How do I modify the breadcrumb navigation bar for Confluence from fixed to relative?
Asked by Aaron Chandler:

When editing a Confluence page the breadcrumb navigation bar blocks a portion of the editor toolbar buttons. I don't know how to modify the CSS for the entire site to make it relative so its above the editor toolbar buttons and not on top of it.

Could you provide me with a screenshot of the issue and let me know what version of Confluence you're using?

Thank you!

Here's the extreme version of what happens sometimes. Because the breadcrumb is so long, it's covering over the editor toolbar buttons. I know how to temporarily make the breadcrumb relative instead of fixed, but am not as savy with CSS modifications for the entire site.

Thanks.

That doesn't look like the native Confluence breadcrumbs. It looks a lot like this add-on:

* [Breadcrumb Navigation Bar for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.syllant.atlassian.confluence.plugins.bnb/server/overview)

This is probably the reason it's overlapping your edit menu, since it's a 3rd party add-on.

I've tagged the product on this question, but the developer will likely need to tell you what to do.

I went to their page in Bitbucket, and they do mention how you can change the location of the bar:

* [Breadcrumb Navigation Bar Wiki](https://bitbucket.org/syllant/breadcrumb-navigation-bar/wiki/Home)

> UI customization {#toc-hId-1789638334}
> --------------------------------------
>
> By default, the Breadcrumb Navigation Bar is displayed below the header. You can customize its location by specifying it explicitly somewhere in your templates:
>
> * insert the `"<ul id="breadcrumb-navigation-bar></ul>"` element in your template files
> * or customize a theme or some pages using the `"breadcrumb-navigation-bar"` macro.
>
> To ensure the bar will be only displayed for these definitions, you will have to configure the activation mode in space settings: choose "Manual" instead of "Auto".
>
> Of course, you can also customizing styles of the bar by overriding CSS rules.

I hope that helps, but the developer should also see this question if they're watching the tags for their product, so they may be able to provide further details.

Shannon

Is possible to do the same in cloud, You know [@Shannon S](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/510046)?

Thank's


author: Shannon S
body: [@Eduard Diez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1512631) Unfortunately the vendor of that add-on has not made it available for Cloud.

I'm not aware of a replacement add-on for this to use with Cloud, but I would encourage you to raise a question in the Marketplace Apps collection and see if other users know of a solution for you to use with Cloud.

Regards,

Shannon
