Widget Breadcrumbs & Icon

Widgets: Breadcrumbs

The Breadcrumbs widget can be added to a site so the site visitor can easily understand their location in a page's hierarchy and explore the site effectively, and as a result improve the site's SEO. The Breadcrumbs widget displays the site hierarchy on a trail based on the page the user is currently on. Breadcrumbs should not be used on sites with flat hierarchies (only 1 or 2 levels deep). In this case, the navigation bar can clearly indicates what section a page lives within. For information on adding widgets, see Add Widgets

Widgets: Icon

Widget Categories: Basic Select from a library of more than 1000 ready-made icons, or upload your own SVG file. You can change icon color, hover, background, border and more. Use icons to emphasize your text and balance the layout of your site. For information on adding widgets, see Add Widgets

📘

NOTE

  • SVG files can be resized without losing resolution.
  • SVGs are image files that contain HTML code, meaning when you add an SVG icon to your site you are also adding lines of code. Multiple complex SVGs can add thousands of lines of code and cause your site to load slowly. If you need to use multiple SVG icons on the same page, we recommend turning some of them into regular images (.png, .jpeg, etc) to avoid loading or functionality issues.

Add Icon Widget from Media Panel

The Media Panel allows you to add an icon and an icon widget to the canvas at the same time. Or, you can replace existing icons. To learn more about the Media Panel, see Media Panel.

  2. (Optional) Use the filters to help locate the desired icon. Or, click **Upload Media **to add a new icon.

  3. Type Alt text for the icon. Alt text enables search engines to recognize image content. Use text that clearly describes the image. Or, click the** Sparkle icon** to use the AI Assistant to generate alt text.
📘

NOTE

  • Alt text generated by the AI Assistant is in the same language as the page's current language.

FAQs and Troubleshooting

Why is the color of the icon not changing when I'm selecting a different color?

This issue is typically related to the way the file was originally created. The icon's color must be true black (e.g., hex code #000000). Additionally, the SVG needs to be exported with inline style.

Since SVG files can be made up of intricate code, it’s recommended to consult someone experienced with SVGs for any adjustments
