Editing Breadcrumb List

Resolved

(@meideserve)

I have read this webpage on Yoast Schema Graph APi, specification and technicalities:
https://developer.yoast.com/features/schema/api

Appreciate the info.

However, I would like to edit the JSON LD generated by Yoast SEO, because certain JSON LD generated doesn’t fit my requirements (mainly for Google SEO). One important example, is that for breadcrumb hierarchy, I require it to be:

Home >> Blog >> Category >> Sub-category >> etc >> Post/Article Title.

I have a lot of blog articles.
As you can see in this example blog article, https://meide.sg/marble-floor-cleaning-guide, the breadcrumb is missing “Blog”. The JSON LD code generated is:


{
	            "@type": "BreadcrumbList",
	            "@id": "https://meide.sg/marble-floor-cleaning-guide/#breadcrumb",
	            "itemListElement": [
	                {
	                    "@type": "ListItem",
	                    "position": 1,
	                    "item": {
	                        "@type": "WebPage",
	                        "@id": "https://meide.sg/",
	                        "url": "https://meide.sg/",
	                        "name": "Home"
	                    }
	                },
	                {
	                    "@type": "ListItem",
	                    "position": 2,
	                    "item": {
	                        "@type": "WebPage",
	                        "@id": "https://meide.sg/category/cleaning/",
	                        "url": "https://meide.sg/category/cleaning/",
	                        "name": "For Home Owners And Helpers"
	                    }
	                },
	                {
	                    "@type": "ListItem",
	                    "position": 3,
	                    "item": {
	                        "@type": "WebPage",
	                        "@id": "https://meide.sg/category/cleaning/floor-cleaning/",
	                        "url": "https://meide.sg/category/cleaning/floor-cleaning/",
	                        "name": "Floor Cleaning"
	                    }
	                },
	                {
	                    "@type": "ListItem",
	                    "position": 4,
	                    "item": {
	                        "@type": "WebPage",
	                        "@id": "https://meide.sg/marble-floor-cleaning-guide/",
	                        "url": "https://meide.sg/marble-floor-cleaning-guide/",
	                        "name": "How To Clean A Marble Floor In 6 Easy Steps"
	                    }
	                }
	            ]
	        },

How can I do this to solve my problems?
Problem 1. To fix this breadcrumb problem.
Problem 2. To be able to edit the json ld code (and not just add/change or remove graph pieces).

Thanks!

You identified multiple queries in your message and we’ve responded to them below.

Problem 1. To fix this breadcrumb problem.

Is your blog page set as the Posts page at Settings → Reading, in your WordPress dashboard? If so, then you can add it in the breadcrumbs by going to SEO → Search Appearance → Breadcrumbs and select to show the Blog page. Please refer to https://kb.yoast.com/kb/implement-wordpress-seo-breadcrumbs/#enable-and-configure-the-yoast-breadcrumbs for more details.

Problem 2. To be able to edit the JSON LD code (and not just add/change or remove graph pieces).

Unfortunately, there’s no other easy way to edit the JSON LD code outputted by our Yoast SEO plugin except via available developer filters.

Appreciate your help!

Problem 1: nope, because I have customized the posts page… so i did not set the Settings > Readings > Post Page as ANYthing… i left it blank. Is that advisable?

I refered to your kb.yoast.com and used this code to manually edit the breadcrumb path, in functions.php. success! yay!
