FAQ
Why was this plugin developed?
We found that we were reproducing this functionality for many of our clients and premium themes and thought it would be better suited as a freely available plugin instead of a theme template.
How do I add the template tag to my theme?
To add the template tag to your theme, insert the following code, preferably outside of the loop, where you would like the breadcrumb trail to appear.
<?php if ( function_exists( 'wap8_trailblaze' ) ) {
wap8_trailblaze();
} ?>
Are there any known limitations?
Yes. Though we have added custom taxonomy archives to the breadcrumbs, the breadcrumbs will not return a hierarchical list when browsing a custom taxonomy archive that is hierarchical.
