   Hi,
   I know very very little about php.

   After adding the code below, my site didn't function at all.
   <?php if ( functionexists('yoastbreadcrumb') { yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>'); } )?>

   Could anyone explain in better detail how to do this properly?

   Thanks

   You've left out two quite important _'s:

   <?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') { yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>'); } )?>

   Thanks joostdevalk,
   BTW, I copied that code from the installation page:

   Can I drop this php code anywhere in my templates or is there a specific place to insert?

   Hmm thanks Zilther, I'll remove that page and point people to the instructions on my site. Could you set the topic to resolved after that? :) Thanks!

   Topic is resolved, thanks for the quick replies. For any other total WordPress noobs questioning how to add the code to your templates see below:

   From the dashboard-
   click on "Design"
   Then click "Theme Editor"

   Add the code from the installation instructions to any of your post and/or page templates where you would want the breadcrumbs to show up.

   When inserting the code I placed it on an open line, spaced one line apart from other code in a spot that followed a </div>

   This worked out well on my site Raproto.com

   What templates are most recommended to use the code at, and exactly where within the code? Sorry I'm a total noob to php. Thanks

   Sorry I'm a total noob. Joost posted:
   Add the following code to your theme's template(s):
   <?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
   yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>');
   } ?>

   What templates? I was reading that wordpress has the following templates:
   * Header - header.php
   * Sidebar/Menu - sidebar.php
   * Content - index.php, single.php, page.php, category.php, author.php, search.php, etc.
   * Footer - footer.php

   Also, where exactly within the template's code? Anywhere?

   Thanks in advance.

   I have another question. Is it possible to change the styles of the plugin so letters will display bigger, place a background for the breadcrumbs or make links show in another color just like Joost has in his blog? If so, where? Thanks.
