Setup breadcrumb navigation

Influential Lite includes a sidebar that is special for those who want to run their site with breadcrumb navigation. This tutorial will help you get this setup. Normally I recommend using the popular Breadcrumb NavXT plugin, but you can use any plugin you want, but I would look for one that has a widget you can use in the theme’s “Breadcrumbs” sidebar position. This makes it easier than opening a theme file to modify it with code that some plugins instruct.

For Influential, you can find the breadcrumbs on select pages:
