Surbma | Yoast SEO Breadcrumb Shortcode

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 46% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I like the idea of this plugin. It picks up where the Yoast plugin leaves off by adding breadcrumbs to the rest of your pages which Google is looking for. I just can’t get it running on WordPress 4.3.1.

   Although adding the Yoast code to our theme wasn’t an issue however I didn’t like where the breadcrumbs appeard. A search found this handy little plugin. Perfect!

   Super simple to install and add to any page or post. However, adding it manually instead of a sitewide setting can be bit of a problem. It would be nice to see some basic settings of customizing it, such as no background or background transparency, change text color etc. Can you please provide the CSS code to modify it? See an example of what we did: http://www.stressebook.com/blog/ This one was in the blog settings feature area, where you can add HTML, shortcodes or anything else to show up just below the header. <div class="breadcrumb"> <pre><code>[yoast-breadcrumb]</code></pre> </div> We can also add it within each blog post at the top of the post in the editor. We used the HTML tab instead of the View tab in the editor. Here is another example: http://www.stressebook.com/good-stress-engineer-qualities-part-4/

   Thank you for this plugin. Had been struggling to find a way to use Yoast Breadcrumb on OptimizePress Blog theme. Using Yoast php code in header.php didn’t work properly. Your shortcode made it very easy to integrate into the OptimizePress theme.
