Hello,
Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
You can activate the breadcrumbs setting in Rank Math from Rank Math > General Settings > Breadcrumbs.
Then add the Rank Math’s breadcrumbs code to your theme’s template files, and the breadcrumbs will appear on your website’s front-end accordingly.
/**
* Use the following code in your theme template files to display breadcrumbs:
*/
<?php if (function_exists('rank_math_the_breadcrumbs')) rank_math_the_breadcrumbs(); ?>
Paste the above code directly into your theme’s single.php or header.php wherever you prefer showing it.
Here is a guide that might help you:

Please note that some options are only available when you enable the Advanced Mode in Rank Math. If it’s not showing, you must have chosen to use the Easy Mode. Please follow the steps in this link to switch to Advanced Mode:

Hope that helps. Thank you and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.
Hi
You mention in your guide in red that other plugins that use breadcrumbs – Woocommerce does – need to be disabled before using this code. Please confirm before I proceed.
Many thanks

Could I use the plugin code snippets instead of altering the child theme functions.php file?
Hello,
You can use this code snippet in your theme’s function.php file to remove Woocommerce breadcrumbs from all pages:
function remove_wc_breadcrumbs() {
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_breadcrumb', 20, 0 );
}
add_action( 'init', 'remove_wc_breadcrumbs' );
Yes, definitely you can use Code Snippet Plugin. Here is a guide that may help you:

Hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Can I use the shortcode to create breadcrumbs based on main menu structure?
Thank you!
Hello,
After adding the code stated here, you can add the breadcrumb anywhere you want with the help of a shortcode. Just copy and paste this shortcode to the text editor of any post/page, and then Rank Math will pull the breadcrumb for that specific post/page.
Here is the shortcode:
[rank_math_breadcrumb]
I hope that helps you. Looking forward to your update.
Thank you.
The breadcrumb shows
Home – “specific content page”
How could I change it to:
Home – “main content topic” – “specific content page”
I appreciate your efforts!
Kind regards
Sigurd
Hello,

Make sure you have chosen your sub-category as your Primary Term in the edit panel of post.
