Hi, done the breadcrumb setting in Rank Math but the breadcrumb format displayed is not as expected. May you please advise? Thanks.
Expected:
Home/Category/Sub-Cat/Post
or
Home/Folder/Sub-folder/FileIn the past (20 years ago…) when I made websites, I put html files into different folders and then FTP, and the breadcrumb and url simply show as home/folder/file name. I am new to wordpress and Rank Math nowadays. And I find that the html are automatically shown as website/year/month/.html but year & month folders are not found when I open my website via FTP.
Please kindly help and advise. Thanks.

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.
I’ve checked your site, and it seems that the breadcrumbs is not coming from Rank Math. It could be coming from another plugin or the active theme on your site.
To determine that, please follow the steps on this link:
https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/Let us know how this goes.
Thank you.
Hi, thanks for teaching that plugin. Tried to go thru it and the issue still exists. May you please help? Thanks.
Hello,
In this case, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello,
Thank you for that information.
I’ve checked your site using the Health Check plugin, and your theme (Qi Child) is adding the breadcrumbs to your site.
If you wanted Rank Math to handle your website’s breadcrumbs, you may need to get in touch with your theme developer to disable it. Also, you can ask for assistance to put the Rank Math breadcrumbs code on your theme’s files here:

Thank you.
Hi, Thanks for your help. I have disabled the theme-breadcrumb. I have tried to add the code accordingly but it doesn’t work. Please kindly assist in Rank Math breadcrumb code with the temp login. Thanks.
Hello,
I logged into your website’s admin area and found that your child theme was importing the template parts from your parent theme and the child theme had only a CSS and a functions.php file. You added the breadcrumbs code in the CSS file which would not work.
I went ahead and have added the breadcrumbs code in the
header.php
file of your parent theme and the breadcrumbs are visible on the website.You can configure and customize the breadcrumbs by following this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/breadcrumbs/
Hope this helps.
Thank you.

Hello,
1. I want to breadcrumb to look like
You are here: Home » Coffee Machine Review » Keurig » K-Express
How to make it? Can I change color too?I checked your breadcrumbs and they are set to display as you stated. To change the colors and styling around your breadcrumbs, you will need need to target the correct CSS classes
2. I find the breadcrumb in post link is not like the subcategory link. Why? How to fix it?
Subcategory link:I fixed the single post breadcrumb to show the parent category. To do this, I navigated to Rank Math > General Settings > Breadcrumbs and toggled off: “Hide Post Title”. Screenshot:
3. Regarding Child Theme problem, actually I follow this link to use the plugin create the Child Theme but only css and functions.php are created while header.php is not found when codes need to be input into it.
The initial child theme only needs the functions.php and style.css files. If there are any missing files that need to be customized, please copy them from the parent theme and paste them into the child theme before editing them. The child theme is there to avoid situations where an edits/changes made in a theme file are overwritten by an update. Child theme files will not be overwriten by an update.
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have questions.
Hello,
Thanks for your clear reply and help. I have updated the sensitive data that the breadcrumb does not wrap text when the length is longer than the cell phone screen. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello,
The following CSS will unhide the breadcrumbs overflow and enable wrapping:
.site-breadcrumbs.clr.position-under-title { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; overflow: visible; }
If the customizer is available for your theme, you can add the CSS by visiting the page: https://mycoffeewiki.com/wp-admin/customize.php and click “Additional CSS” then add the code in there.
Hope that helps. If you have questions, ask away.
Thanks, it works. What if I would like to Hide Title and put the breadcrumb somewhere above/below the H1? How to make it? Thanks.
Hello,
To change the position of the breadcrumb element you will need to edit a theme template file. The exact name and location of the template you need to edit varies depending on the theme you are using. It may be the header.php file for some older themes. For newer themes you may need to open your theme editor or full site editor (FSE)
Hope that helps. please let us know if you have questions.
Hey, got it. Thanks for building up my knowledge that depends on the which theme I am using, so that I change the theme to Astra that allows me to select breadcrumb position and use Rank Math’s to override its default one.
