Wix Editor: Customizing Breadcrumbs on Your Mobile Site
4 min read
Breadcrumbs are a method of site navigation that displays a trail on your site. Depending on what you choose to display, visitors can see both the current page, as well as the homepage of your site. If your visitors click on a subpage, the main page is also displayed on the trail.
After you've added breadcrumbs to your site from the desktop editor, you can customize them for your mobile site. This lets you create a unique experience for visitors on mobile devices and doesn't affect your desktop site.
Important:
Breadcrumbs are not available to add as a mobile-only element. You can only add them from the desktop editor.
