Breadcrumbs navigation on WordPress blogs

One of the things I’ve placed here at Code Stuff is breadcrumbs navigation. Breadcrumbs navigation is very useful for web site visitors because it allows them to easily navigate a web site. It’s such a very useful feature I wonder why it hasn’t made it to the WordPress core.

I used the simple and useful WordPress plugin called Yoast Breadcrumbs by Joost de Valk. I’ve made some more updates to the Web Directory code I have been using here. Last time I made some mods to include permalinks. This time, I needed to be able to update the breadcrumbs navigation so that it will reflect the correct link category path. So I made some modifications of my own to the WordPress Breadcrumbs plugin for my needs. The modification is actually simple. I added some code so that I could filter the breadcrumbs created by the WordPress plugin. Now my web directory page’s breadcrumbs navigation is correctly updated (checkout the screenshot).
