breadcrumbs

There are three ways you can add breadcrumbs. You can apply them via the Appearance > Customise interface. You can apply a shortcode via the HTML widget or the Text Editor widget. The shortcode is astra_breadcrumb in square brackets. And lastly, you can use the breadcrumbs widget.

site title, logo & tagline

A site’s title, logo and tagline are usually defined in the Customiser and then placed into a header. (You can also set the title and tagline in General Settings.) It is best to use a site widget (Site Title, Site Logo and Site Tagline) anytime you want to display site information so that if you decide to change one of these later, it will automatically update in the widget.
