    Hi!
    To whomever is reading this, I hope you are doing well 🙂

    I am trying to configure my breadcrumb structure. right now, I have a category in my menu called “care sheets”. In it, I have subcategories called different names, like “Lizard”, “Snake”, or “turtle’. the problem is when I click the drop-down menu and click on, for example, lizard, the breadcrumb structure is Home >> Lizard. However, I want it to be Home >> Care Sheets>> Lizard, since Lizard is a subcategory of the Care Sheets category. When I click on just “Care Sheets”, it works and does (Home >> Care sheets).

    I already checked the breadcrumb settings in the general settings in Rankmath, but it is still not working…

    Thank you so so much
    -Michael

    Hello,

    I appreciate you reaching out to us regarding the breadcrumb structure on your website. I understand that you are facing an issue where the parent category is not showing in the breadcrumb trail when navigating to a subcategory.

    To ensure that the parent category is displayed in the breadcrumb trail along with the subcategory, you need to enable the "Show Category(s)" option in the Rank Math settings. This setting will include the category just before the name of the post in the breadcrumb trail.

    Here’s how you can enable the "Show Category(s)" option in Rank Math:

    1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
    2. Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Posts.
    3. Look for the option to set the Primary Taxonomy for your post type.
    4. Enable the "Show Category(s)" option.

    By enabling this option, your breadcrumb trail should display the parent category along with the subcategory as you navigate through your website.

    If you have already checked the settings and are still facing issues, please ensure that the primary category is correctly set for your posts. You can refer to our tutorial on choosing a primary category for detailed instructions.

    If you continue to experience difficulties with the breadcrumb structure, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for your understanding and patience.

    Best regards.
