Breadcrumbs Widget

The Breadcrumbs widget can be added to a site so that site visitors can simply understand their position and successfully browse the site, hence improving the site's SEO. The Breadcrumbs widget provides a trail of the site hierarchy depending on the user's present position. Sites with flat hierarchies should not employ breadcrumbs (only 1 or 2 levels deep). In this situation, the navigation bar can clearly show which portion a page belongs to.

Breadcrumbs show the following names:

• Subpages and pages
• Folders
• Pages that change dynamically
• Store pages  (for native store)

Note

To allow the Breadcrumbs widget to show dynamic pages, activate the Show on all settings:

1. Click Pages on the sidebar.
2. Next to the dynamic page, click the gear icon.
3. In the menu, click Hide/Show in navigation and then choose Show on all.

To include the Breadcrumbs widget, follow these steps:

1. Click Widgets on the side panel.
2. Drag the Breadcrumbs widget onto your website. If you're in Flex mode, choose the Breadcrumbs widget by pointing to it and clicking Plus.

See Add Widgets for additional information on adding widgets to your site.
