Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.
If you want to customize the breadcrumbs for that category to be unclickable but still show on the breadcrumbs, you can use this filter on your site:
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/breadcrumb/items', function( $crumbs, $class ) {
if(get_post_type() == 'post' && is_single()) { //Change this to match the post type name
$crumbs[3][1] = '';
}
return $crumbs;
}, 10, 2);
The code above assumes that “Shop” is the first crumb. If you have “Home” as the first, you can update this line in the code $crumbs[4][1]
However, if you want to completely remove it, you can change the third line to this unset ($crumbs[3]);
If you’re not sure how to add this code, you can follow this guide:

Hope that helps.
Thanks, but structure is different for different categories, sometimes it’s 1>2>3>4 and someitmes 1>2>3. Can’t i filter specifically by category id/slug?
Hello,
The $crumbs variable is not a term object so you can only check the name or the URL.
You may try this modified code to only modify the preferred breadcrumbs:
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/breadcrumb/items', function( $crumbs, $class ) {
if(is_product()) {
for($i = 0; $i < count($crumbs); $i++){
if($crumbs[$i][0] == 'T-Shirts'){
$crumbs[$i][1] = '';
}
}
}
return $crumbs;
}, 10, 2);
If you need more than one category to exclude, you can add more condition statements like so:
if($crumbs[$i][0] == 'T-Shirts' || $crumbs[$i][0] == 'ANOTHER CATEGORY'){
$crumbs[$i][1] = '';
}
Hope that helps.
