How To Change Genesis Breadcrumb Separator

Last time, we have shown you how can you remove you are here text from Genesis. After that, one of our users asked that about changing the breadcrumb separator. In this post, we are going to show you that how can you change Genesis breadcrumb separator and add your own custom one.

How To Change Genesis Breadcrumb Separator

By default, Genesis breadcrumbs come with “/” as the separator. Most folks wish to remove it and add something custom. All you need to do is, add a bit of code to your child theme’s functions file.

First of all, log in to your WordPress dashboard, and go to the theme editor.

In my case, now I am using the Magazine Pro theme on the blog. Open the functions file there.

Add the below code on the file and simply update it.

 add_filter('genesis_breadcrumb_args', 'modify_separator_breadcrumbs');
function modify_separator_breadcrumbs($args) {
    $args['sep'] = ' » ';
    return $args;
} 

Before updating my blog was having the default breadcrumb separator.

After publishing the update, I am on custom one!

Simple isn’t it? You don’t even need any plugins for changing the separator.

Troubleshooting

If your browser is not showing the new breadcrumb separator, you need to clear your browser cache and cache of your WordPress blog. Or, you need to open the website on a private window and check from there.

Also, make sure that you have added the custom code in the functions file. If you added it to any other file, your website will run into some issues. So, functions file.
