Bring back the BreadCrumb in SharePoint 2013

HI All,
 Today we will see how to add the breadcrumb in SharePOint 2013. To know about BreadCrumb, Please check here.

It seems like this feature has been removed in SharePoint 2013. But the real fact is that this BreadCrumb trail has been hidden from the End Users.

OK lets see how to get back the same.

1.Open your site with SharePoint designer

2.Navigate to All Files -> _catalogs -> master page

3.Edit the Seattle.master in advanced mode and copy all the code

4.By default it’s not possible to edit the original master. To create a new one click on File -> Blank Mater Page

5.Check out the new master, edit it in advanced mode, delete all the existent code and paste the one from the original Seattle

6.Search for <div class="ms-breadcrumb-dropdownBox" style="display:none;">
 Remove the CSS attribute, style="display:none;

7.Two lines bellow change the visible attribute of the SharePoint:PopoutMenu to true.

So Finally the code should look like,
<div class="ms-breadcrumb-dropdownBox">
<SharePoint:AjaxDelta id="DeltaBreadcrumbDropdown" runat="server">
 <SharePoint:PopoutMenu
  Visible="true"
  runat="server"
  ID="GlobalBreadCrumbNavPopout"


Thanks for your time. See you back on my next post.
