# How to Add Breadcrumbs to Elementor Tag Page?

## 

- Adds breadcrumbs to tag pages using the Breadcrumbs Bar widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor.
- Requires installation and activation of The Plus Addons for Elementor to utilize the Breadcrumbs Bar widget.
- Utilizes Nexter Builder or Elementor Pro to create a tag archive template for displaying breadcrumbs.

Tag archives collect posts from all over a site, so a visitor who lands on one needs an obvious route back to the home page.

The **Breadcrumbs Bar** widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor adds that trail to tag pages automatically.

## Before You Start

- **Edition:** **Free** — the Breadcrumbs Bar widget is in the free plugin as well as Pro, and the trail it builds is the same in both.- **Widget to enable:** Breadcrumbs Bar, switched on under **The Plus Addons > Widgets**.- **Where to add it:** the template for the pages you want it on — a header template shows it site-wide, a single or archive template shows it on those pages only.

## How to Add Breadcrumbs to a Tag Page

- Open the tag archive template, or your header template if you want the breadcrumb on every page.- Add the **Breadcrumbs Bar** widget where the trail should appear.- Adjust **Separator Icon** and **Extra Option** as you like.- Publish, then open a tag archive.

The trail shows the home link and the tag being viewed:

## What the Trail Shows

| Part | Where it comes from |
| ---- | ------------------- |
| Home | The **Home Title** setting, linked to your home page |
| Tag step | The tag name, shown as *Posts Tagged "Tag name"* |
| Page 2 and later | *(Page 2)* added to the end of the trail |

## Renaming the Home Step

Open **Content** and type your own text in **Home Title**. **Select Icon** in the same section switches the home icon on or off.

The first step then uses your wording:

![Front-end breadcrumb whose first step reads Start here instead of Home](https://theplusaddons.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/breadcrumbs-result-home-title.webp)

## How It Behaves

- Tags are not hierarchical, so the trail is always the home step and the tag, with no parent steps.- The wording *Posts Tagged "..."* is fixed in the widget. There is no setting for it.- **Home** set to Hide in **Extra Option** leaves only the tag step.- **Current** set to Hide takes the tag step out of view.- The trail is the same in the free plugin and in Pro.

## Limitations

- You cannot change the *Posts Tagged* wording from the widget.- **Letter Limit** in **Special Option** does not shorten the tag step.- **Current** set to Hide hides the tag step with CSS. The text is still in the page source.- The breadcrumb is plain navigation markup and adds no breadcrumb structured data for search engines.- The widget does not load Font Awesome, so the home and separator icons come out blank on an archive where nothing else loads it.

## Troubleshooting

### Nothing shows on the tag page

Tag archives use their own template. Add the widget to that template, or to the header template so it covers every page.

### The home step shows the wrong text

Change **Home Title** in the **Content** section.

### There is no separator between the two steps

Set **Select Icon** in **Separator Icon** to **Icon**. It is **None** to begin with.
