How to hide breadcrumbs and surrounding markup.

    In older versions of Yoast WordPress SEO you were able to just check if the breadcrumb function exists, if it does not exist (breadcrumbs disabled) it would hide surrounding markup.

    Below example seemed to fix this for me.

    <?php

	$yoast_option = get_option( 'wpseo_internallinks' );

	if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') && $yoast_option['breadcrumbs-enable'] && !is_front_page() ):
?>
		<div id="breadcrumbs" class="row-fluid">
			<div class="span12">
				<?php
					yoast_breadcrumb('<ul>', '</ul>', true, array(
						'sep' => '>',
						'prefix' => '',
					));
				?>
			</div>
		</div>
<?php endif; ?>

    Figured this might help someone after the update to 1.5.2, the behaviour seemed to change.

    Same here. Seems that the ‘yoast_breadcrumb’ function always exists now, and the only way to check if breadcrumbs are enabled or not is using the wpseo_internallinks[‘breadcrumbs-enable’] option.
    Not a big issue, but it’s weird and not documented in author site

    Your conclusions are correct. The plugin now uses auto-loading in a way that it will only load the needed classes if and when they are needed (leaner=faster). This includes the breadcrumb class.

    What you are doing is good. However, you could also choose to pass the complete surrounding html to the yoast_breadcrumb() function and it will do that check for you.

    <?php

	if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') && !is_front_page() ):
		yoast_breadcrumb(
			'
		<div id="breadcrumbs" class="row-fluid">
			<div class="span12">
			<ul>',
			'
			</ul>
			</div>
		</div>',
			true
		);
<?php endif; ?>

    Oh and I’m not sure what you are trying to do with passing the array. yoast_breadcrumb() only has three parameters, so the array (= fourth) will be disregarded. And no, this was not a recent change, I just checked the code history and it never was there or at least not since the move to GitHub in 2012.

    Yes the code is old, we don’t actually use it anymore but it is present in a couple of themes, which is why we check if the option is off in the admin.
