Thanks for reaching out here. We looked at the relevant page and see the breadcrumbs ГЛАВНАЯ » ИНСТРУКЦИИ, СОВЕТЫ, ЛАЙФХАКИ » where the separator » is appearing at the end of the path when it shouldn’t.
The issue you’re currently experiencing is very odd. Can you please confirm whether you’re running the Yoast SEO-generated breadcrumbs and you have implemented the breadcrumbs within your theme? How to implement Yoast SEO breadcrumbs?
If yes, can you please confirm whether you haven’t mistakenly added the separator » at the end of the breadcrumbs path manually when you were implementing the breadcrumbs specific code within your theme?
We look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for the reply. I put your breadcrumbs manually in code a couple years ago by using some video instruction in YouTube. I just copied this code:
<?php
if ( function_exists(‘yoast_breadcrumb’) ) {
yoast_breadcrumb( ‘<p id=”breadcrumbs”>’,'</p>’ );
}
?>
And inserted it in content-single.php, right above <header class=”entry-header”>. And activated this breadcrumbs in admin panel, in your plugin’s settings.
And I also changed styles of breadcrumbs in my style.css file (font size, text-transform, font family and letter spacing). And also changed margins of breadcrumbs for different devices widths.
For testing purposes I’ve just deleted all my breadcrumbs styles, but an extra “»” didn’t disappear. So the problem is in something else.
@giorgos93 Thanks for your reply.
Regarding your issue, can you please check whether the breadcrumb title is configured on the individual page in the Yoast SEO metabox to include the additional “»” character?
You can check this by performing the following steps:
• In WordPress, go to the edit screen of the page/post
• Scroll down to the Yoast SEO metabox
• Click on ‘Advanced’ to expand this area
• For ‘Breadcrumb Title’ ensure that this value doesn’t include the additional “»” character
• Click ‘Update’
Can you please try the aforementioned suggestions and let us know whether this resolves your issue?

I’ve just checked what you asked me to do. It’ empty in ‘Breadcrumb Title’ – there is no text, no signs, and no spaces.
So the problem has nothing to do with the fact, that I don’t have any subcategories, right?
@giorgos93 Thanks for your reply.
We still aren’t sure what this issue is related to as it is certainly unexpected behavior.
Does the issue with the additional “»” character appended to the end occur for all posts, or only ones within a specific category?

I’ve just checked 1 post in each category – additional “»” is in every category.
I don’t know if it matters, but there is also a “SEO Yoast breadcrumbs” tab in my theme’s customizer, and “»” is also inserted there as a separator. But if I delete it, then both separators disappear in my posts.
I’ve just unloaded all the plugins and changed my theme with the help of “Health Check & Troubleshooting” plugin. When my theme and only SEO Yoast plugin are enabled, then breadcrumb shows correctly. So it’s not because of my theme.
After I started to activate each plugin 1 by 1, I found what causes it: the plugin is called “Webcraftic Clearfy”. It has a tab that includes settings for your plugin. And there is an option that deletes the last “path” in SEO Yoast breadcrumbs. It’s said there, that some SEO-experts think that repeating the post’s heading in breadcrumbs is unnecessary.
I didn’t even think that it was made because of another plugin. I thought, that it was made on purpose by you for subcategories.
I guess, now I have to ask them to fix it, right? 🙂
@giorgos93 Thanks for your reply and confirming that the issue was caused by the Webcraftic Clearfy plugin. If the issue is only occurring once you activate that plugin we would recommend reaching out to it’s developers directly for additional assistance in resolving this.
We are going ahead and marking this issue as resolved due to inactivity. If you require any further assistance please create a new issue.
