Feature Request: Breadcrumbs Block for Rank Math SEO

[alexdeborba]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, Rank Math SEO's breadcrumb implementation is primarily designed for classic themes, relying on template, shortcode and functions. This approach lacks flexibility and integration within the block editor, especially when working with block themes and block patterns.

Describe the solution you'd like
I propose the addition of a dedicated Breadcrumbs Block to Rank Math SEO. This would offer several benefits:

• Enhanced Flexibility: Block-based breadcrumbs would seamlessly integrate into block patterns and layouts, allowing users to position them precisely within content structures.
• Improved User Experience: The block editor would provide a visual, intuitive interface for configuring and customizing breadcrumb appearance and functionality.
• Compatibility with Block Themes: Block-based breadcrumbs would align perfectly with the block-first approach of modern WordPress themes, ensuring seamless integration and future-proofing.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Custom Block Development: While creating a custom breadcrumb block is possible, it requires additional development effort and maintenance, and potentially introduces compatibility concerns.
• Third-Party Block Plugins: Utilizing separate block plugins for breadcrumbs might lead to inconsistencies in features and styling, as well as plugin compatibility challenges.

Additional context

• During the integration of Rank Math SEO into the Aegis block theme, I found the existing breadcrumb implementation to be limiting in terms of placement and customization within block patterns.
• A block-based approach would significantly enhance flexibility and user experience for those working with modern block-based themes and workflows.

I strongly encourage the development of a dedicated Breadcrumbs Block within Rank Math SEO to address these limitations and create a more versatile and user-friendly experience for those working with block-based themes and content.

I am following up on the feature request for a Breadcrumbs Block integration with Rank Math SEO. It is been a while since this was suggested, and I wanted to check if there are any updates or plans for its implementation.

This feature is crucial for enhancing navigation and SEO capabilities in block themes, and it would be a significant addition for many users.

Any updates or information would be greatly appreciated.
