Yoast Breadcrumb Parent Issue

—

### 1. **Set Parent Page for Child Pages**
Ensure the child page has a parent page assigned in WordPress:
– Go to the WordPress dashboard.
– Navigate to **Pages** > **All Pages**.
– Edit the child page.
– In the **Page Attributes** section, set the **Parent** page to the correct one.
– Save the changes.

—

### 2. **Enable Breadcrumbs in Yoast**
Verify that breadcrumbs are enabled in Yoast:
– Go to **SEO** > **Search Appearance**.
– Click on the **Breadcrumbs** tab.
– Ensure the **Enable Breadcrumbs** option is turned on.
– Save changes.

—

### 3. **Check Breadcrumb Settings**
Ensure Yoast is configured to display the hierarchy:
– In **SEO** > **Search Appearance** > **Breadcrumbs**, review the settings for:
– **Taxonomy to show in breadcrumbs for content types**: If you are dealing with custom post types, ensure the taxonomy hierarchy is set correctly.
– Parent pages should automatically show up if they are properly configured.

—

### 4. **Update the Theme's Breadcrumb Display Code**
Ensure the theme is pulling the correct breadcrumb structure. If you’re using a custom theme, ensure it includes the Yoast breadcrumb function:

if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
    yoast_breadcrumb( '<p id="breadcrumbs">', '</p>' );
}

– Check this code is placed in the appropriate template files (`single.php`, `page.php`, etc.) for displaying breadcrumbs.

### 5. **Flush Permalinks**
Flushing permalinks often resolves unexpected behavior:
– Go to **Settings** > **Permalinks**.
– Click **Save Changes** without altering anything.

—

### 6. **Check for Conflicting Plugins**
Deactivate all other plugins except Yoast to check for conflicts. Then, reactivate them one by one to find the culprit.

—

### 7. **Clear Cache**
If you use caching plugins or server-side caching (like Cloudflare), clear your cache to ensure you see updated breadcrumbs.

—

### 8. **Test a Default Theme**
Switch to a default WordPress theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Four) to rule out theme-specific issues.
