Wrong display of the category in breadcrumb after the last update

Hi,

Please do update to the latest version of Yoast SEO for WordPress 15.1.2.

Could you then confirm that you’ve already implemented the Yoast SEO breadcrumbs as per here — https://yoast.com/help/implement-wordpress-seo-breadcrumbs/

Could you then provide us with some screenshots and more details on the breadcrumbs issue you’ve set for one of your posts and where it isn’t showing the correct category in the breadcrumb path?

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

From what I see the latest version is 15.1.1.
I also made this update, I implemented breadcrumb correctly in single.php:
___________
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<article id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>>
<?php
if ( function_exists(‘yoast_breadcrumb’) ) {
yoast_breadcrumb( ‘<p id=”breadcrumbs”>’,'</p>’ );
}
?>
<div class=”article-inner <?php …..
_______________
I also attached the screnshot (see here LINK SCREENSHOT) with the yoast breadrcumb behavior after the update to 15.1.1. In the attached image (1) I entered breadcrumb with the help of the shortcode, to show that it behaves identically.
The correct association is in image 2 where I use yoast 13.5.

Thank you!

Hi @scorilo,

Just to confirm, can you please take the breadcrumb code outside from the WordPress loop of the single.php and paste it in the relevant place, most commonly below the post title? It appears breadcrumb inside the loop is causing the issue.

Does the issue resolve?

I tried, no matter where I put it, the behavior is identical.

I even removed the breadcrump code from any php file and left only the shortcode. Identical, displays incorrectly.

For testing purposes I installed another SEO plugin (R.M.) which has the same system for entering breadcrumb, ie through php code in exactly the same place where I put the code from Yoast. RM displays my breadcrumb correctly.
So … it’s not because of where I placed the breadcrumb function. As I said in the previous post, I put on a default wordpress theme, it behaves the same.

Thank you!

I mention that this behavior is not valid for all posts. In some it is displayed correctly.
I couldn’t identify a pattern, that is … what the wrong ones have in common, I checked in detail, there is no pattern.
Most likely … it behaves as if, at the update, something was not written correctly in the database, but I did the update on a test server, without traffic, with sufficient resources and I did not register errors or warnings (I updated from 13.5 to 15.1.1 with debug true)

We are sorry to hear that you are still having this difficulty with our plugin and it’s must be frustrating for you. We understand that Yoast SEO breadcrumb is showing a completely different category that has nothing to do with the relevant page/post even though everything seems correct as expected.
