Breadcrumb
This module is only available when LearnDash 3.0 or later is installed and active.
Breadcrumb
Renders a navigational breadcrumb trail showing the learner's position within the course hierarchy (e.g. Course → Lesson → Topic).
Usage
On any LearnDash content template — Place near the top of a lesson, topic, or quiz Themer template to orient learners within the course structure. At minimum, the breadcrumb shows the parent course; deeper nesting adds the parent lesson and current item.
With links disabled — Set Links to No for a purely informational trail that doesn't navigate away. Useful when the breadcrumb is decorative rather than functional.
Pairing with navigation buttons — Combine with the Navigation Button module at the bottom of the template for a consistent orientation + navigation pattern.
