Enable Breadcrumbs in generate press

Hi there,

Looking further into this and I’m happy to help provide some additional information to help you enable Rank Math breadcrumbs.

Depending on whether you have GeneratePress Premium or not, there are different ways to enable Rank Math breadcrumbs.

For GeneratePress Premium users:

You can use the GeneratePress Premium feature that lets you insert custom code into different parts of your theme. Here’s how to do it:

1. First, you need to activate the breadcrumbs feature in Rank Math. To do this, go to Rank Math > General Settings > Breadcrumbs and enable the option. You can also customize the appearance and settings of your breadcrumbs from there.
2. Second, you need to create a new hook element in GeneratePress. To do this, go to Appearance > Elements and click on Add New. Choose Hook as the element type and give it a title.
3. Third, you need to paste this code snippet into the hook element. This code will display the breadcrumbs generated by Rank Math on your site. Make sure to check the Execute PHP checkbox below the code editor.

   <div id="rank-math-generatepress-breadcrumbs">
      <?php if (function_exists('rank_math_the_breadcrumbs')) rank_math_the_breadcrumbs(); ?>
   </div>

4. Fourth, you need to choose the hook location where you want to insert the breadcrumbs. You can use the visual guide to see all the available hooks in GeneratePress. A common option is generate_before_entry_title, which will show the breadcrumbs above the page title.
5. Fifth, you need to set the display rules for the hook element. You can choose which pages or posts you want to show the breadcrumbs on. For example, you can select All Pages or All Posts or specific categories or tags.
6. Finally, you need to publish the hook element and check your site to see the breadcrumbs in action.

For GeneratePress Free users:

You can add the following code to your website, either to your theme’s function.php file (not recommended), or your child theme’s function.php file, or the rank-math.php file, you can create it if it doesn’t exist (recommended). You can also use a third-party plugin like Code Snippets. Learn more about adding codes to your website here.

Here’s the code you need to add:

add_action( 'generate_before_entry_title', 'rank_math_generatepress_breadcrumbs' );
function rank_math_generatepress_breadcrumbs() {
    if ( function_exists( 'rank_math_the_breadcrumbs' ) ) {
        echo '<div id="rank-math-generatepress-breadcrumbs">';
        rank_math_the_breadcrumbs();
        echo '</div>';
    }
}

This code will add Rank Math breadcrumbs above the page title on your site.
