Rank Math breadcrumbs: missing category on single posts

#1106910
  • On category archive pages, breadcrumbs display correctly (Home » Blog » Foods).
    On single post pages, the category segment is missing and a blank item appears:
    Home » Blog » » Post Title.

    This happens even when using [rank_math_breadcrumb] / rank_math_the_breadcrumbs() (so it’s not the theme/builder element). Each post has a Primary Category set. In Rank Math, Show Category(s) and Show Primary Category are enabled (Primary Taxonomy = Categories).

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the breadcrumbs on your single post pages. It seems that even with the correct settings in Rank Math, the category segment is not displaying as expected.

    Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

    1. Check Primary Category: Ensure that each post has a primary category set correctly. You can do this by editing the post and looking for the Rank Math Meta Box where you can select the primary category.

    2. Review Breadcrumb Settings: Double-check your breadcrumb settings in Rank Math:

      • Go to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Breadcrumbs and ensure that both Show Category(s) and Show Primary Category are enabled.
      • Make sure that the Primary Taxonomy is set to Categories.
    3. Clear Cache: If you are using any caching plugins, clear the cache to ensure that the latest changes are reflected on your site.

    4. Conflict Check: Temporarily disable other plugins to check if there is a conflict causing this issue. Sometimes, other plugins can interfere with how breadcrumbs are displayed.

    5. Custom Code: If you have added any custom code related to breadcrumbs, review it to ensure it’s not affecting the output.
