In this series of articles, I am going to introduce each of the plugins I have developed for ClassicPress, a hard-fork of WordPress, which was originally created to provide an alternative, yet compatible, CMS without the Gutenberg block editor.
The 5th plugin is Breadcrumbs.
Allows breadcrumbs to be placed before and after the content on a post, page or other post type.
The getbreadcrumbs() function can be added to a theme template to position the breadcrumbs elsewhere on the page such as before the post heading; the [getbreadcrumbs] shortcode can also be used to place breadcrumbs.
Function usage, to avoid errors if the plugin is not active is:
if (function_exists(azrcrv_getbreadcrumbs)){
echo azrcrv_getbreadcrumbs('arrow');
}
Shortcode usage is [getbreadcrumbs=arrow] or [getbreadcrumbs=text] to choose between arrow and text breadcrumbs.
The plugin supports both text based and arrow breadcrumbs; styles maintainable via the admin console.
Backward compatibility for those migrating from WordPress to ClassicPress has been maintained by retaining the azc_b_getbreadcrumbs() function..
This plugin is multisite compatible; each site will need settings to be configured in the admin dashboard.
Download
The current release of the plugin can be downloaded from GitHub
