is in. Displaying what categories the post is in means you can add another link to the category so that if the visitor is interested in this category they can easily navigate to more posts on the subject.

So here below we have a little snippet that contain The function below the_breadcrumb() will get the breadcrumbs for the current page this will need to go into the functions.php page. Then later you have to call this function on your desired page where you want to show breadcrumbs but only on single page single.php. So without any more preface, just garb the code now and go for it.

Features:

1.) Pure PHP code.
2.) Have to edit function.php and single.php file.
3.) Add Breadcrumb on your all post page.
4.) Display Blog Name > All Categories there.
5.) Easy to use and fully customizable.
