yoast-seo-breadcrumbs theme support doesn’t override admin setting

Hello Eclev91,

Thanks for reaching out but we are having a hard time replicating.

First, can you let us know the specific theme you used in testing that does not declare yoast-seo-breadcrumbs support? Also, in your case, for which content type do you have the breadcrumbs archive title field not shown?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

We are going ahead and marking this issue as resolved due to inactivity. If you require any further assistance please create a new issue.

@maybellyne @devnihil I’ll be more specific.

– Use wp-cli to set up a new WordPress install (I don’t think the wp-cli part matters, but wp core download, wp core config ... and wp core install ... will do the trick)
– Double-check that Twenty Twenty-One theme is activated
– Add a custom post type with this code at the end of the Twenty Twenty-One functions.php file. This code was generated using wp scaffold post-type dog.
– Visit Search Appearance > Content Types, and see the Breadcrumb Archive Title field is available for the “Dog” content type
– Disable breadcrumbs via Search Appearance > Breadcrumbs
– Visit Search Appearance > Content Types, and see the Breadcrumb Archive Title field is unavailable for the “Dog” content type (expected)
– Add add_theme_support('yoast-seo-breadcrumbs'); to the end of the functions.php file for Twenty Twenty-One, the active theme
– See in Search Appearance > Breadcrumbs, the breadcrumbs enable/disable toggle is gone (expected)
– Visit Search Appearance > Content Types, and see the Breadcrumb Archive Title field is still unavailable for the “Dog” content type (unexpected)

Which means you cannot alter the breadcrumb title for a custom post type if the theme declares breadcrumb support, but the database option for breadcrumbs has them disabled.
