Simple Crumbs Redux is a resurrection of the Simple Crumbs plugin by Can Koluman (http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-crumbs/) 0.2.5 codebase. Version 1.0.0 of Simple Crumbs Redux fixes a fatal error generated when using PHP 5.4 and greater (and a deprecation warning with PHP 5.3). I'm keeping the original short code (though you can also use [simple_crumbs_redux]) so this plugin will work as a drop in replacement for Simple Crumbs.

Simple Crumbs Redux - Generates a breadcrumb trail for pages and blog entries. Requires use of permalinks and PHP >= 4.1.0. Tested up to WordPress 4.2.2 and PHP 5.5.

Notes: link/crumb information from $query_string, page/post information from $post, using permalink info for making links, using permalink structure for bootstrapping unrolled recursions (deepest to topmost). Author URI: http://www.dougsparling.org

Usage Examples:
  • Usage: <?php echo do_shortcode('[simple_crumbs root="Home" /]') ?>

  • Usage: [simple_crumbs /]
Sample Output: (with Home as 'root')
  1. Home > Section > Subsection
  2. Home > Blog > 2013 > 08 > 23 > Blog Title
  3. Home > Search Results
  4. Home > Tag > Tag Name
