Breadcrumbs aren’t working properly

    If you notice the breadcrumbs on the link mentioned above, you’ll notice that the Review Category custom taxonomy isn’t linked. And that’s the default output of breadcrumbs I’m getting – when I’m using the RankMath’s breadcrumb shortcode or function.

    Would like to ensure that the whole path should have their respective links. Kindly suggest what can be done to fix it.

  • Hello,

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

    I have just checked https://domain.com/review-category/ but this link does not seem to exists on your site. It is returning a 404 error.

    Could you please check if there the category permalink has been modified for this taxonomy?

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    @Micahel : review-category is a custom taxonomy in that loans is a category and personal loans is sub-category of loans

    I’ve also recorded a video to better explain where i’m at – (link in sensitive area)

    What i’m trying to say is that I replicated the issue on new local installation with default WordPress theme. Can you help and suggest on how this URL can be edited or show its URL?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today and sorry for the delay.

    As I mentioned earlier, a category archive page for this taxonomy does not exist on your site and thus there is no page to link to on the breadcrumbs.

    You will need to add a custom archive for this taxonomy so that it can be shown on the breadcrumbs.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hello,

    In WordPress, taxonomies themselves do not have archive pages, but their terms do. For example, a custom taxonomy called “review-category” does not have an archive page, but its term “Loans” does. That’s the reason, the breadcrumb is not showing any link on the Review Category. Why and where do you want to redirect the Review Category?

    There is an option in Breadcrumb Settings, which you can use to remove the taxonomy name. Else, if you want to add a custom link on the Review category then you can use following filter: https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#change-remove-breadcrumb-items

    I hope that helps. If there is anything else, please let us know.

    Thank you.

    @Pratik – So from that logic, rankmath SEO breadcrumb shortcode should also generate the same breadcrumb to follow, right?
    but its not. I’ve made another recording, can you please see that to understand what i want to achieve and how Rankmath SEO Breadcrumb shortcode is producing different results.

    So basically on this URL structure ( https://www.domain.com/reviews/post-name/ ), the breadcrumb is generating as:
    Home -> Reviews -> Loans -> Personal Loans [And this is desired]

    and on custom post type taxonomy term page ( https://www.domain.com/review-category/loans/personal-loans/ ) the breadcrumb is generating as:
    Home -> Review Category -> Loans -> Personal Loan [Want to change it to the same as the desired one mentioned above.]

    Hello,

    On your site, Reviews is a post type and cash-usa-reviews is a post. Since the archive is enabled for Reviews post type, the breadcrumbs is showing the Reviews as a link on a single review page.

    From what I understood, you want to show the same Reviews link on reviews-category page? The category pages itself is an archive page, it’s not linked from another archive page like single post. So the Post type archive link is not needed on term pages.

    Still, if you want to show Reviews link on taxonomy pages, then you can use the following filter code: https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#change-remove-breadcrumb-items

    Please let us know if you need our help in adding the filter code. Thank you.
