Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.
Could you please confirm if you wanted to show the Home – Shop only on the breadcrumbs of your child category pages?
If so, you can hide the parent category via disabling this option in Rank Math > General Settings > Breadcrumbs:
https://rankmath.com/kb/general-settings/#show-category
And here’s a filter you can use to hide the child category title:
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/breadcrumb/items', function( $crumbs, $class ) {
if(is_category('childcat')){
unset($crumbs[2]);
}
// And return the breadcrumbs
return $crumbs;
}, 10, 2);
Please update/customize the childcat to your actual child category slug, and the number in $crumbs[2] to match the desired result.
And here’s how to apply a filter on your site:

I hope that helps.
Thank you.
Hi there, Thanks for your reply.
No, that’s not what I mean. On the child page I only want to show the parent page in the breadcrumb.
So Home and Shop and child page should not be visible in the link.
Is this a bit clear?
Hello,
To add/remove items from the Breadcrumbs, please add the following filter to your active theme’s functions.php file:
/**
* 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 ) {
return $crumbs;
}, 10, 2);
Please let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you further.
Thak you
when I paste the code into a code snippet nothing happens. I’ve added a screenshot to show what I’m seeing now in the code snippet.
So you see home – Hijab – Jersey now. Jersey is a subcategory of Hijab category. Now I only want to show the Hijab page in the breadcrumb. So page Home and current subcategory page Jersey should not be visible.

Hello,
Please add the below filter to your website and see if it gives you the desired output:
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/breadcrumb/items', function( $crumbs, $class ) {
$cat = get_queried_object();
if ( !empty($cat->parent) ) {
$newcrumbs = array($crumbs[1]);
return $newcrumbs;
}
return $crumbs;
}, 10, 2);
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/breadcrumb/html', function( $html, $crumbs, $class ) {
$cat = get_queried_object();
if ( !empty($cat->parent) ) {
$html = str_replace(
'<span class="last">'.$crumbs[0][0].'</span>',
'<a href="'.$crumbs[0][1].'">'.$crumbs[0][0].'</a>',
$html
);
}
return $html;
}, 10, 3);
You can follow this guide to add the filter:

Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Thank you.
