## Description

Breadcrumbs are often generated from Page structure, but in a world of Custom Post
Types that doesn’t always work. Menu Breadcrumb uses your WordPress Menu to generate
a breadcrumb trail based on the current page.

## Installation

 1. Download `menu-breadcrumb.zip` and extract
 2. Upload the `menu-breadcrumb` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 4. Place `<?php if ( function_exists( 'menu_breadcrumb') ) { menu_breadcrumb( 'my-
    menu-id' ); } ?>` in your templates where you want the breadcrumb to appear

## FAQ

### How do I output a breadcrumb trail?

Add the following to your theme template where you would like to output the breadcrumb:

    ```
    <?php
        if ( function_exists( 'menu_breadcrumb') ) {
            menu_breadcrumb(
                'main',                             // Menu Location to use for breadcrumb
                ' &raquo; ',                        // separator between each breadcrumb
                '<p class="menu-breadcrumb">',      // output before the breadcrumb
                '</p>'                              // output after the breadcrumb
            );
        }
    ?>
    ```

As I see, it works with WP 4.2.2. The Theme is being developed, so i could not find
any bugs so far.
