Page Hierarchy

Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs are based on the hierarchy of the pages.

1. Set up a page that will be used as the top of the Hierarchy; this page can already exist.

2. Next, create a new page or edit an existing one.

   Open

   

3. Go to the Page Attributes section.

4. Click on the Parent drop-down menu.

5. Choose the parent page from the list of pages.

6.  Publish or Update the page.

To see what this looks like,

1. Go to Pages.

2. Scroll down to the parent page. You can see that hierarchy shown with the dash next to the child(ren) page(s). In the screenshot below, the Graduate page is the parent of the Admissions and Events pages.

1. Go to Appearance > Customize > Navigation Options > Breadcrumbs. The breadcrumbs will display on top of the child(ren) page(s).

2. Set Breadcrumbs On.

3. Go to a child page and you will see the breadcrumbs above the title of the page.
