Ditto. I am upgrading from 6.2 to 7.0.1. I ran the update on a staging copy first, so I managed to find the problem before I bungled up my site. I found the following:
1) Breadcrumbs were turned off after the update. I turned them back on.
2) The breadcrumbs on my pages showed no categories. They went from…
Home » Learn » Hummingbirds » Top 10 Things You Can Do to Attract Hummingbirds
to
Home » Top 10 Things You Can Do to Attract Hummingbirds
Is this a bug? Or are we all missing some configuration detail that needs to be turned back on?
Unfortunately, we are unable to reproduce the issue. Can you confirm if Breadcrumbs is enabled by going to SEO → Search Appearance → Breadcrumbs? Also, have you pasted the following code in your theme as instructed in this article?
<?php
if ( function_exists(‘yoast_breadcrumb’) ) {
yoast_breadcrumb(‘
<p id=”breadcrumbs”>’,'</p>
‘);
}
?>
same thing on my site. it also turned off breadcrumbs on my site after upgrade. I had to manually turn them back on.
Hello Jerparx,
From my side, yes I have breadcrumbs enabled. Yes, I am using the same code you showed above. I don’t know if this makes any difference (it shouldn’t), but I am calling the code in a widget, not a functions.php file or template file.
Breadcrumbs are enabled and were showing up correctly before the update.
I have the same problem on my site, breadcrumbs are enabled and were showing up correctly before the update. 🙁 pls help!
I’m running WordPress on PHP 7. Could this be a PHP version issue? Is everyone here who is getting this issue also running PHP 7?
mine is PHP version: 5.6.30
I’m running PHP 5.6.
Is anyone else using Beaver Builder?
The update to 7.0 reset the breadcrumbs to the default settings, sorry about that. If you have a backup of 6.3, you can revert to that and update to 7.0.1 and your breadcrumbs won’t break. Otherwise, you’ll have to set them up manually again via SEO -> Search Appearance -> Breadcrumbs.
Hi Daniel: Actually, I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum: PHP 5.6 (planning to update to 7.0 as soon as my crushing to-do list gives me enough breath to do so). Originally I was wondering if it was a PHP version issue, but if you’re seeing it at 7.0, then that may rule out the version being the culprit.
To Benvaassen: if I have a site currently running Yoast 6.2, and have yet to update, what do I need to do to avoid this problem? I can test out your instructions on my staging site, if that will help at all.
Hi @birdmag: Yes, that rules out a PHP version issue. Thanks!
@benvaassenI set them up manually but it shows only last part of the whole breadcrumbs, not all of them :
shows only Home ->Last Breadcrumb
and it should be
Home -> First -> Second -> last Breadcrumb
