Troubleshooting

General

Re-read the documentation and make sure you did everything correctly
Start with the simple options and only use the advanced options (e.g. Route-Bound Breadcrumbs) once you understand how it works

Try running php artisan package:discover to ensure the service provider is detected by Laravel

Make sure you register the breadcrumbs in the right place (routes/breadcrumbs.php by default)
- Try putting dd(__FILE__) in the file to make sure it's loaded.
- Try putting dd($files) in BreadcrumbsServiceProvider::registerManager() to check the path is correct
- If not, try running php artisan config:clear (or manually delete bootstrap/cache/config.php) or update the path(s) in config/breadcrumbs.php
Make sure the breadcrumb name is correct
- If using Route-Bound Breadcrumbs, make sure it matches the route name
To suppress these errors when using Route-Bound Breadcrumbs (if you don't want breadcrumbs on some pages), either:
- Register them with an empty closure (no push/parent calls), or
- Set missing-route-bound-breadcrumb-exception to false in the config file to disable the check (but you won't be warned if you miss any pages)

Make sure the path is correct
If so, check the file ownership & permissions are correct
If not, try running php artisan config:clear (or manually delete bootstrap/cache/config.php) or update the path(s) in config/breadcrumbs.php

Make sure you use {{ Breadcrumbs::render() }} or {{ Breadcrumbs::view() }}, not @include()
- If you do manually @include() a breadcrumbs view, ensure you pass the breadcrumb collection into it
