Hello,
Thank you for considering moving to Rank Math! To adjust the breadcrumb structure on your website, you can customize the settings in Rank Math to match the desired format.
To make the breadcrumb match the prior pages instead of categories, you can follow these steps:
- Go to your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Breadcrumbs.
- Look for the option related to showing categories in the breadcrumbs. You may need to disable the “Show Category(s)” option to exclude categories from the breadcrumb trail.
By disabling the “Show Category(s)” option, your breadcrumb structure should reflect the parent pages instead of categories when navigating through your website.
If you encounter any issues or need further assistance with this customization, feel free to reply to this ticket, and our support team will be happy to help you further.
Thank you for reaching out!

The response reads, “By disabling the “Show Category(s)” option, your breadcrumb structure **should reflect the parent pages instead of categories when navigating through your website.”
I don’t want to go through migrating everything to Math Rank and paying the fee based on *should. Can you confirm that this will be the solution that I am looking for?
I know, different product. Using those same instructions in Yoast didn’t work.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and bringing your concern to our attention.
Please ignore the reply from the RankBot. You can show all the categories on your breadcrumbs by using the Rank Math plugin on your website.
After installing the Rank Math plugin, please head over to WP Dashboard > General Settings, and from there enable the Breadcrumbs functions and from there also enable the Show Category(s) option.
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Thank you for that information! My Yoast Pro subscription is up in a few months. I am doing a lot of work on the site right now with that and put this issue back burner for the moment. (Higher priority things to fix). I’d like to give RankMath a try when that time comes and I have the time to learn a new system. Thank you!
