Breadcrumb Error

    Hi,

    I’ve been using Yoast and want to give you a try. I installed Rank Math, deactivated Yoast, and everything seems to be working fine, except I’m getting breadcrumb errors for all my pages from Google Rich Results. All my pages have titles, and breadcrumbs were working fine (no google errors) using Yoast. I reviewed your help https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-fix-either-name-or-item-name-should-be-specified-error/ but that doesn’t fix the issue. For now, I’ve disabled breadcrumbs because google will keep those pages from being indexed.

    How can I fix this? I really don’t want to go back to Yoast… from what I’ve seen so far I want to use Rank math, and even get a subscription. But I have to know how to fix the breadcrumb issue…

    Here is the error:

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    Since you have already removed the breadcrumbs function, we’re unable to test your site and check the issue.

    In this case, we can take a closer look at the settings to test the breadcrumb’s functionality.

    I have re-enabled the breadcrumbs. You can check any page, they produce the same error in google rich results check.

    Example

    Hello,

    I checked the page, and the breadcrumbs that are showing the error are not added by Rank Math:
    no rank math

    All the Schema from our plugin goes inside a script tag with the class rank-math-schema.

    Please disable these breadcrumbs, they might be added by the theme or any other plugin.

    Then, enable Rank Math Breadcrumbs.

    Here is a guide for your reference:

    Hope this helps.

    We look forward to helping you.

    H and thanks for the help.

    I insert it into the header.php file, it works, but it appears in the body to the absolute left, no matter the size of the brwoser, even though my design restricts to 1400px.

    I’d rather the breadcrumbs be where the imagely theme has them, right below the title in the header. I can’t find another page to insert it.

    OK, I found the php page Imagely: page-header.php (partials/page-header.php), inserted, and now the breadcrumbs appear where I want them.

    example page:
    https://mansfieldphoto.com/fine-art-photography/

    However, the links do not work on the breadcrumbs. If you try to click home for example, nothing happens.

    Any ideas>
