Remove "Home" link from Yoast WordPress SEO's breadcrumbs. Add to functions.php.

{
if ($links[0]['url'] == get_home_url()) { array_shift($links); }
return $links;
}
add_filter('wpseo_breadcrumb_links', 'tg_remove_home_breadcrumb');

Thanks for providing this. Currently it won't work because the filter calls a function that doesn't exist. If you change the title of the function from "wpseo_remove_home_breadcrumb" to "tg_remove_home_breadcrumb" it will work perfectly.

Dont't work without this safety check with trailingslashit

if ( trailingslashit($links[0]['url']) == trailingslashit(get_home_url()) )

If anyone else needs this here is a slightly updated version:

function wpseo_remove_home_breadcrumb($links) { if ( $links[0]['url'] == home_url('/') ) { array_shift($links); } return $links; } add_filter('wpseo_breadcrumb_links', 'wpseo_remove_home_breadcrumb');

Thanks, @mbacon40, worked perfectly!

Is there any way to change home url to another url instead of removing home link?

It's been a while since I have used this, but I think instead of using array_shift you could do something like this:

if ($links[0]['url'] == get_home_url()) { $links[0]['url'] = 'https://someurlhere.com'; }

You would probably want to use get_permalink() or site_url() to generate the desired URL - not hardcode it - but I think that idea would work.

This is not working now, maybe they changed something. Any Idea on how to change the link? I'm on the blog, I don't need the Home, I want the forst link to be the Posts Archive page.
