Incorrect breadcrumbs when enabling Rankmath

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the breadcrumbs on your WooCommerce webshop. It sounds like there may be a conflict with how the Kadence theme is handling breadcrumbs or how Rank Math is configured to display them.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Check Theme Compatibility: Ensure that your Kadence theme is fully compatible with Rank Math. Sometimes themes have their own breadcrumb functionality that can conflict with plugins. You can refer to the Kadence theme documentation for any specific settings related to breadcrumbs.

2. Disable Default WooCommerce Breadcrumbs: Since you are using WooCommerce, it’s important to ensure that the default WooCommerce breadcrumbs are disabled if you want to use Rank Math’s breadcrumbs. You can do this by adding the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

   /**
   * Function to disable WooCommerce breadcrumbs
   */
   function remove_wc_breadcrumbs() {
      remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_breadcrumb', 20, 0 );
   }
   add_action( 'init', 'remove_wc_breadcrumbs' );

3. Configure Breadcrumb Settings: Go to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Breadcrumbs and ensure that all settings are configured correctly. If you have not already done so, enable the breadcrumbs feature and adjust any relevant options.

4. Use Shortcode: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider using the Rank Math shortcode to manually add breadcrumbs to your templates. You can use the following code in your theme template files:

5. Clear Cache: If you are using any caching plugins, make sure to clear your cache after making changes to see the updates reflected on your site.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

Please share the URL of an affected page with us.

We look forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you.

Hello,

We can see that the Breadcrumbs on this page is added by the Kadence theme, not by the Rank Math.

In this case, can you please share the screenshots of the breadcrumbs with and without the Rank Math plugin so that we can check the issue further for you?

You can use any image-sharing tool like https://imgur.com/upload to share the screenshot with us.

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Please make sure that you’ve selected the product’s Primary Category as “Horeca koelkasten” and assuming its parent categories are also associated with the product page, Rnak Math should be able to render the correct sequence of breadcrumb items.

If that doesn’t work, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress login in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
