Hello,

My site is http://www.traveltwirl.com. Although I have enabled breadcrumbs, in Google search the breadcrumb structure is not shown and the full link is shown. Can you please tell me the solution?

Thanks

Hello,
Please provide an example of how your breadcrumbs show and how tehy are supposed to show so I can get a better idea of what you mean.
Thanks.

Hello,

As it seems this is already in tests for this issue and we are looking for viable solutions as we speak. We will most likely implement a fix in the next theme update. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks

Hi,

I went through the showcase of NewsPaper websites on this forum. I found two websites which are running on NewsPaper 7 theme and they show breadcrumb structure in Google search. I am attaching the screenshot. If they can have breadcrumb with NewsPaper 7, then it should be possible to have in mine too.

Google chooses whether to use breadcrumbs or not, and they can do so regardless of mark-up. They grabbed our breadcrumbs on our old shtml website for years with no schema markup at all.

Generally you need to resubmit your sitemaps in Search Console whenever you make any changes to your site “markup” like breadcrumbs, themes, etc., so that they “reindex” and restructure your content in their cache.

All our sites using Newsmag and Newspaper, and WPION, (and our in house theme), all have breadcrumbs in SERPS.

Also note console errors on your pages can cause issues, so good to check pages with “fetch as Google” which will show you WHAT THEY SEE.

You have issues on some of your pages “right now” like so:

getads.js:1 A Parser-blocking, cross site (i.e. different eTLD+1) script, http://aax-cpm.amazon-adsystem.com/x/getad?jsd=1&src=320&c=100&u=http%3A%2F…g-fundamentals%2F&slot_uuid=3b91326e-54a3-466a-82e2-14d884c7809c&rnd=93377, is invoked via document.write. The network request for this script MAY be blocked by the browser in this or a future page load due to poor network connectivity. If blocked in this page load, it will be confirmed in a subsequent console message.See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5718547946799104 for more details.

Thanks a lot Chris. You are very helpful.

Will wait for tagDiv’s reply as well.

Hello,

You will have to wait for the next theme update though as if anything is found and implemented regarding breadcrumbs, it will most likely be in the next theme update which is not very far off.

Thank you!

Hi Bogdan,

As mentioned in my comment above, http://www.virtualmagie.com and http://www.jornhaugland.no both have NewsPaper theme and the results of both the sites are displayed in Breadcrumb format in Google search. If their result can be displayed in breadcrumb format without any theme updates, so can mine. There has to be some solution.

Thanks,

Gaurav

Hello,

I understand the situation but as Chris said, there is no way of forcing google to do anything. The markup is there. Google needs to interpret it as it sees fit. I already told you we are looking into this. I do not have a solution yet. We are still working on it. These things take time and rigorous tests. I cannot provide any instant solution. Lots of tests have to be made to see why this happens. If this is very urgent to you, then you can simply replace the theme breadcrumbs with the yoast breadcrumbs if you have the proper coding skills needed.
I’m sorry but please understand that these things take time especially when google is involved.

Thank you!

@Gaurav

also
a) fix errors on your pages
b) test/resubmit sitemap to Google – “resubmit” your sitemaps if they work!
c) fetch post as Google to “see” exactly “what Google sees”
d) resave permalinks
e) clear and reset all caching
f) clear transients (mini-caches) with WP-Optimize or similar

If it works on 20,000 sites and not yours, then issue is with your setup –or– with Google not re-indexing your pages, which you need to tell them to do; theme cannot control what Google does, only provide the “hinting” for them to do something.

Good luck!

I have seen this problem in later versions except Version 7.0.

I test in the same domain by change theme from 7.8 to 7.0 then re-submit google (first url), it shows different in SERP.
* no Breadcrumb structure error in both URLs

Hello,

Yes, we are aware of the breadcrumb structure change and we will include a fix for it in the next theme update.

Thank you!
