Custom breadcrumb title from yoast ignored by product category pages

As you can see from my screenshot I defined a custom breadcrumb title for the category (Products > Categories > Edit Category). Unfortunately it is not reflected on the frontend.

Hello,

Could you please check how this option works with default WordPress theme to understand is it our theme related problem?

Thank you in advance.

It doesn’t seem theme related. However do you have an idea why this is? Of course I will ask Yoast.

Thank you!

Sorry, but we don’t have an idea why it doesn’t work.

I’ve found this code snippet which should be integrated into the theme. Where can I edit that in a safe way?

Do you consider supporting Yoast breadcrumbs in the core in the future?

You can edit our woodmart_breadcrumbs function in the file inc/template-tags.php and place your custom code there. We will consider implementing some option for this in our future updates.

Thank you very much! How do I make this customization safely?

Breadcrumbs are the bread and butter of seo so I think it is pretty important for all users – and I think all users are using yoast. Hope you will include it so we don’t have to hack the files and causing even more support time for you 😉

You can simply copy the whole function to your child theme functions.php file and then edit its content.

After looking at the template-tags.php file I see there that everything is already there but only the posttype of product and product categories is missing. So in “Blog” I can see the microdata markup but on products and product categories there is the usual html markup.

Could you please add the markup for woocommerce too since it is a woocommerce theme? 🙂

See your demo:

With markup: https://woodmart.xtemos.com/blog/2016/07/23/seating-collection-inspiration/
Without markup: https://woodmart.xtemos.com/shop/lighting/montes-scelerisque/

WooCommerce has its own breadcrumbs and it doesn’t have any markup for SEO. If you want, you can copy the file from plugins/woocommerce/templates/global/breadcrumb.php to your child theme woocommerce/ folder and place your yoast breadcrumb there.

I’m sorry but I don’t understand.

The official documentation talks only about functions.php editing not overriding template files: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/customise-the-woocommerce-breadcrumb/

Is possible without template modifications?

Where am I suppose to put the breadcrumb.php in the child theme directory? Into the root?

You can customize it as written in the documentation or you can do as we said and replace it completely with Yoast breadcrumbs function as you wanted initially.

You need to copy this file to the chile theme woodmart-child/woocommerce/global/ folder.
