Wrong category of blog posts in breadcrumbs

Hi @devnihil ,

Yes, as I said, all plugins, themes, and WP core are always updated to the latest version. We update everything as soon as new versions become available.

If you have already confirmed both Yoast SEO and WordPress are up to date and the issue is still occurring, can you please try the following:

1. Install & activate the Yoast Test Helper plugin
2. Go to Tools -> Yoast Test
3. Hit the “Reset Indexables & Migrations” button
4. Click the “Click here to speed up your site now” button

No, it didn’t help. For these posts, the image title and link to the image in breadcrumbs are still displayed instead of the post category.

I created an STAGING copy of the site, and removed this image from the media files (via the WP admin panel), after that all the categories of posts became correct (this is about those posts that instead of the category displayed this particular image in bread crumbs).
This action resulted in a category correction in breadcrumbs.

But I can’t do this on a live site because we need this image as an element with the current ID (for this reason I also can’t delete and upload it again).

Can you tell me in which table in the database I can see the relationship between posts and the specific breadcrumbs that are assigned to them? So I can manually change this? Does this make sense?

Thank You!

Hi @pcosta88,

I meant that this was enabled via the Yoast SEO plugin settings.

Of course, the code was added to the templates for the blog post page, otherwise it wouldn’t work

<?php
	if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) { ?>
		<div class="wrap-breadcrumbs"><?php yoast_breadcrumb( '<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>' ); ?></div>
	<?php }
?>

2. The Yoast Breadcrumbs store in the WP_postmeta database where the meta_key is _yoast_wpseo_bctitle. So you can see the relationship. Does that match your expectatons?

Thanks, I’ll take a look at it now!
