Breadcrumbs question

They’re supposed to indicate to the user where they are in a site. They’re probably more useful on sites with many different pages several levels deep. For example, if you had a site that was devoted to animals, and you classified animals by type (Reptiles, Mammals, Insects, Birds), and then under each type you had individual animals, then a breakcrumb like this might be useful:

Home > Mammals > Dogs > Poodle

Then a visitor can click the Mammals link and be taken to the Mammals page.

I don’t use breadcrumbs on my sites. If you want to include one, but not have it be so predominant, you can just show the text instead of displaying a gray bar.

Even though you’ve set up a certain relationship in the menu, you have to set up the Parent-Child relationship within the pages itself.

Go and edit your Negative Ions page. On the right side should be a section called Page Attributes. If you do not see it, then click the Screen Options tab in the upper right corner, check the box labeled Page Attributes, and it will appear.

In the Page Attributes section will be a drop-down list labeled Parent. For the Negative Ions page, you want to select Epsom Salt as the parent. Click the Update button to save your changes.

Then go edit your Epsom Salt page and make the Numbness page its parent.

Finally, you want to go edit your Numbness page and make its parent the B12 Symptoms page.

Once you’ve established the parent-child relationships of these pages, then you should see the correct breadcrumbs when you go to the Negative Ions page. You’ll also see the correct page relationships when you view the list of pages from the admin dashboard. The child pages will be indented under its parent page.
