Usage

That's it! That's all you need to do.

However, that's not all you can do.

Using the Theme Customizer

Open the Theme Customizer by navigating to Appearance >> Customize. Click on the WP Zone option, and then on Breadcrumbs:

Note

Default breadcrumb display is not compatible with a header background color that includes transparency, and in this case the module has to be used instead. In this case, we recommend to use theme builder to make a global header that shows breadcrumbs on all pages.

Using the Breadcrumbs Divi Module

Maybe you want more control...

Instead of using the default "above content" placement of the breadcrumbs, you can use the Breadcrumbs Divi Module:

Add the Module in any row in any type of row layout:

For example, in the middle of a 3/3 row:

This will be the result:

The controls are ALL on the Customizer, though:
