 * Hello,
 * I am working on activating Yoast breadcrumbs. Since entering the code in Theme
   Editor for my child theme is a bit confusing, I just entered a shortcode [wpseo_breadcrumb]
   on my post. Seems easy, but before I enter it on all of my posts I wanted to 
   ask you…
 * Does it make a difference for SEO if breadcrumbs are activated through Theme 
   Editor (large code) vs inserting the shortcode separately on every post?
 * I am asking also because implementing the shortcode is recommended for breadcrumbing
   Pages. I am intending to use it for Posts.
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fimplementing-breadcrumbs-on-posts-with-shortcode%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * [@somenoma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/somenoma/) You don’t have to 
   implement the breadcrumbs by adding the necessary code to your theme’s files.
   However, if you choose to insert the breadcrumbs by using the `[wpseo_breadcrumb]`
   shortcode, it would require you pasting that shortcode on every single page, 
   post, etc that you want the breadcrumbs to appear on. By including the breadcrumbs
   code in your theme’s files, it will ensure that they appear automatically.
 * We also have directions for implementing the Yoast breadcrumbs at the following
