Hello,

Thank you for the update. I will keep an eye on the progress with your provided link.

@pcosta88 Hello. I saw Yoast SEO just put out another update. I thought I read something about the Schema in this update. Will this update resolve the issue/bug you mentioned for the Schema output? Thank you again for your continued help.

@apprimit Thank you again, this worked perfectly. Just had to make some small minor changes to the format code and CSS, but was exactly what I was trying to do!

Thank you both for the reply. As I do not have any plugins installed that affect comments, I will post this issue in the OceanWP forum and see if something in the theme code is altering just that frontend date. I looked in their respective settings and theme customizer but did not see any date formating.

@pcosta88 Thank you for your reply. Glad I could be of accidental help…LOL!! I will CSS hide the title breadcrumbs for now and keep an eye out for an update! Thank you again for your help, I greatly appreciate it. Also, thank you for the newsletter link, I will be signing up for that now!

@pcosta88 Thank you for your continued help. Here is the info/images you requested. The Yoast PHP is in my Header file inside of my Child Theme.

CSS used to make breadcrumbs not visible –
#breadcrumbs {
display: none;
}

Homepage breadcrumbs (and I currently have the CSS removed so you can see it).

Thank you Amit, I appreciate all your help….again!!

Hello Amit,

Thank you for checking. After following your steps I did also have Google re-crawl my site. I feel like I missed something as the mobile SERP still show my sites URL and not the site name? Also, FYI – the visible breadcrumbs that are on my blog articles are displayed through the OCeanWP theme customizer option. I was going to turn them off and only use Yoast, but I am not sure how to add the code to get them to show in the same spot on my articles.

@marcanor Through the advice of someone else helping, I have created a child theme and added the Yoast PHP to it. I believe I have created it properly. I added the header.php file to it and added the Yoast Breadcrumb PHP. The only additional step I took was adding CSS in my theme’s customizer to make the breadcrumbs not visible in the title bar on my pages. I tried looking at the Google SD tool, but I didn’t think I saw the code that the Yoast Breadcrumb article said to look for? I also turned off the Schema Markup in my theme’s settings, so hopefully, that removed the extra output you had mentioned. Can you please let me know if the breadcrumb code is active or if I have missed something. Thank you for your help.

Thank you, Amit. I followed your steps and believe I have mostly done this correctly? The only additional item I did was add CSS to hide the breadcrumb display in the title bar. I was trying to find the source code for the Yoast breadcrumbs through the Google SD tool but I didn’t see any code for the “breadcrumbs”. So I am not sure if I have missed a step somewhere? Thank you again for all your help.

Thank you, Amit. I checked with the plugin author for Headers and Footers and they said that PHP can not be inserted at this time with their plugin. Without having to try and learn how to create a child theme and implement it (as I just need the Yoast code) do you have a suggestion on how to get the Yoast code into the header file? I ask because I have not come across a reason to ever change theme files yet, only CSS which OceanWP makes super easy!

I have heard back from the Yoast team and I need to add the Yoast breadcrumb code into my header.php. As I would rather not break my site by altering code, can I please get some advice on how to add the Yoast code to my theme code without causing any errors. Please note – I am not familiar with PHP or editing theme files.

@marcanor Thank you for the clarification on how to implement the breadcrumbs, also the duplicate Schema issue. I will put in another topic with the OceanWP theme, although I am yet to have them reply to any questions I have asked. I appreciate that I now know how to fix this issue.

Hello, @apprimit Thank you for your reply. You have mentioned to me changing the theme before. I would really prefer not to go that way because of a few reasons. 1. I like the OceanWP theme. 2. I would think it will take more work with design and CSS to change the theme. 3. I feel like I am just missing something small with OceanWP and Yoast. Like, maybe the Schema site name is the full URL or do I need to insert the Yoast breadcrumb PHP code into the header? Although it looks like OceanWP integrates with Yoast? Did you see something in my source code that looks like it should be outputting to SERP’s correctly?

**The author of the plugin ‘Headers and Footers’ just let me know that PHP can not be used with their plugin at this time.
With my little knowledge of coding, I am not sure how to put the Yoast breadcrumb code into my header file…if needed.

Another question. Can I use the Header and Footers plugin to add the Yoast code to my header section? Thank you.
