How to implement breadcrumbs on AMP without installing Standard Pack plugin?

Hi, team tagDiv.
I am using Newspaper theme without Standard Pack and everything seems to be working flawlessly except for breadcrumbs on the AMP pages. I can’t find any dedicated option to enable breadcrumbs on AMP. As for the desktop version, I’ve implemented them using the tagDiv composer.
One thing I noticed after installing Standard Pack is that, in the theme panel, the “template settings” shows more options as compared to when it’s uninstalled, like setting for breadcrumbs that are otherwise not there.
I know enabling breadcrumbs from template settings after installing Standard Pack will automatically enable breadcrumbs for the AMP but then, it adds two “breadcrumbs structured data markup” in code. One from when they were added using tagDiv composer and the other from the theme panel.
Can you help me with this?

Hello!

I would recommend to use Yoast breadcrumbs because if you are using cloud library post templates for example the breadcrumbs will be a shortcode.
Standard Pack is used only for default templates and not for a cloud/PRO templates.
Please note that AMP is faster and works better only with Mobile Theme, and is not working because it is not compatible with cloud templates. Also, Mobile Theme has not so many option to customize because it has its template design.

Thank you!

Thanks for the precise response.
Can you help me understand the distinction between breadcrumbs added as shortcode using td-composer and the Yoast breadcrumbs?
Because in the end, what you want is to provide your users with a quick way to navigate through webpages, to superficially understand the site structure and the relevant schema-markup to be added in the code for associated property. Td-composer seems to be injecting the breadcrumb schema into code just fine. How could Yoast breadcrumbs be more beneficial when it produce the exact same end result?

Hello!

Please take a look here in the Yoast article and you will find out the benefits using this plugin which is a tested one with our theme: https://yoast.com/help/implement-wordpress-seo-breadcrumbs/
