Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with duplicate breadcrumb trails on your website’s frontend. This can happen for a few reasons, and we appreciate you providing details about your setup.
Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
-
Check Theme Settings: Some themes have built-in breadcrumb functionality that may conflict with Rank Math. Ensure that your theme does not have its own breadcrumb feature enabled. If it does, you may need to disable it.
-
Inspect Plugins: Sometimes, other plugins can also add breadcrumbs. Disable all other plugins except Rank Math to see if the issue persists. If the duplicates disappear, re-enable the plugins one by one to identify the conflicting plugin.
-
Custom Code: If you have added any custom code in your theme’s functions.php file or through a custom plugin, review it to ensure that it is not inadvertently calling the breadcrumb function multiple times.
-
Elementor Settings: Since you mentioned using Elementor, check if there are any Elementor templates or settings that might be adding breadcrumbs. Sometimes, templates can include breadcrumbs without you realizing it.
-
Debugging: You can enable debugging in WordPress to see if any errors are being logged that might give you more insight into the issue.
If after trying these steps the issue still persists, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can take a closer look at the problem. A human agent from our support team will be able to assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern, and we look forward to helping you resolve it!
I’m reaching out because I’m experiencing an issue where two identical breadcrumb trails are appearing on my site. Upon inspection, both appear to be generated by Rank Math, as they share the same .rank-math-breadcrumb class and identical structure.
I’ve checked my theme files and can confirm that I’m not calling rank_math_the_breadcrumbs() multiple times. I’ve also reviewed my functions.php and disabled all other plugins temporarily, but the duplicate breadcrumbs persist.
I’ve made sure that Rank Math’s automatic breadcrumbs are enabled, and even tried disabling them to manually control the output, but the issue remains unresolved.
Could you please help me determine what could be causing this duplication and how I can remove one of the breadcrumb instances without affecting functionality?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Hello,
Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
You may be adding the Elementor breadcrumbs module on the pages at the very top and that could cause the duplication.
You already have the breadcrumbs being outputted on the functions.php file from your child theme so you don’t need to re-add them via the Elementor page builder. However, since you mentioned that you have checked your functions.php already, we would like to check this further on your website’s WP admin but it seems the user access you shared is very limited at the moment. We can’t access the plugin list and the Rank Math settings as well.
Can you please elevate our access to admin so we can check further into the issue?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Try now =) I have deactivate bread crumbs now. So you need to re-activate it.
Hello,
We checked your website, and we can see the Breadcrumbs module is already enabled in Rank Math > General Settings > Breadcrumbs.
However, we are not able to see any Breadcrumbs in the frontend. If you’re still facing the issue, please share a screenshot with us using a tool like https://imgur.com/upload so that we can check this further for you.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
