# Enable Breadcrumbs

## Activate the Breadcrumbs

To do that, go to **SEO, PRO, Breadcrumbs** tab.

Check the radio button (iOS way) associated with **Breadcrumbs**.

Then, check **Enable Breadcrumbs**.

Set a breadcrumbs separator (default: ” – “).

Click **Save changes**.

## Add the Breadcrumbs to your theme

### Using the Block Editor

**Edit** a page, add a new block, search for “**Breadcrumbs**” and add it to your post content.

Use the **block panel** from the right column to change the design.

Save the post.

### Using the FSE (Full Site Editing)

Go to **Appearance**, **Editor**, edit the **Header template part**.

Add the **Breadcrumbs** block to your template and **Save changes** (checkout the above video to learn more about this).

### Using the Elementor page builder

Simply drag and drop the **Breadcrumbs** block from **Elementor’s left bar** into your template on the right.

### Using PHP

Copy and paste this code in your theme to call the breadcrumbs (eg: header.php file):

```
if(function_exists("seopress_display_breadcrumbs")) {
    seopress_display_breadcrumbs();
}
```

If you only want to get the breadcrumb (ie do not make an “echo” but a “return”), specify “false” as parameter when calling the function:

```
if(function_exists("seopress_display_breadcrumbs")) {
    seopress_display_breadcrumbs(false);
}
```

### Using the shortcode

You can also use our shortcode in a text widget, post, page or post type:

`[seopress_breadcrumbs]`

That’s it!
