How to Display Rank Math Breadcrumbs in the WoodMart Theme

If you are using the WoodMart theme with Rank Math SEO, you may notice that breadcrumbs do not appear by default. WoodMart uses its own breadcrumb function, so Rank Math cannot replace it automatically.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to properly display breadcrumbs using a simple PHP snippet. This works on:

• WooCommerce Shop pages
• WooCommerce Product pages
• Blog posts & archives
• Custom layouts

Let’s fix the missing breadcrumb issue.

❗ Why Rank Math Breadcrumbs Don’t Show

WoodMart loads its own breadcrumb function:

• woodmart_breadcrumbs for normal pages
• woocommerce_breadcrumb for shop pages

This prevents Rank Math from displaying its version automatically.

To force WoodMart to use Rank Math breadcrumbs, we need to override this behavior with a simple function.

How to Enable Breadcrumbs (Code Fix)

Add the following code to your site in :

• Appearance > Theme file editor > function.php

📌 PHP Snippet

function woodmart_current_breadcrumbs( $type ) {
	$function = ( $type == 'shop' ) ? 'woocommerce_breadcrumb' : 'woodmart_breadcrumbs';

	if ( function_exists( 'rank_math_the_breadcrumbs' ) ) {
		rank_math_the_breadcrumbs();
	} else {
		$function();
	}
}

This code will:

✔️ Replace WoodMart breadcrumbs with Rank Math
✔️ Show SEO-friendly breadcrumb schema
✔️ Improve Google rich results detection

With this simple snippet, you can fully integrate breadcrumbs into the WoodMart theme.
