    Hello,
    I uninstalled Yoast yesterday and I’ve installed Rank Math. I noticed my breadcrumbs disappeared on my site… Makes sense as they were a Yoast widget. I’ve read the Rank Math tutorial and I’ve added them back in.

    It’s 90% working. For example, if you go on ppc service page the breadcrumbs will rightfully show home >> services >> ppc. Great!
    However, my blog breadcrumbs aren’t correct. It’s showing home >> category >> name of post. Whereas Yoast had it as home >> blog >> category >> name of post. My question is How do i add blog back into the breadcrumbs?

    My workaround is adding a new category called ‘blog’ and then editing my current categories so they are the child of the blog. Then going back into each post and ticking ‘Blog’ for the category (as well as the original category i want it to be in). Seems an extra step. Plus i don’t like how the blog now lives in a category named blog within another category. will that impact SEO?

    How do i get the breadcrumbs to display ‘blog’ (the name of the page’ without having to create and add them to a category called ‘blog’?

    Hello,

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

    You can also achieve it using custom code and Rank Math filters. I have created the code for you (you just need to check it and customize it), to use it just add it at the end of the functions.php file in your active theme:

    /**
 * Allow changing or removing the Breadcrumb items
 *
 * @param array       $crumbs The crumbs array.
 * @param Breadcrumbs $this   Current breadcrumb object.
 */

add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/breadcrumb/items', function( $crumbs, $class ) {
	if(is_singular('post')||is_category()){
		array_splice( $crumbs, 1, 0, array(array(
			"Blog",
			"https://yourwebsite.com/blog/",
			"hide_in_schema" => false
		)) );
        }
	return $crumbs;
}, 10, 2);

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
