Yoast breadcrumb category not updating

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.
