Hi Luke,

I really appreciate the links, but I don’t think those help me with the Yoast SEO breadcrumb which I would like to edit (if I’m wrong, please let me know).

Pretty sure the Yoast SEO plugin generates its own breadcrumb. I just want to leave off the last item (the current product name) in the YOAST SEO-generated breadcrumb.

Still looking for an answer – thanks though Luke.

My mistake, in that you are using Yoast SEO for the WooCommerce breadcrumb part.

Okay, I figured it out…

You have to comment out the following “if” statement starting on line 323 (or there abouts), about 3/7 down the file.

if ( isset( $this->post->ID ) ) {
$this->add_single_post_crumb( $this->post->ID );
}

Now, this will work, but only until you update the plugin again (which will overwrite this). I’ll post back if I find a way to implement this in functions.php, but no promises on that.

A method that does not modify the plugin core, would be the way to go.

Figured out a non-invasive solution!!!

Check out this guy’s blog post –

THANK YOU JASON JONES!!!!!!!!!!!!! (x a billion)

And thank you again Luke for your assistance.

I’d like to politely ask the Yoast SEO plugin author Joost de Valk to consider implementing a GUI modification for this in the plugin settings – would have saved me hours.

Going to put the raw code in too in case that blog dies…

<?php
  // Remove the last link in breadcrumbs
  // WHY? Because it an span tag that contains the title of the page
  // But you're already on the page, so what's the point?
add_filter( 'wpseo_breadcrumb_links', 'jj_wpseo_breadcrumb_links' );
function jj_wpseo_breadcrumb_links( $links ) {
    		//pk_print( sizeof($links) );

    		if( sizeof($links) > 1 ){
    			array_pop($links);
    		}

	    return $links;
}
  // Add link to the last item in the breadcrumbs
  // WHY? Because, by default, WP-SEO doesn't include the link on the last item
  // Since we removed in the function above, we need to add the link back in.
add_filter( 'wpseo_breadcrumb_single_link', 'jj_link_to_last_crumb' , 10, 2);
function jj_link_to_last_crumb( $output, $crumb){
        $output = '<a rel="v:url" href="'. $crumb['url']. '">';
        $output.= $crumb['text'];
        $output.= '</a>';

        return $output;
}

Goes right in the ol’ functions.php file.

Nice find, the code will not be going anywhere, since it is on a Gist as well.
