Conflict Woodmart theme and Rank Math Breadcrumbs

Hello,

I apologize for the issue you are facing with the conflict between the Woodmart theme and Rank Math Breadcrumbs affecting the WooCommerce shop page’s product loading.

To resolve this conflict, you can modify the function in your Woodmart Child theme’s functions.php file to ensure compatibility with Rank Math Breadcrumbs. Here is the updated code snippet for the function:

/**
 * Rank Math breadcrumbs
*/
function woodmart_current_breadcrumbs( $type ) {
    if ( function_exists( 'rank_math_the_breadcrumbs' ) ) {
        rank_math_the_breadcrumbs();
    } else {
        $function = ( $type == 'shop' ) ? 'woocommerce_breadcrumb' : 'woodmart_breadcrumbs';
        $function();
    }
}

By updating the function in this way, you can maintain compatibility with Rank Math Breadcrumbs while ensuring that the correct breadcrumbs function is called based on the page type.

If you encounter any further issues or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out to us by replying to this ticket. We are here to help!

Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.

Hello,

In this case, kindly contact the support folks from Woodmart theme as they know best the structure of their theme. They should be able to assist you in inserting the breadcrumbs code in the desired location.

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

We are sorry to hear that.

This solution is as simple as adding one line of code in the right area of your theme file. You should notice that our breadcrumbs are displayed fine initially so there’s no issue when installing our breadcrumbs to their theme. It is just added to the undesired position.

I would suggest checking with their theme supports again and requesting on which specific line should you add the breadcrumbs code to display it in the desired position.

If Woodmart can’t help you with that, please revert back here and we’ll try to fiddle with the theme files and resolve this as best as we can.

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

We have found a way to implement our breadcrumbs by replacing the entries for the function woodmart_current_breadcrumbs() with rank_math_the_breadcrumbs().

We performed that change in the place for pages to test this and we can see our breadcrumbs being applied on a test page such as this one: https://test.javicar.ee/eritellimus-puittooted/

If there are missing replacements on layout files you may need to replace the function with ours to make sure the breadcrumbs come from Rank Math.

We tried to check all instances of the function but it’s possible that some are missing due to the sheer number of different implementations done by the heme.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
