<p>Breadcrumb Trail is one of the most advanced and robust breadcrumb menu systems available for WordPress.  It started out as a small script for basic blogs but has grown into a system that can handle nearly any site’s setup to show the most accurate breadcrumbs for each page.</p>
<h3>Before using</h3>
<p>Please note that Breadcrumb Trail requires that you understand and know how to edit your theme’s PHP code, at least to the extent of copying and pasting one line of code.  If you’re not comfortable doing this, it’s best to ask that your theme author integrate the code necessary to support this plugin.</p>
<h3>How it works</h3>
<p>This plugin automatically detects your permalink setup and displays breadcrumbs based off that structure.  Nearly all sites have some sort of hierarchy.  Breadcrumb Trail recognizes that and builds a set of unique breadcrumbs for each page on your site.</p>
<p>This means that it can also detect custom post types and taxonomies right out of the box.  Whatever you throw at it, it’s got a solution.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Auto-detects the permalink structure of your site for the most accurate breadcrumbs.</li>
<li>Hooks for plugin/theme developers to overwrite output.</li>
<li>Coded with object-oriented programming (OOP) methods to allow developers to extend it for those highly-custom setups.</li>
<li>Properly handles nearly any custom post type or taxonomy.</li>
</ul>
