    Hello team,

    I have been using Rank Math but have to deactivate it for a certain task for now.
    So, I deactivated it but started to see [rank_math_breadcrumb] every post I have uploaded.
    And, I need it to be removed for now.

    What I have tried:

    1. Reactivated Rank Math > Untoggled the Breadcrumb > [rank_math_breadcrumb] still appears
    2. Requested AI chatbot > it says untoggling like the #1 doesn’t get [rank_math_breadcrumb] removed > but doesn’t find a solution to remove the breadcrumb above.
    The page I referred to for #2: https://rankmath.com/kb/breadcrumbs/#hide-taxonomy-name

    I’m using GeneratePress Child version 0.1.

    I checked in the WP file manager, but I did not find the rank-math.php file within.
    Based on this, the theme has not added the breadcrumbs support for Rank Math.

    I need the answer to removing [rank_math_breadcrumb] from every post I’ve made. Please help.

  • Hello,

    I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with the [rank_math_breadcrumb] appearing on every post after deactivating Rank Math. To remove the [rank_math_breadcrumb] from your posts, you can follow these steps:

    1. Check Theme Files:
      Since you mentioned that you couldn’t find the rank-math.php file in the WP file manager, it seems that the theme has not added breadcrumbs support for Rank Math. In this case, you might need to add a code snippet to remove the [rank_math_breadcrumb] manually.

    2. Add Code Snippet:
      You can add a code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file to remove the [rank_math_breadcrumb]. Here is a sample code snippet that you can use:

      /**
      * Function to remove Rank Math breadcrumbs
      */
      function remove_rank_math_breadcrumbs() {
         remove_action( 'your_hook_here', 'rank_math_breadcrumb', 10 );
      }
      add_action( 'init', 'remove_rank_math_breadcrumbs' );

      Replace 'your_hook_here' with the appropriate hook where Rank Math breadcrumbs are added in your theme.

    If you are unsure about adding the code snippet or need further assistance, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you promptly.

    Thank you for reaching out with your concern.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

    If we understand the issue properly, you have added the Rank Math breadcrumbs to your pages via shortcode, but now you have deactivated the Rank Math breadcrumb option and want the shortcode to be removed from your posts. Let us know if we didn’t understand the issue correctly.

    In this case, you would have to either go into your database to remove the shortcodes in bulk. Or you can use a search-and-replace plugin to search and replace the shortcode from your posts. Example plugins you can use include:

    Hello Great,

    Thank you for your advice.

    I tried the search-replace-wpcode plugin and found [rank_math_breadcrumb]; so I replaced it with blank but
    I still see [rank_math_breadcrumb] even after replacing it with blank through the plugins you introduced.

    What’d be a problem and how to fix this?

    Hello,

    Please use the following plugin and select the wp_posts table. https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/

    If it also doesn’t work, then you will have to manually remove the shortcode from the posts.

    Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
