[Resolved] Bread crumbs for non posts

[Louie]

My web site is static pages with no blog posts. In this article – https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-breadcrumbs/ it says to use the Post as a location. In my use case should I use Post or another such as Site, etc.?
Thank you.

Hi there,

Yup – you can add Page to the display rules as well.

Or try Entire Site if you want it on every page.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Thanks, Leo. Would entire site be better for SEO?

I think it depends on your site more than anything. It might not make sense to have breadcrumbs everywhere (404 page? etc..)

It’s worth trying though – see how it works on your site. You might end up excluding some areas.

May be a slight problem – After enabling, I only get the Home hyperlink to show up. Not the trail of breadcrumbs. Is there a way I can send a screenshot?

Hi there,

The page is there, its just not visible as its the same color as the background. So edit your hook element and change the hook to before_content. This will move it into the content area with the white background.

Now it shows in the content area but says: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/implement-wordpress-seo-breadcrumbs/

[Tom]

What’s the exact code you’re adding?

[Tom]

So you’re using this code in the Element?:

<?php
if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
  yoast_breadcrumb( '<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>' );
}
?>

No. I was using https://kb.yoast.com/kb/implement-wordpress-seo-breadcrumbs/ that I found here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-breadcrumbs/

Should I use: <?php
if ( function_exists(‘yoast_breadcrumb’) ) {
yoast_breadcrumb( ‘<p id=”breadcrumbs”>’,'</p>’ );
}
?>

[Louie]

I’m guessing yes. 🙂 I gave it a try. Now I just get the code on the pages.

<?php
if ( function_exists(‘yoast_breadcrumb’) ) {
yoast_breadcrumb( ‘<p id=”breadcrumbs”>’,'</p>’ );
}
?>

[Louie]

I also did this – NOTE: Depending on your theme you may or may not need to add in the beginning <php and ending ?> php tags. If you are not sure, your theme developer can help.

No luck.
