## Beskrivelse

Hello friend! We built this plugin because we are tired of heavy plugins. Many WordPress
users want to show simple breadcrumb navigation on their blog or business website.
But if you install a big SEO plugin, it loads so many scripts, queries, and advertisements
in your admin panel that your website starts running slow.

If you only want a nice breadcrumb trail for your users and search engines like 
Google, you do not need all that heavy stuff! **Breadcrumbs Made Easy** is a dedicated,
very lightweight plugin that does exactly what you need. It does not run heavy database
queries. It does not load large CSS files. It has only one clean public stylesheet(
less than 1KB!) and minimal settings so your page load speed stays lightning fast.

Google loves fast websites, and search engines use breadcrumbs to understand your
site’s structure. By showing a clear hierarchy path, you make both your visitors
happy and your SEO rankings better.

Our plugin automatically detects your site hierarchy. Whether it is a deep category
structure, parent-child pages, custom post types, tag indexes, daily/monthly archives,
search result pages, or 404 pages, the plugin builds the correct navigation path
back to the home page automatically.

You can set everything from a single, easy-to-use admin dashboard. Change font sizes,
pick your brand colors using the native WordPress Color Picker, write your custom
homepage label, or choose where to auto-display breadcrumbs. You can also place 
breadcrumbs manually using our new **Easy Breadcrumbs Block Editor block** or a 
simple shortcode `[easy_breadcrumbs]` (we even added a quick «Copy» button in settings
to save you time!).

### Why website owners love Breadcrumbs Made Easy:

 * **Built-in JSON-LD Schema (SEO-Friendly):** Automatically generates and inserts
   valid `BreadcrumbList` schema markup in JSON-LD format to help search engines
   present your website beautifully in search results.
 * **Super Lightweight:** No heavy database queries. Keeps your page load speed 
   fast so you get a better Core Web Vitals score.
 * **Block Editor Support:** Insert breadcrumbs visually using our custom block.
   You can see a live visual preview in the editor that matches your dashboard settings!
 * **Auto-Insert Locations:** Automatically place breadcrumbs before/after post 
   titles or before/after content. No need to touch PHP files.
 * **Shortcode & PHP Function:** Put it anywhere inside pages, widgets, or theme
   files using `[easy_breadcrumbs]` or theme templates.
 * **Beautiful Admin Dashboard:** Simple interface with native WordPress color pickers
   for font, current page, and separator colors.
 * **Fully Customizable Labels:** Change text for Home, Archives, Author pages, 
   Tags, Search results, and 404 errors. Works great for local languages and translations!
 * **Interactive Separator Presets:** Easily click between popular separator keys(
   like `-`, `–`, `—`, `>`, `<`, `»`, `«`, `/`, `\`, `|`, `•`) to instantly style
   your breadcrumb trail.

### Features

#### Custom Block Editor Block (Easy Breadcrumbs)

You do not need to write codes or copy shortcodes anymore. Just search for «Easy
Breadcrumbs» in your Block Editor and click to insert. The block shows a beautiful
visual preview in the editor using your custom dashboard colors and font settings
so you see exactly what your users will see.

#### Auto-Display & Prepend/Append

No need to edit your theme files. We built an auto-insertion feature. In settings,
you can choose to auto-insert the breadcrumbs in 4 positions:
 1. Before Title 2.
After Title 3. Before Content 4. After Content This applies automatically to singular
posts and pages.

#### Quick Copy Shortcode Button

If you prefer manual placement, we provide the shortcode `[easy_breadcrumbs]`. We
added a handy «Copy» button right next to the shortcode input in the admin settings.
Just click it, and it instantly copies to your clipboard and shows a green «Copied!»
message. Simple and fast!

#### WordPress Color Picker Styling

Customize colors without writing CSS code. You can easily pick:
 * Base Font Color(
for links and paths) * Current Page Font Color (to highlight the active page) * 
Separator Color (for symbols like `>`, `/`, etc.) * Font size in pixels * Current
Page Background Color (style the active page trail block) * Current Page Border (
configure custom active page border size and colors) * Current Page Font Size & 
Padding (fully customize typography and breathing room)

#### Interactive Separator Presets

No need to look up or copy-paste special characters! The admin settings dashboard
now displays a styled presets selector bar with 10 popular separator symbols. You
can click any preset button to dynamically update the trail’s separator, complete
with active-state visual highlighting.

#### Intelligent Path Hierarchy

The plugin handles complex structures automatically:
 * **Nested Categories:** Shows
Home > Parent Cat > Child Cat > Post Title. * **Parent-Child Pages:** For deep pages
like Services > Digital Marketing > SEO. * **Custom Post Types (CPTs):** Automatically
handles custom post types and custom taxonomy terms. You can also customize labels
for each custom post type dynamically from the Labels settings dashboard page. ***
Archives & Tags:** Dynamically shows year/month/day dates, tags, and author names.***
Search & 404:** Shows custom labels for search results and 404 errors.

#### Dynamic Custom Post Type Labels

If you have custom post types registered on your website, they are automatically
listed on the Labels settings submenu. You can write custom, user-friendly labels
for each CPT (e.g. override «portfolio» CPT back-link text to say «Our Work»), making
navigation extremely intuitive for your users.

#### Google-Compliant JSON-LD Schema

Get rich snippets in Google Search results! The plugin generates valid, Google-compliant
schema markup dynamically matching your pages’ hierarchy. It can be easily enabled
or disabled from the admin settings.

### Use Cases

#### 1. E-Commerce and CPT Portfolio Sites

If you have custom post types (like products, portfolio, or books) and custom taxonomies,
our plugin automatically displays the slug hierarchy, helping buyers navigate back
to catalog pages easily.

#### 2. Deeply Structured Blogs

For blogs with multiple categories, users can easily click the parent category links
in the breadcrumb to explore more related articles, lowering your bounce rate.

#### 3. Service & Agency Websites

Help potential clients navigate your service pages (e.g. Home > Services > Web Design)
and quickly understand what section of the site they are looking at.

## Installasjon

Installing the plugin is very simple:

 1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard, navigate to **Plugins > Add New**.
 2. Search for **Breadcrumbs Made Easy**.
 3. Click **Install Now** and then **Activate**.
 4. Alternatively, download the zip file and upload it through **Plugins > Add New 
    > Upload Plugin**.
 5. Once activated, go to **Breadcrumbs Made Easy** in your sidebar menu to customize
    colors, labels, and auto-insert options.
 6. If you want manual placement, insert our Block Editor block **Easy Breadcrumbs**
    or paste the shortcode `[easy_breadcrumbs]`.

## Ofte stilte spørsmål

### How do I display breadcrumbs manually on my pages?

You can do this in two ways:
 1. In the Block Editor, search for the **Easy Breadcrumbs**
block and add it visually. 2. Paste the shortcode `[easy_breadcrumbs]` into any 
shortcode block, classic editor, or widget area. If you are a developer, you can
also use PHP code: `<?php echo do_shortcode('[easy_breadcrumbs]'); ?>` inside your
theme files.

### Can I hide the current page title from the breadcrumb trail?

Yes! In the settings dashboard, you can turn off the «Show Current Page» setting.
This hides the final link, ending the trail at the parent category or page.

### Does it support my local language translations?

Yes, absolutely. All labels (Home, Archives, Tags, Search, Author, 404) are text
fields in the admin dashboard. You can type your local language text directly in
the settings page and save it.

### Can I change the breadcrumb labels for my custom post types?

Yes! Navigating to **Breadcrumbs Made Easy > Labels** will dynamically list all 
registered public custom post types on your site. You can input custom labels for
each post type to override the default plural or singular name in the breadcrumbs
trail and the JSON-LD schema.

### How do I choose or customize the breadcrumb separator?

In the plugin settings dashboard, you can enter any custom separator character or
symbol (including HTML codes). To make it easy, we have added a styled presets panel
where you can click popular separators—such as dashes, slashes, backslashes, double
quotes, pipes, and bullets—to populate the field automatically.

### Does this plugin track my website data?

This plugin uses ConicPlex to collect basic deactivation feedback. When you deactivate
or uninstall the plugin, a quick popup asks why you are deactivating. You can write
your feedback or click «Skip & Deactivate». It sends basic metadata (like site URL,
admin email, plugin version) to help our team fix bugs and make the plugin better.

### Will this plugin slow down my website load speed?

No, definitely not! This is a core feature of our plugin. We do not load external
libraries, web fonts, or heavy scripts. The public stylesheet is extremely small,
and we use optimized PHP code to build the trail.

### Does this plugin support schema markup for Google?

Yes! Starting from version 1.2.0, the plugin automatically outputs the standard `
BreadcrumbList` schema in JSON-LD format (`application/ld+json`). This helps search
engines like Google understand your site structure and show breadcrumbs in search
engine result pages (SERPs). You can toggle this setting in the admin settings dashboard.
