breadcrumbs

    I finally added breadcrumbs to my site but I am wondering how to customize them a bit more. Some of my pages will have you are here: home/recipes/category/subcategory/recipe type etc/recipe name. Which is what I want. Most just have home/recipes/recipe name. Which isn’t what I want. I want to add more of the sub-categories that my recipes are in so readers see the other categories. How can I make this happen? If the recipes are connected to a few different categories shouldn’t those be showing up in the breadcrumbs? Thanks

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math.

    If you want to show the child/subcategory in the breadcrumbs, please go to the post/page and make the child category the primary term for that post/page:
    primary

    Enable the Show Categories option at Rank Math > General settings > Breadcrumbs > Enable Show Category(s)
    show categories

    Once done, clear the website cache.

    I hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.

    I will try that. I have my recipes set as recipe main category then other sub-categories are selected as well such as “fall baking” “apple recipes” etc. Some of my posts have more breadcrumb links than others and I haven’t set those as having other primary categories. Just wondering why they aren’t all the same.

    Hello,

    Let us know how this goes.

    As my colleague said for showing the breadcrumbs properly you have to set the recipe’s Sub Category as Primary. In addition to that, you also have to disable the Hide Post Title option by going Rank Math > General Settings > Breadcrumbs , and then scrolling down you will find the option. By this, all your recipes post will be shown in breadcrumbs in this rule.

    Hide Post Title

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    I can’t find where to set the sub categories as primary. When I hover over the subcategory under the main recipe category I don’t get the option to choose that as primary as seen in your screen shot.

    Hello,

    To enable the primary term options, head over to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Post Type and select the Categories as Primary Taxonomy

    Primary

    Once done, you can select the child/subcategory to set for your breadcrumbs.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you.
