    Hi – I have one specific category where I would like the breadcrumb category link to go to a specific page rather than the category.

    I spotted this ticket https://support.rankmath.com/ticket/how-to-change-link-on-breadcrumbs/ and I modified the code accordingly but it doesn’t work (it works without the IF statement that I added, so I assume I’ve got that part wrong). Could you tell me the correct code please.

    

/**
 * Allow changing or removing the Breadcrumb items
 *
 * @param array       $crumbs The crumbs array.
 * @param Breadcrumbs $this   Current breadcrumb object.
 */
if ( in_category('alternatives') ) {
	add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/breadcrumb/items', function( $crumbs, $class ) {
    	$crumbs[1][1] = '/alternatives'; // Add the desired URL
    	return $crumbs;
	}, 10, 2);
}

    Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    The filter you’ve tried to add will work too if you add the if condition inside the filter.

    However, here’s a customized filter below to change that category URL on breadcrumbs:

    add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/breadcrumb/items', function( $crumbs, $class ) {
	$categories = array_map( function ( $category ) {
		return $category->slug;
	}, get_the_category() );
	
	if ( in_array( 'alternatives', $categories ) ) { //replace 'alternatives' with your category slug
	   	$crumbs[1][1] = '/alternatives'; // Add the desired URL
	}
   	return $crumbs;
}, 10, 2);

    Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.
