Description
HeavyMask Breadcrumbs gives Elementor sites a clear navigation trail that helps visitors understand where they are and helps search engines interpret page hierarchy.
Build the exact trail your site needs, or let the widget use the current WordPress context automatically:
- Create custom trails from published posts, pages, or any URL.
- Build automatic trails for pages, posts, taxonomies, archives, and blog/resource contexts.
- Add a home link, current-page label, configurable separators, and no-link intermediate items.
- Emit optional JSON-LD BreadcrumbList structured data for search engines.
- Style the container, items, links, current page, home item, and separators independently.
- Control typography, colours, spacing, borders, shadows, focus outlines, separator rotation, and opacity.
- Use responsive values that follow Elementor’s active breakpoints.
- Set sitewide breadcrumb style defaults from one source widget, so a single design system can be shared across templates.
- Keep the trail accessible with labelled navigation and current-page semantics.
Elementor Pro is not required for the core widget features.

-
Does the widget output schema markup?
-
Yes. Schema can be enabled or disabled in the widget controls.
