Add arbitrary breadcrumb

Can you please verify the breadcrumbs settings from the Yoast SEO → Advanced → Breadcrumbs options to make sure you’ve configured it properly?

It seems like I dont have the option to add another breadcrumb as the home page: i can only add a textual prefix.

Thank you.

Hi,

We are not sure why “Home” fails to appear. We were able to get it outputted on our development site. See image: https://pasteboard.co/GPcG5xj.png.

Can you confirm you have installed Yoast SEO Breadcrumbs on the site? There needs to be special code added. This guide explains more: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/implement-wordpress-seo-breadcrumbs/

Hello,

yes I already have installed Yoast SEO Breadcrumbs on the site; wordpress is installed in the /forum/ directory.

I need to add a “superior level” (my website real homepage).

I only get the options you can see here:

The “prefix for the breadcrumb path” could be a nice option but it is impossible to make it work as a link to https://www.mysite.ext (as 1st breadcrumb).

Thank you.

If WordPress is installed in the /forum/ directory then it’s expected that the first breadcrumb point to /forum/ (WordPress isn’t aware of content outside of the installation folder).

Although there aren’t any plugin settings to modify the first breadcrumb, the Yoast breadcrumbs come with a lot of filters so you (or your developer) should be able to code a solution using them. You can find the relevant filters, for example wpseo_breadcrumb_links, in class-breadcrumbs.php.

Unfortunately, we can’t write the exact code for you, as this is beyond the scope of the support we can offer. If you’re in need of a developer to help you, we suggest you refer to Code Poet or Codeable.io.

I totally understand this would be beyond the scope of this support.

Thank you very much for the reply, the link, the concern.
