How to remove a CRUMB from the breadcrumbs?

  • I have successfully integrated the WordPress SEO breadcrumbs into my (development) site – but there is a problem with the breadcrumbs that I am unable to find a solution for after extensive searching.

    Please see this page as a reference

    What I actually see: Courses ? Products ? ADMS 2320 ? Chapter 6 | Probability

    The product base “Product” has been inserted and is confusing the overall hierarchy of the crumbs. I would like to not display that particular crumb – without actually removing the product base itself from Woocommerce (which I understand to have ruinous consequences).

    Is there a line of code – perhaps in class-breadcrumbs.php – that could stop any instance of “Products ?” from being displayed?

  • I also have the same problem.

    I would like 1 of 2 options:

    1: The “Products” crumb link to rename to “Shop” or
    2: Entirely deleted from breadcrumbs

    The “Product” is confusing and I’m scared it is bad for SEO.

    To remove a crumb, you can use the wpseo_breadcrumb_links filter.
    It will provide you with an array of the basic crumbs. You can then (conditionally) remove the crumb you don’t want and return the resulting array and WPSEO will handle the rest.

    To rename the crumb if it’s a page/post, you can use the wp_seo_get_bc_title filter which will provide you with the title and the post ID. You can then change the title and return it.

    To rename the crumb if it’s anything else, you should have a look at the wpseo_breadcrumb_single_link filter which will give you a fully formed html snippet for a breadcrumb link and an array of information the link was based on. You can then of course either conditionally change the link or build a new one based on the info array. Return the new/changed link snippet to make it work.

    Hope this helps.
