Assign a custom link to a Taxonomy Archive in Rank Math Seo Breadcrumb

    Hey there,
    To my knowledge, it seems that wordpress does not support taxonomy archives which would allow to display all terms inside of a taxonomy. This is further reflected by the fact that creating a breadcrumb through rank math seo generates a simple string when it comes to displaying the taxonomy a term is featured in, while in the case of a custom post type, rank math seo generates a link to its archive.

    After some research, I have come to the conclusion that the only viable solution to display all terms within a taxonomy is to create a page with a slug that is identical to the one set for the taxonomy. This works well in most cases but when it comes to rank math seo’s breadcrumb, your plugin obviously cannot tell that a page is being used as the taxonomy archive, thus preventing the link from being used instead of the simple string.

    My question therefore is, how do I let Rank Math Seo know that a page has been created as an archive for all terms within a taxonomy ? If there is a way inside wordpress to create such a feature, i’d love to hear that (i’ve browsed WordPress’ Template Hierarchy for a .php file solution but couldn’t get taxonomy-{taxonomy-name}.php to work)

    Thanks for the help !

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Assuming you have created an archive page to show all the terms, you can add a custom code to your themeā€™s functions.php file to modify the breadcrumb output for this specific taxonomy.

    Hereā€™s a sample code snippet for the breadcrumb customization:

    add_filter('rank_math/frontend/breadcrumb/items', function ($crumbs, $class) {
	if (is_tax('your_taxonomy_slug')) {
		$crumbs[1][1] = 'your_page_slug';
	}
	return $crumbs;
}, 10, 2);

    Replace your_taxonomy_slug and your_page_slug with your actual slugs.

    This should help Rank Math SEO recognize your custom page as the archive.

    Let us know if that helps.
