Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Your approach is not recommended, I can suggest that you use the breadcrumb shortcode within your post content at the top if this is the area that you would like the crumbs to appear:
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
What an unhelpful reply. Fix your plugin. You’re going to ruin your credibility, along with a whole bunch of sites very quickly.
HI Dan,
Apologies if the previous response was not helpful and for any frustration caused.
This error seems to be specific to your site and thus it would be unfair to blame the plugin since other users are not reporting it.
1). The error reported on your search console ““Either “name” or “item.name” should be specified”” is not related to Rank Math since Rank Math breadcrumbs are not yet active.
It is likely that this error is coming from your theme and I would be happy to check this for you if you can share a link to the affected page.
2). To be able to activate the breadcrumbs from our plugin, you can either use the approach I suggested earlier ie copy the Rank Math shortcode on your post editor module in the location where you would like the crumbs to appear or copy the following code in single.php file on your theme:
<?php if (function_exists('rank_math_the_breadcrumbs')) rank_math_the_breadcrumbs(); ?>
I am looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Hi Dan,
Thank you for the instruction and I do understand that this Breadcrumb issue is coming from my theme, however I’m trying to fix it by using RankMath if possible.
I’ve added the code in my single.php file and waited for a couple of days to see if it can fix the issue but it’s still there. I see below errors in my Google Developer console
Either “name” or “item.name” should be specified
Missing field “position”
Below is a screenshot of the error for more info.
Any thoughts?
Hello,
From the issue you have mentioned, seems this is coming from Rich Snippets.
Can you please share a direct URL to a post so that we can check further?
Also, the screenshot you have shared is not added correctly. Can you please add that again too?
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Hi there,

Let me know if you need anything else.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
The page that is causing the error is also loading theme breadcrumblist schema. Please take a look at the following screenshot:
I can suggest that you get in touch with your theme author so that they help in removing the theme schema data.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Thank you Michael for checking that.
