Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the breadcrumbs not showing categories. To ensure that categories appear in your breadcrumbs, you need to enable the Show Category(s) option in the Rank Math settings. Here’s how you can do it:
- Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
- Navigate to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Breadcrumbs.
- Look for the Show Category(s) option and make sure it is enabled.
When this option is enabled, the breadcrumb will include the category just before the name of the post. For example, if you have a primary category set, it will appear like this:
Home / Knowledge Base / SEO Suite / Technical SEO / How to Enable Breadcrumbs on Your Website with Rank Math SEO
If you have multiple categories, the primary category will be used in the breadcrumb. If you wish to change the primary category for your post, you can refer to this dedicated tutorial.
If you have already done this and are still experiencing issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern!
