Problem with breadcrumbs – links not active on a specific page

Hi @alexprs7

Can you kindly update the Yoast SEO to 23.1 and then check if the issue exists?

We recommend creating regular backups of your site and database for your site’s health and safety. A backup is crucial before installing, updating, or removing plugins and provides you with a safety net if something were to go wrong. Learn more about the benefits of regular backups.

If the issue persists, can you kindly share with us the URL where you are facing the issue?

Hi,

Please find the link

Could you help me resolve the problem?

Best regards,

Thanks for sharing, @alexprs7. I see what you described, which doesn’t happen on a?similar page. Could you edit both pages and carefully compare what’s different in how they were created?

Do keep us updated

Hi, Thank you for your feedback but there is no difference, the two have the same parent page, the only difference is the ranking order 1 for the link that does not work and 3 for the one that does. I don’t understand where the problem comes from, could you please help me resolve it?

We active the latest update 23.2.

Best regards,

Hello @alexprs7

Since you do not have an active Yoast SEO Premium subscription, please deactivate and uninstall it. Then, update to Yoast SEO Free v23.3

the only difference is the ranking order 1 for the link that does not work and 3 for the one that does.

I re-created a similar scenario locally, but the breadcrumbs link work as expected. Please try the following:

1. Install & activate the?Yoast Test Helper plugin
2. Go to Tools > Yoast Test
3. Locate the Yoast SEO section and click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations‘, ‘Reset Prominent words calculation‘, and ‘Reset Internal link counter‘ buttons. After each click, the page will reload to confirm that the specific reset was successful.
4. Go to SEO > Tools, and under SEO data, click the “Start SEO data optimization” button to allow Yoast to rescan your content.

Please let us know if the reported issue remains after resetting the optimized data.

Hi,

Thank you for your response. One of our external providers uses Yoast SEO Premium, but I do not have control over the premium version. I would like to follow the steps you mentioned. Could you please confirm that they will not impact the optimization work done by our provider using Yoast SEO Premium? I do not wish to alter their work.

Best regards

Hi @alexprs7

Kindly know that, resetting indexables will not reset/impact the data from Yoast SEO Premium.

However, we recommend creating regular backups of your site and database for your site’s health and safety before you start the procedure. A backup is crucial before making important changes on your website and provides you with a safety net if something were to go wrong. Learn more about the benefits of regular backup

Hello,

my problem is not resolved I encounter a problem in step 4: “Go to SEO > Tools, and under SEO Data, click on the “Start SEO data optimization” button to allow Yoast to reanalyze your content.”

A failure appears during data optimization, I receive the following message “Oops, a problem occurred and we could not complete the optimization of your SEO data. Please restart the processing. If the problem persists , please contact support.

Below are the technical details of this error. See this page for a detailed explanation.

Error details
Status code” No status code is displayed. I deactivated the WordPress debug and deactivated the web firewall but no result.

Can you help me resolve the issue?

Hi @alexprs7

When you see the SEO data optimization fails, can you kindly check the console area and see if any error is reported there? You can follow How to find JavaScript errors with your browser’s console?

If yes, please provide us with screenshots that highlight the issue you are experiencing in the console. You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website.

Hello @alexprs7

As mentioned previously, deactivate and uninstall Yoast SEO Premium because your website doesn’t have an active Yoast SEO Premium subscription. Next, only have Yoast SEO Free v23.4 running. Then, retry the troubleshooting steps we provided.

Please tag me if the breadcrumbs issue continues after successfully completing the SEO data optimization.

Hello,

My problem is not resolved, I cannot deactivate Yoast SEO premium because it is used by a member of our team.

Could you give me a solution because this page does not work with breadcrumbs.

In Yoast SEO > Tool > Start Data Optimization, I still encounter an error.

However, I followed the previous steps.

Best regards,

This forum is reserved for supporting the free version of Yoast SEO. Since your site is using a premium plugin, albeit outdated and without a subscription, this thread has been marked as resolved per the forum guidelines.

If you do not have an active premium subscription, you can either purchase a subscription or downgrade to the free version.
