[Resolved] Breadcrumbs with Yoast not working for me

[Norman]

Hello,

Wondering if you can help with putting breadcrumbs in? It worked with my previous theme and yoast, but can’t seem to get it to work with GP –

Followed directions from this page on yoast: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/implement-wordpress-seo-breadcrumbs/
Added this code: <?php
if ( function_exists(‘yoast_breadcrumb’) ) {
yoast_breadcrumb( ‘<p id=”breadcrumbs”>’,'</p>’ );
}
?>

Used the info from the GP documentation here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-breadcrumbs/

Here’s what I get: https://www.screencast.com/t/i3j2VmsSXv

Any ideas how I can fix this? It “seems” I’ve done things correctly, but evidently not.

Sorry, but I sent a protected article link. The one below should work for you to be able to see the error I’m getting:

Hi there,

This should help:

Let me know 🙂

[Norman]

So there is shortcode to add too? I don’t see that anywhere in the directions. Thanks for pointing me to this, but so far, I can’t get it to work.

(Not sure if I should respond on that post, or this one)

Instead of the code that you are currently adding, try adding just the shortcode:

Let me know 🙂

[Norman]

I’m adding this shortcode: [wpseo_breadcrumb]

Nothinng is coming up for me and I do have Yoast activated and I don’t use caching.

[Leo]

Weird. It should work by default.

Then add your original code, then check to execute PHP instead.

[Norman]

Hmm… I can’t get that to work either:

No breadcrumbs show up.

[Leo]

Can you activate the parent theme temporarily and see if it makes a difference?

If not you will likely need to check with Yoast’s support. I don’t see their code showing up at all with either method so something.

[Leo]

I also see some console errors:

Might be good to disable all plugins except GP Premium and Yoast to test as well.

[Norman]

I would rather not activate the previous theme. It gave me much trouble although the breadcrumbs did work.

I’m waiting to hear back from Yoast on a possible answer.

[Leo]

I’m referring to parent theme and not the previous theme 🙂

Looks like you are using a child theme, try activating the parent theme.

[Norman]

Sorry. For some reason, Breadcrumbs was not activated in Yoast. I thought it would be fine, but perhaps when installing a new theme, it deactivates first.

My bad!

Appreciate your help.

[Leo]

No problem 🙂
