Last day I wrote about the SEO Friendly Breadcrumb Format, I have implemented those formats in my WordPress site. And here is the code which is written for WordPress.
Add this PHP code at the end of functions.php file from the theme folder
<?php
if ( ! function_exists( 'breadcrumbs' ) ) :
function breadcrumbs() {
$delimiter = '›';
$home = 'Home';
echo '<div xmlns:v="http://rdf.data-vocabulary.org/#" class="breadcrumb">';
global $post;
echo ' <span typeof="v:Breadcrumb">
<a rel="v:url" property="v:title" href="'.get_bloginfo('url').'">'.$home.'</a>
</span> ';
$cats = get_the_category();
if ($cats) {
foreach($cats as $cat) {
echo $delimiter . "<span typeof=\"v:Breadcrumb\">
<a rel=\"v:url\" property=\"v:title\" href=\"".get_category_link($cat->term_id)."\" >$cat->name</a>
</span>";
}
}
$posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
foreach($posttags as $tag) {
echo $delimiter . "<span typeof=\"v:Breadcrumb\">
<a rel=\"v:url\" property=\"v:title\" href=\"".get_tag_link($tag->term_id)."\" >$tag->name</a>
</span>";
}
}
echo '</div>';
}
endif;
?>
The above code will generate the breadcrumb from the post categories and post tags values of the current post. The parent category will be show at the first then its child, and finally add if any tag presents.
Add the following function call in your single.php file.
<?php breadcrumbs(); ?>
Place this code above the the_title() function or below the_content() function calls.
Add the following CSS in you Style.css
/* BreadCrumbs CSS*/
.breadcrumb {
font-size: 11px;
}
.breadcrumb a {
color: gray;
text-decoration: none;
}
.breadcrumb a:hover {
color: #178A00;
}
So now your WordPress blog’s breadcrumb is Search Engine Optimized. You can see the results from your next post onward. Its so simple

How if I’ve breadcrumbs on my theme? Should I use again?
and I am using Thesis, so I placed it into thesis function instead of wordpress function or not?
Just replace the thesis breadcrumbs function call with breadcrumbs(); and use the place the function definition anywhere in the function.php file.
Thanks a lot for your answer. It solved my problem
