Dokuwiki has 2 types of breadcrumb style navigation. The default is “trace”– where the breadcrumb trail shows the pages a site visitor has gone to, in the order the pages are visited. (Tracking breadcrumbs.) The other option that can be selected is “breadcrumb”– where the breadcrumb shows the page location within the wiki. (Hierarchical breadcrumbs.)

Unfortunatly, the “You are here:” at the front of the hierarchical breadcrumbs is hard-coded into the core DokuWiki files. In addition, the colon (:) is not in the configuration file with the rest of the text. So the below can only change this leading text, and not remove it.

• The file to edit is → [root wiki directory]/inc/lang/en/lang.php
  • I searched for “youarehere”
  • Then I replaced the text “You are here” with the text “Wiki Location”
