WordPress breadcumbs showing entire title

If your WordPress breadcrumbs are displaying the entire title of a page instead of a concise summary, it usually means that the settings in your SEO plugin (like Yoast SEO) are not configured to properly truncate the titles for the breadcrumbs; you likely need to adjust the “Breadcrumb Title” setting to limit the character count displayed.

How to fix old URLs in Yoast SEO breadcrumbs

Note: problem fixed after resetting yoast seo meta data table called indexable.

it likely means there’s a caching issue, outdated permalink settings, or a problem with how Yoast is reading your site structure; to fix this, you can try clearing your website cache, updating your permalinks, re-indexing your site in Yoast.

Install and activate the Yoast Test Helper plugin.
In the WordPress admin panel, go to “Tools” » “Yoast Test”. (The Yoast SEO upgrade routine was executed.)
Click the Reset Indexables tables & migrations button. (caution lose data)

Indexables store the metadata for all your pages in a separate database table – the Indexables.

Because some of your SEO data was reset by the Yoast Test Helper, your SEO data needs to be reprocessed. We estimate this will take a couple of minutes.

Go to “SEO” » “Tools”.
Click the Start SEO data optimization button.
Check the URLs in the breadcrumbs again – they should now be correct.

Re-index your site in Yoast:
- Access Yoast SEO settings > Tools.
- Click “Process and speed up site” to re-scan your website and update the data.
