Usually, they appear at the top of your page or post. For example, from Homepage if the users click on the About Us page, this is how a breadcrumb will look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Homepage &gt; About Us<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this breadcrumb trail, users will know which place they\u2019re currently. You can further make each link clickable so that users can go back to previous pages easily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The breadcrumbs even appear in the Google search result. Here is an image for your better understanding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"188\" src=\"https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/breadcrumb-example-zakra.png\" alt=\"Breadcrumbs Example Zakra\" class=\"wp-image-12581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/breadcrumb-example-zakra.png 770w, https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/breadcrumb-example-zakra-300x73.png 300w, https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/breadcrumb-example-zakra-768x188.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, better-structured data will help your site\u2019s ranking. Apart from that, adding breadcrumbs will also reduce bounce rates on your site. That\u2019s because users will know which page they\u2019re on right now. Further, they can easily navigate back to where they came from.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t we all feel secure when we know which landmark we exactly are in right now? That\u2019s how the users feel when you add breadcrumbs to your site. Ultimately, enabling breadcrumbs on your site improves user experience as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"types-of-breadcrumbs\"><\/span>Types of Breadcrumbs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are various types of breadcrumbs.

There are various themes that offer features to add breadcrumbs to WordPress. In this tutorial, we\u2019ll use the Zakra theme.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/zakra-theme-for-wordpress.jpg\" alt=\"Zakra Theme For WordPress\" class=\"wp-image-5157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/zakra-theme-for-wordpress.jpg 770w, https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/zakra-theme-for-wordpress-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/zakra-theme-for-wordpress-768x362.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Zakra is a multipurpose theme and offers various advanced customization options. It also allows enabling breadcrumbs with just a single click.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install and Activate Zakra and Zakra Pro Add-on<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Zakra is a freemium WordPress theme. You can easily <a href=\"https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/how-to-install-and-customize-zakra-theme\/\">install and activate<\/a> it from your WordPress dashboard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The breadcrumb option is available in the free version of Zakra as well. However, if you want more customization options, we recommend installing the Zakra Pro add-on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install Zakra Pro Add-on&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>From the official site of Zakra, go to the <strong>Pricing<\/strong> page. Now choose the plan of your preference and select the <strong>Buy Now<\/strong> button.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/zakra-pricing-page.png\" alt=\"Zakra Pricing Page\" class=\"wp-image-12603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/zakra-pricing-page.png 770w, https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/zakra-pricing-page-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/zakra-pricing-page-768x387.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, fill in all the required payment fields and buy the plan. Zakra will send you an invoice to your mailing address ( the email you added while filling out the payment form). The mail will also include your Zakra user account login credentials as well as the link to directly log in to your user account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"508\" height=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Login-Credentials.png\" alt=\"Login Credentials\" class=\"wp-image-6476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Login-Credentials.png 508w, https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Login-Credentials-300x214.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, from the homepage of Zakra, select the <strong>Login<\/strong> option from the top menu bar. Then type your login credentials and hit the <strong>Sign in to your dashboard<\/strong> button.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/zakra-login-button.png\" alt=\"Zakra Login Button\" class=\"wp-image-12987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/zakra-login-button.png 770w, https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/zakra-login-button-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/zakra-login-button-768x469.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes you to your Zakra user account.

We need the license key to activate the add-on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From your Zakra user account, go to the <strong>License Key<\/strong> tab, and copy the key. Then, return to your dashboard, paste the key, and hit the <strong>Agree &amp; Activate License<\/strong> button.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"420\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Zakra-License-Key.png\" alt=\"Zakra License Key\" class=\"wp-image-6494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Zakra-License-Key.png 420w, https:\/\/zakratheme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Zakra-License-Key-300x272.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, Zakra offers options to import demos.
