    Hello @chrisbsa

    Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin. That’s looks like the breadcrumb, appearing on the homepage. Temporarily deactivate Yoast SEO, do you still see it?

    I await your response.

    Good day Maybellyne

    Thank you for your reply. You are 100% correct…it dissappeared when i deactivated Yoast. May i ask how to fix it. I sincerely appreciate it.

    Thanks for the confirmation, @chrisbsa.

    Can you confirm if you used the Yoast SEO breadcrumb block on the homepage? See screenshot. Alternatively, edit the homepage and take a full screenshot of what it looks like. 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. Once you upload it to an image-sharing service, please share the link to the image here.

    As an addendum, @chrisbsa, ignore my recent response. I tried replicating your setup by installing the free version of your theme, Polestar. It’s great that the theme supports Yoast SEO breadcrumbs by default. If you turn OFF the breadcrumb feature in WordPress > Yoast SEO > Settings > Advanced > Breadcrumbs > Enable breadcrumbs for your theme, the breadcrumb is removed from the homepage.

    However, this also affects other pages and posts too. If you want to remove the breadcrumb from the homepage only, it will require some custom code which you or your developer can do. You can refer to this.

    Good day @maybellyne

    You are spot in…when i disabled breadcrumbs for my theme…the “home” text dissappeared :-). I also noticed something strange: when i click to Yoast SEO > Settings > Advanced > Breadcrumbs …and then browse for “Anchor text for the home page”…there i see “home” but when i delete it…then it some how defaults to “Home page”.

    I also did something, when i right click on the text and “view page source” i see the code: <span class=”screen-reader-text”>Home</span> …can i just delete this code? (but i dont know what the file name is to browse to delete this code)

    thank you. You really have gone the extra mile. Thank you

    Hi @chrisbsa

    You are asking how you can remove the statement <span class=”screen-reader-text”>Home</span>

    Your question is a bit outside the scope of our support. The support team is here to help you with questions about the setup and basic use of the plugin. As much as we’d love to help, is beyond what we can do for our users.
