Breadcrumbs didnt work and broke the site

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the breadcrumbs on your site. To help you add breadcrumbs without causing any problems, please follow these steps:

1. Enable the Schema Module: Go to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO and ensure that the Schema module is enabled. This allows Rank Math to add the necessary Breadcrumb Schema.
   

2. Configure Breadcrumbs Settings: Navigate to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Breadcrumbs. If you don’t see the settings, make sure you’ve switched to the Advanced Mode in Rank Math.
   

3. Enable Breadcrumbs: In the Breadcrumbs settings, enable the breadcrumbs function. Once enabled, additional settings will appear for further customization.
   

4. Add Breadcrumbs Using Shortcode: You can also add breadcrumbs anywhere on your site using the shortcode . Just copy and paste this shortcode into the text editor of any post or page where you want the breadcrumbs to appear.
   

5. Check for Theme Compatibility: Ensure that your theme supports Rank Math’s breadcrumbs feature. You can check this under Rank Math SEO → Status and Tools → System Info → Active Theme. Look for rank-math-breadcrumbs in the theme features.
   

If you continue to experience issues or if the site breaks again, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,

If you want to add the breadcrumbs only on your single posts/pages then you can add the code on the single.php file.

In case, you want the breadcrumbs to appear on your whole website including your single posts/pages and your taxonomies then you can add the code to your header.php file.

Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.

Hello,

For optimal performance and flexibility, we recommend using the PHP code to add breadcrumbs, as it directly integrates with your theme. However, if you’re unfamiliar with theme editing, the shortcode is also a reliable option and easier to manage. Both methods work effectively, so choose the one that best suits your setup.

Hello,
