    Hi there. I am working on a new WP website where there is no support for a breadcrumb. Do you offer any shortcode or similar for adding a breadcrumb to a page? Many thanks.

    Hi again!

    In TSF v5.0, I added the breadcrumb shortcode. You can learn more about it here: https://tsf.fyi/kb/breadcrumb-shortcode/.

    UPDATE – fixed. Seen in settings how to do this 🙂

    Thanks Sybre!

    The breadcrumb outputs “Archives: Archive-category” in the breadcrumb. Is there any way we can remove the word “Archive”? You can see what I mean in screenshot: https://ibb.co/9qLxLCG

    Hi Syber. Actually a couple questions.

    1. I take it that where SEO is concerned, the breadcrumb is not needed on all pages (only those where it helps user navigation) as it appears on every page in the markup schema. So SEO should not be affected if we have some key pages without it, right…?
    2. We have a single term template page on our site. The breadcrumb is not outputting the same structure as the permalink. It is omitting a category term. https://ibb.co/1nFqypP
    3. We also then have the opposite scenario, where on a CPT template the breadcrumb is outputting with an extra term in it. This is strange because there is an almost identical second CPT template where this does not happen. This 3rd point I have asked the developer about. Lets see what comes back!

    Hello!

    TSF will follow the meta title output. If you do not like the “Archive:” prefix, you can disable that at “SEO Settings > Title Settings > Prefixes.” Though it’d be best to have this separated from the Schema.org breadcrumbs and more customizable, this is still an early version. You can find a related discussion here.

    As for your follow-up questions:

    1. A visual breadcrumb improves accessibility in navigation. SEO shouldn’t be a concern here; it’s to aid your visitors. If it doesn’t make sense to add something to your page, then don’t. Google can still infer the breadcrumb trial from your URLs and the structured data TSF outputs.
    2. Something might be messing with the permalinks, but from here, I cannot tell why or what. Does the canonical URL reflect that page’s URL? Note that WordPress actually only cares about the /last-part/ of your URL; the rest is built from the permalink structure but is generally ignored: https://theseoframework.com/bla/bla/bla/bla/bla/blabla/focus/.
    3. See 2.

    Many thanks Sybre for the helpful explanation. OK I will check my end again to see if I can sort out the breadcrumb issue!
