I have a missing name in my breadcrumb trail. * I followed these two documents: [https://yoast.com/help/google-search-console-breadcrumb-schema-report/](https://yoast.com/help/google-search-console-breadcrumb-schema-report/) [https://yoast.com/help/google-search-console-breadcrumb-schema-report/](https://yoast.com/help/google-search-console-breadcrumb-schema-report/) * But that didn’t help as I don’t have the field to fill in with my custom post type name. * Can you help me please?

The following errors were found on your site You must indicate “name” or “item.name” * We recommend that you correct these problems as soon as possible in order to optimize your site’s placement in Google search. * Thank you * [Rumejan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onlyincebu/) * (@onlyincebu) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breadcrumbs-error-google-search-console-missing-name/#post-14128509) * Thanks for providing us more details. * The Yoast SEO plugin takes the name from the page name. In this case, it could be that the name is missing from your front page. Can you please check the page you’re using as your front page and make sure you’ve added a title to this page? If not, does adding the title resolve the issue? * Thread Starter [Freya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candrault/) * (@candrault) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breadcrumbs-error-google-search-console-missing-name/#post-14129214) * The parent page is the archive page of my custom post type. I cant configure a title I think this is why i got this error. * Is there a place in the new version of Yoast option to configure it like in in this article : [https://yoast.com/help/the-breadcrumbs-title-setting/](https://yoast.com/help/the-breadcrumbs-title-setting/)? * I cant find the “breadcrumb settings for Articles archives”. * [Md Mazedul Islam Khan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mazedulislamkhan/) * (@mazedulislamkhan) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breadcrumbs-error-google-search-console-missing-name/#post-14132961) * Are you able to edit the relevant archive page? If yes, you should be able to set the page title and as well as the breadcrumbs title on the relevant page as well. * However, if you are unable to edit the relevant archive page, can you please confirm whether the issue persists when switching to the default 2021 theme? * We look forward to hearing from you. * [Suwash Kunwar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suascat_wp/) * (@suascat_wp) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breadcrumbs-error-google-search-console-missing-name/#post-14132999) * [@candrault](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candrault/) * Can you please take a full page screenshot of **Content Types** settings in Yoast SEO? * Thread Starter [Freya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candrault/) * (@candrault) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breadcrumbs-error-google-search-console-missing-name/#post-14134832) * [@suascat_wp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suascat_wp/) [@mazedulislamkhan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mazedulislamkhan/) * Unless I’m mistaken, it is not possible to administer a custom post archive page in wordpress (so I cannot add / modify its name). * In a support document here [https://yoast.com/help/the-breadcrumbs-title-setting/](https://yoast.com/help/the-breadcrumbs-title-setting/) there seems to be an option to add his name in our archive page but this field is not present in my BO. * Here is a screenshot, thank you very much for your answers.

Due to the nature of the issue, we’ll need to take a look at your setup. However, we are unable to do it here as this is a public forum. * So, if you have an active [Yoast SEO Premium](https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/) subscription or if you can consider buying one, we can investigate the issue further directly on your setup privately through email. * However, if you don’t wish to get the Yoast SEO Premium subscription, that’s completely fine. In this case, you’ll need to troubleshoot the issue further on your setup as we are literally out of any clue at this moment without taking a look at the setup. So, someone from the community might step forward as well who has experienced the issue or familiar with the parent/child breadcrumbs relationship. * Thanks for your understanding! * Thread Starter [Freya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candrault/) * (@candrault) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breadcrumbs-error-google-search-console-missing-name/#post-14135173) * [@mazedulislamkhan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mazedulislamkhan/) * Thank you for your answers, it is always nice to have responsive and understanding support! * I finally solved my bitch problem with this article: [https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/13015](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/13015) * Despite the fact that I don’t display my breadcrumbs on my site, I have to activate it in the yoast settings (Breadcrumbs > Enable Breadcrumbs for your theme). * Once activated, I finally have this field to add the name of my archive. * Now the google error has disappeared because the name of the archive (the parent of my post) has been taken into account.
