Breadcrumb SEO issue

    My theme currently has woocommerce installed and is using breadcrumbs.
    I also have registered additional custom post types.

    Child pages do not list the parent(s) in the breadcrumb causing issues with the ld+json breadcrumb schema being loaded.

    Example:
    URL: /events/event-name
    BC: Home -> Event Name

    Expected:
    URL: /events/event-name/
    BC: Home -> Events -> Event Name

    This causes SEO issues because the URL of the page and the Breadcrumb schema do not match

    This happens with all child pages: Event, Performers, Venue etc.

    Event Type pages show “Type” in the breadcrumb but it is not a link to the Event Type page.
    Ex. Home -> Types -> Event Type

    There should be consistency in URL and breadcrumb for SEO.

    Thanks

    Another issue I have come across:

    In the SEO settings I have changed “Event Type” to “Class Type”.
    I have encountered a number of SEO issues and usability issues around this:

    1. Changing to Class Types does not change the Event Types URL in the Menu. Adding a menu item for Event Types still produces /event-types/ URL and page
    2. This is also reflected in the breadcrumb: Home > Event Types
    3. BUT… Clicking on one of the Types of classes takes you to URL: /class-type/class-name
    4. With the B.C being: Home > Type > Class Type Name — Type is not a link back to /event-types/ and does not even say Event Type.
    5. /event-types/ Should be renamed to /class-types/ and the breadcrumb should reflect this as well.
    6. Looking for /class-types/ or /class-type/ as the parent of /class-types/class-type-name/ returns 404’s.
    7. This is confusing the system, confusing me, confusing users, and confusing Google.

    I really want to like this plugin, want to use it, and very willing to buy the pro version, but this is very basic stuff that turns me off using it.

    Another very basic usability issue is Performers, venues, links, on event pages opening in a new tab/window.
    We have now broke the internet and users cannot use the back button.

    I also tried creating a new page for performers, assigning it in the settings, but all this does is create duplicate content.
    Now.. /performers/ and /new-page/ both exist and are both accessible urls with the same content, and no fixes to the breadcrumb issue.

    And where is the performers page html? I can’t find it anywhere.
    Can I modify existing templates anywhere? Single performers page?

    I’m so confused.
