Title: Breadcrumbs showing wrongly Last modified: May 19, 2020 --- # Breadcrumbs showing wrongly * Resolved [aliqamarvpn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aliqamarvpn/) * (@aliqamarvpn) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breadcrumbs-showing-wrongly/) * Hi – everything was fine a couple of days ago, but all of a sudden, my posts have a wrong structure for breadcrumbs. * My breadcrumbs right now are like home > sub-category > parent category > post name * However, it should be like home > parent category > sub-category > post name * So, the problem is, my sub-category is showing before the parent category in the yoast breadcrumbs. I tested in Google snippet tool too and there also my sub-category is shown before the parent category to Google. Please help it is a serious issue. * Thanks! * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbreadcrumbs-showing-wrongly%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [John Samuel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnsamuel/) * (@johnsamuel) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breadcrumbs-showing-wrongly/#post-12862183) * Hello, * We are facing the same issue. * Small observation: The breadcrumbs on old posts have the correct structure, however if you resave the post the structure changes.

It was all good a couple of days ago, I upgraded to 14.1 and then after a couple of days, the parent and sub-category of posts got swapped. * Perhaps it happened right after the most recent Yoast update but I just noticed yesterday. Please help ASAP, this is serious issues, now my breadcrumbs that are shown in Google are swapped too, make has made things look weird.

The Yoast 14.2 coming next Tuesday will have it fixed. But I didn’t want to leave my site like this till then, so I finally got my hands on a fix for the meanwhile the team releases the latest version. * The fix is changing this query: * wordpress-seo/src/repositories/indexable-hierarchy-repository.php * (Lines 76 to 80) * public function find_ancestors( Indexable $indexable ) { $ancestors = $this- >query() ->where( ‘indexable_id’, $indexable->id ) ->order_by_desc( ‘depth’ )- >find_many(); * To use order_by_asc instead of order_by_desc. * It worked for me, hope it helps you as well. And if you wish to thanks me, you can share my website article with your friends and family 🙂 * Cheers! * [John Samuel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnsamuel/) * (@johnsamuel) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breadcrumbs-showing-wrongly/#post-12864023) * Thanks 😊 * [badscooter1980](https://wordpress.org/support/users/badscooter1980/) * (@badscooter1980) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breadcrumbs-showing-wrongly/#post-12864060) * Super, thanks! * Plugin Support [Maybellyne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maybellyne/) * (@maybellyne) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breadcrumbs-showing-wrongly/#post-12864309) * Hello [@aliqamarvpn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aliqamarvpn/) [@johnsamuel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnsamuel/) [@badscooter1980](https://wordpress.org/support/users/badscooter1980/) * We are sorry about the problems with your breadcrumbs. * The breadcrumbs in a wrong order is a bug.
