Do you want to create a custom template for breadcrumbs? If you're looking to improve your website's navigation and user experience, then you need a breadcrumb trail. Breadcrumbs are a series of links that show users where they are on your site, allowing them to navigate back to previous pages easily.

***Requirement  – This is a feature of Nexter Extension (Free) plugin, make sure its installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.***

With the Nexter Theme Builder, you can easily create a custom template for breadcrumbs and select where you want to show them.

To create a breadcrumb template using the Nexter Theme Builder, follow the steps –

1. From the Dashboard, go to **Nexter Extension** > **Theme Builder** > **Add New Template**.

2. In the popup, select **Breadcrumb** from the **Select Template** dropdown.

3. Then, in the **Name of Template** field, add the template name.

4. Once done, click on the **Next** button.

5. On the next screen, you have to set the appropriate display conditions.

From the **Include In** dropdown, you have to select where the template will be visible.

Then from the **Exclude From** dropdown, you can set where the template won’t show.

In both sections, you will find the same location options that are available in the [header template](https://qa.nexterwp.com/docs/create-header-template-in-wordpress/).

6. Once done, then click on the **Create** button. 

7. Then it will open the WordPress editor, where you can use the WordPress blocks or Elementor to create the actual layout and content of the template.

To create the actual breadcrumb, there are different options available depending on the page builder you use. If you are using WordPress block builder, you can leverage the free [Breadcrumbs block](https://theplusaddons.com/widgets/elementor-breadcrumbs/) provided by Nexter Blocks.

Alternatively, if you are using Elementor, you can use the [Breadcrumbs Bar](https://theplusaddons.com/widgets/breadcrumb-bar/) widget available in The Plus Addons for Elementor. Both options allow you to easily add breadcrumb navigation to your website and enhance the user experience.

8. Once done, publish the template.

Now your template will be created and will show as per the set display conditions.
