Just what I was looking for !
This plugin does exactly what I was looking for ! Additionally the support is responsive and efficient (only 1 contact for a very small update glitch in more than 1 year). Eric Collart
Does one thing really well
I use this plugin for breadcrumbs on all of my site. I love how easy it is to customise, and it works faithfully across all page types. Super easy to use, and yet really powerful and customisable.
Great Plugin – Great Team
The plugin does exactly what it says. Even more importantly, the team is super responsive about updating the plugin & taking feedback. Super helpful. Hope they come out with more plugins!
