## Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs are based on the hierarchy of the pages.

1. Set up a page that will be used as the top of the Hierarchy; this page can already exist.
2. Next, create a new page or edit an existing one.
3. Go to the **Page Attributes** section.
4. Click on the **Parent** drop-down menu.
5. Choose the parent page from the list of pages.
6. **Publish **or **Update** the page.

To see what this looks like,

1. Go to **Pages**.
2. Scroll down to the parent page. You can see that hierarchy shown with the dash next to the child(ren) page(s). In the screenshot below, the Graduate page is the parent of the Admissions and Events pages.

Now that you have set up the Page Hierarchy, you may want to turn on Breadcrumbs.

1. Go to **Appearance** > **Customize** > **Navigation Options** > **Breadcrumbs**. The breadcrumbs will display on top of the child(ren) page(s).
2. Set Breadcrumbs **On.**
3. Go to a child page and you will see the breadcrumbs above the title of the page.

## Precrumbs

Precrumbs can be added to the left of the Breadcrumbs.

1. Go to **Appearance** > **Menus.**
2. Click **Create a new menu.**
3. Enter “Precrumbs” as the **Menu Name.**
4. Add menu items.
5. Click **Save Menu**.

The Precrumbs and Breadcrumbs are displayed on the top of the [Other Custom Plugin](https://aurora.uconn.edu/plugins/other-custom-plugins/) page on the Aurora website. See the image below.
