In the Journal theme, breadcrumbs may not show, display incomplete paths, or appear misaligned due to misconfigured settings, layout issues, or styling conflicts.

      • Go to Journal Control Panel > Cache and clear JavaScript and CSS cache to reflect any recent changes.
    7. Test Across Devices:
      • Check how breadcrumbs display on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
      • Adjust responsive settings in Journal Control Panel > Skins > Responsive Settings.
    8. Disable Conflicting Extensions:
      • Temporarily disable third-party extensions that may modify navigation or layout to identify potential conflicts.
    9. Validate SEO-Friendly Breadcrumb Markup:
