Breadcrumb shows wrong (menu) taxonomy after using WP All Import

    Hi,

    I have imported a bunch of posts into my website using WP All Import, including the attached categories. All are default WordPress posts and default categories (no custom posts/taxonomies).

    When I’m using this in my theme:
    <?php yoast_breadcrumb( '<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>' ); ?>

    Under ‘Taxonomy to show in breadcrumbs for content types’ I have set the option for ‘Post’ to ‘Category’.

    When I’m visiting a blog post now, the breadcrumb is:

    Home ? Mobile menu ? Title of my blogpost

    ‘Mobile menu‘ links to: xxxxx/?taxonomy=nav_menu&term=mobile-menu

    The only way to fix this is to edit the post, uncheck the category, check it again and saving the post. The breadcrumb works after that. Only saving the post without unchecking and checking the category is not working.

    What I already tried:

    • Saving the permalinks
    • Using the Yoast Test Helper to Reset Indexables tables & migrations

    We are sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with the breadcrumbs. We can imagine how that could be frustrating for you when seeing the breadcrumbs are showing the old category. Let’s see what’s going on here.

    This issue typically occurs when Yoast SEO has the old category in the Indexables tables and migrations. To clear the cache, you’ll need to reset the Yoast SEO Indexables tables and migrations by following the steps given below:

    • Install and activate Yoast Test Helper plugin;
    • Go to Tools → Yoast Test → Yoast SEO → Reset indexables tables & migrations options to reset it;
    • Run SEO data optimization from the SEO → Tools page.

    Let us know whether the issue persists after performing the above steps.

    Thanks for your quick response. I tried above steps, but it doesn’t work. The breadcrumb still shows a (random) term from the menu taxonomy instead of the actual category term.

    Hi @daveykj,

    It sounds like when you manually set the categories for a post, the breadcrumbs work as expected. So far, this is pointing to something going wrong during the import process.

    A WP All Import article on using the plugin with Yoast SEO mentions another plugin in order to get the taxonomies to import correctly. Have you installed their Yoast WordPress SEO Add-On for WP All Import?

    Since we’re not experts on this plugin, you may want to also contact their support just to make sure that you’re using the correct settings and we’re not missing something.
