Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.This is a usability enhancement suggestion. It is possible to do this now fairly easily by hand editing a theme.
There are several options that all themes have by default like whether or not the username and date will be shown on posts. A simple checkbox indicating whether or not the breadcrumbs should be displayed should be one of these options. It's a feature that a newbie user would expect to be there and it's simple enough to add.

rahulbile commentedHere's a patch against 8.x that adds an option to toggle display of breadcrumbs in global settings of themes.

Bojhan commentedI have no idea why this is needed, any theme can do it already - and over the last years I have not seen it requested a lot.

pfharlock commentedIt isn't needed per-se, it just makes building a site easier to do without having to customize the theme.
The request isn't targeted towards drupal power users who already know how to do this, it's aimed at wordpress/joomla users who expect these kinds of configuration options to be available from the UI.
is there a compelling reason to not have this functionality?
