 * Hi [@grai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grai/)
 * If you are [implementing the Yoast SEO breadcrumbs](https://yoast.com/help/implement-wordpress-seo-breadcrumbs/),
   you’ll need to modify the primary category to the parent category, and not the
   subcategory, so that the breadcrumb schema data will output the pathway of:
 * site > category > post
 * Please do note that even if you’ve set up the breadcrumb schema correctly then,
   which you can test in the [Rich Results Tool](https://search.google.com/test/rich-results),
   it will still be up to Google as to what it will actually output in the search
   results.
