Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
You can use Rank Math breadcrumb by using the Rank Math breadcrumb shortcode
[rank_math_breadcrumb]OR by adding the Rank Math breadcrumb PHP code to your website. Usually, you’ll need to add the code to yourheader.phporsingle.phpfile. If both of these places do. to work for you, then you’d need to reach out to your theme developer for help on exactly where to add the breadcrumb PHP code.For example, we added the Breadcrumb PHP code to your
single.phpfile and this is how it is displayed on your blog posts:This is the code we added to your
single.phpfile:if (function_exists('rank_math_the_breadcrumbs')) rank_math_the_breadcrumbs();We hope this helps clarify the issue. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
i see that the breadcumb in your screen shoot is under the image
when i add the code in the header.php the breadcumb comes above the the menu
how i can do that ?and if i use the single.php it will appear also in all pages or do i need to enter it on each page as a short code
Hello,
You can use shortcodes to add breadcrumbs to specific pages. However, if you want the breadcrumbs to show on all pages or posts, it’s best to implement them using PHP code.
In the screenshot above, I added the code in the
single.phpfile. You would need to contact your theme developers to find out the specific place to insert the code for it to display exactly where you want it to.We hope this helps clarify the issue. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
