Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the breadcrumbs on your WordPress site. Thank you for providing detailed information about what you’ve already tried.
Since you are using the Miniva theme, which does not have native support for Rank Math’s breadcrumbs, and you mentioned that the Block Theme directions did not work for you, here are a few additional suggestions:
-
Custom Code in Functions.php: You can manually add support for breadcrumbs in your theme by editing the functions.php file of your Miniva theme. You can add the following code to enable breadcrumbs:
add_theme_support( 'rank-math-breadcrumbs' );
After adding this, you can use the following code in your theme template files to display breadcrumbs:
This will require access to your theme files via FTP or your hosting provider’s file manager.
-
Using Shortcode: If you cannot find an option to add a shortcode in your page builder, you might want to try adding it directly into a text widget or a custom HTML block if available. The shortcode is:
[rank_math_breadcrumb]
-
Contact Theme Support: Since the Miniva theme does not seem to support the features you need, consider reaching out to the theme’s support team. They may provide guidance on how to integrate Rank Math’s breadcrumbs or suggest an alternative approach.
-
Switching Themes: If possible, consider switching to a theme that is known to be compatible with Rank Math. This could save you time and effort in troubleshooting.
If these suggestions do not resolve your issue, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and assist you further. We’re here to help!
Hello,
Depending upon the theme you use, the theme file where you should add the breadcrumbs function would vary.
In this case, we recommend getting in touch with your theme provider and sharing the code in this guide to so they can help you insert it in their files:

OK – I just input the link
Hello,
We don’t have access to Theme File Editor and also can’t make changes to the files using a file manager plugin. Please share FTP access to allow the Theme File Editor access so we can assist you further.
Looking forward to helping you.
So, I don’t know what FTP access is. Might it be via our hosting site, A2Hosting?
If you can confirm that, I can send you that login info.
Hello,
You can ask your host to share FTP access to your site or share the login details of your hosting panel so we can use the File Manager to access site files.
Looking forward to helping you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
I just added the A2Hosting login info.
I do have one more question. Can you check that both the domain luckydreamerlodge.com AND the subdomain blog.luckydreamerlodge.com have the necessary RankMath info that is needed for breadcrumbs? I haven’t switched to RankMath on the main domain yet, but that will be next, after I am sure that the breadcrumbs start working on the subdomain.
Hello,
We added the snippet from earlier to your theme’s single.php file and the breadcrumbs now reflects on the frontend.
Please see images in the sensitive data section.
Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
thank you! The live blog pages look great now with the breadcrumbs!
Do you know if I need them for the main domain page as well? Or changing in the one place will take care of it?
I haven’t switched from YOAST to RankMath yet on the main domain, luckydreamerlodge.com – but I will do that within the next few days.
thank you again,
Cheryl
Hello,
That is the recommended and default breadcrumbs display.
Your homepage does not need to display the breadcrumbs as it is the starting/landing page.
The breadcrumbs help your users/visitors to navigate your website’s hierarchy structure, so there’s no need to display it at the start of your site.
Looking forward to helping you.
What about the other pages of the website? I’m guessing because there are menus at the top & bottom of each page, that breadcrumbs are not needed?
