In WordPress, breadcrumbs played an important role on the post page and also it’s help user to go back to previous page or home page. It make clear to user from where he/she come’s from, and where he/she right now. Breadcrumbs are navigational links, normally showing at the top of posts and pages. It is used to display all the pages, category and parent page links leading from the homepage. There are a number of WordPress plugins are available for adding breadcrumbs on your site, But i personally recommended you it’s not a wise choice to use any plugin for a simple task, which you can done by a simple code snippets.

Here is the code for ADD or display breadcrumb on your WordPress site without Plugin.

We’ve created a function called get_breadcrumb_prokashit() to generate the breadcrumb links. You only need to add the get_breadcrumb_prokashit() function code in functions.php file of the current theme.

function get_breadcrumb_prokashit() {
   echo '<ol>';
    echo '<li><a href="'.home_url().'">Home</a></li>';
    if (is_category() || is_single()) {
        echo "<li>"; 
        echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;&nbsp;";
        the_category(' &bull; ');
        echo "</li><li>";
            if (is_single()) {
                
                echo " &nbsp;&nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;&nbsp; ";
                the_title();
               
            }
        echo "</li>";    
    } elseif (is_page()) {
       echo "<li>"; 
       echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;&nbsp;";
       echo the_title();
       echo "</li>"; 
    } elseif (is_search()) {
        echo "<li>"; 
        echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;&nbsp;Search Results for... ";
        echo '"<em>';
        echo the_search_query();
        echo '</em>"';
        echo "</li>"; 
    }
    echo "</ol>"; 
}
