While breadcrumbs are an extremely useful navigation tool and help visitors of your Drupal site navigate around the site, you may want to completely remove the breadcrumbs.

To remove breadcrumbs from your Drupal web site you’ll need to remove a few lines of code from the page.tpl.php file that came with the theme. The location of the breadcrumbs varies depending on the theme; the lines of code to remove from page.php.tpl are as follows:

<?php if ($breadcrumb): ?>
<div id=”breadcrumb”>
  <?php print $breadcrumb; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

It is important to remove all the lines of code mentioned above, if not, there may be a problem with the theme functioning correctly.

Please keep in mind that if the above-mentioned breadcrumb code is removed from page.tpl.php, breadcrumbs will no longer be available at all. The breadcrumb code will need to be added back to page.tpl.php for breadcrumbs to work again.
