Issue
- Why DXP 7.0 > DXP 7.1 and DXP 7.2 Theme upgrade docs recommend removing the
<@liferay.breadcrumbs /> macro?
Resolution
- The Breadcrumb widget/macro are not deprecated and can be used normally on 7.2 DXP as well.
The removal of #breadcrumbs() macro from Unstyled Theme's portal_normal.ftl on 7.1 and 7.2 was decided because extending the Styled/Unstyled Theme with a Breadcrumb widget is a decision of developers, based on specific requirements (more SEO-oriented vs. more Accessibility-compliant, and so on): the Front-End Team decided not to affect such design decision by adding a pre-loaded a Breadcrumb in the default Theme template.
When such decision was made, it was also decided not to change the Theme template on 7.0, in order not to affect developers already relying on that existing design.
