Breadcrumb Schema Incorrect if Homepage is Represented as an Icon

Beta

Hi!

This is not actually an error, but the common user practice will generate it:

Very often the Homepage is replaced with a Home icon to look better in the Navigation.
The Breadcrumbs element allows displaying the icon or text. If icon is selected, it will default to the Menu name in Schema output, but it is an icon there too. So the Schema is invalid.

I think something should be done here, because I imagine many users are using Icons in menus, and are not aware of the fact that it breaks the Schema.

(If Home is changed to text instead of an icon, then it displays correctly).

So to keep Icons both in Navigation and breadcrumbs, I guess the Breadcrumb element should have a field to enter the Home name if Icon is selected.

Thanks!

Hi @Misho,

Thanks for sharing this. We’ll see what we can do to make it more consistent. We did add the Home label (visually hidden) for the element, but it’s not in the main theme breadcrumbs.

Howdy, @Misho! Just wanted to let you know I’ve updated this so that when “Icon” is selected as the Home Label type, you will now see the following:

The “Home Label” input will remain, just in a side-by-side column with the icon. Whatever you place inside here will be output as a visually hidden piece of text inside the breadcrumb so that the Schema sees an appropriate label along with the icon.
