# Removing “You are here” in your Joomla 3 Breadcrumbs

[![](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/edu_joomla-3_breadcrumbs_you-are-here-is-shown.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/edu_joomla-3_breadcrumbs_you-are-here-is-shown.png)

If you are using the [breadcrumbs module](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/joomla/joomla-3/text-for-home-entry/) in Joomla 3, you may have noticed that the breadcrumbs’ pathway begins with a **You are here** pinpoint. If you don’t want this pinpoint to show, you can disable it within the breadcrumb module’s settings.

**How to disable the “You are here” feature:**

1. [Login to your Joomla 3 dashboard](/support/edu/joomla/how-to-log-in-to-administrative-dashboard/)
2. In the top menu, click **Extensions** and then click **Module Manager**.
3. Find and click on your breadcrumb module
4. [![You are here text does not show](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/edu_joomla-3_breadcrumbs_you-are-here-is-gone.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/edu_joomla-3_breadcrumbs_you-are-here-is-gone.png) Under the *Module tab* (or *Basic Options* tab, depending on your version of Joomla), find the **Show “You are here”** setting. Click **No** next to it, and then click the **Save** button in the top left of the page. After saving the changes, the pinpoint no longer shows in the breadcrumbs once the **Show “You are here”** setting is disabled.
