Breadcrumb schema not working with Wordpress Flatsome Theme

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Breadcrumb schema not working on your WordPress Flatsome Theme. To ensure that Breadcrumbs are properly configured and the schema is generated correctly, please follow these steps:

1. Enable Breadcrumbs in Rank Math:

   • Navigate to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Breadcrumbs in your WordPress dashboard.
   • Activate the Enable Breadcrumbs function.
     

2. Add Breadcrumbs to Your Theme:

   • You can use the shortcode [rank_math_breadcrumb] to display breadcrumbs in your theme. Place this shortcode in the appropriate template file where you want the breadcrumbs to appear.
     

3. Check for Conflicts:

   • If you have other plugins or custom code that might be affecting the output of the breadcrumbs, consider disabling them temporarily to see if that resolves the issue.

4. WooCommerce Users:

   • If you are using WooCommerce, ensure that you disable the default WooCommerce breadcrumbs by adding the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

     function remove_wc_breadcrumbs() {
     remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_breadcrumb', 20, 0 );
     }
     add_action( 'init', 'remove_wc_breadcrumbs' );

5. Validate Your Schema:

   • After making these changes, use the Schema Markup Validator again to check if the Breadcrumb schema is now present.

If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, we recommend replying to your ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Please include your site URL in your reply for more accurate assistance.

Thank you for raising this concern! We’re here to help you resolve it.

Hello,

We can see the breadcrumbs schema when we tested the page using the Google rich results test tool: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results/result?id=z7nMtl7kdUDnAvD2rLDhWg

We can also see it using the schema validator only, that it is nested within the CollectionPage schema:

Nested schemas are not an issue, as the nesting of how the testing tool chose to categorize the schemas on the page. Search Engine bots read the entire schema data on the page.

We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns.

Thank you.
