Is it possible to display the full breadcrumbs ie 1 -> 2 -> 3 instead of 2 -> 3 only?

Can this be done to a sub site only instead of the whole farm?

Answer 1

SharePoint 2013 offers its own breadcrumb which is hidden by default. To enable the breadcrumb, we just need to make a small change in master page. Find the following snippet in your master page and change the following attributes: 'Visible' to true Remove the style="display: none" from the parent div. master page code snippet

After making the changes, save the master page. You will now see button in top . Clicking on expand button will show the default breadcrumb. default sharepoint breadcrumb image

We can then style this in our own way then.
