    I am having an issue with the breadcrumbs.

    I want My blog’s structure like this, e.g.:
    Home > Blog post title

    But my blog is showing breadcrumbs like this
    Home > Category > Blog post title

    I am using the “Strip Category Base” feature to remove the category from my permalink.
    But somehow, it is not working with my breadcrumbs.

    Actually, I did this previously on some of my sites, but I could not remember how I did.

    How to hide category names from breadcrumbs?

    Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us.

    Please follow the below steps to remove the category from breadcrumbs:

    1. Enable the Hide Taxonomy Name option from your WordPress admin area > Rank Math > General Settings > Breadcrumbs.
      Hide Taxonomy Name Image
    2. Head over to your WordPress admin area > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Posts, and set the Primary Taxonomy to None.
      Image for Setting Primary Taxonomy to None

    This should remove the category from the breadcrumbs, if you still see the category, then try clearing your website and browser’s cache and see if the issue is fixed.

    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:

    I hope that helps. Thank you, and looking forward to your update.

    Thanks, those settings worked. But I found a workaround. I tried this filter, and this filter code also worked.

    /**
 * Allow changing or removing the Breadcrumb items
 *
 * @param array       $crumbs The crumbs array.
 * @param Breadcrumbs $this   Current breadcrumb object.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/breadcrumb/items', function( $crumbs, $class ) {
        // check if we are viewing single posts
	if(is_singular('post')){	
		//Unset elements with key 1
		unset($crumbs[1]);
                $crumbs = array_values($crumbs);
		return $crumbs; 
	}
	return $crumbs;
}, 10, 2);
