I don’t know if this is related to the component itself Breadcrumb Links, or if there’s something else I can do to fix it?

Wrong breadcrumb for the sub category “Other Projects”

When I change the title for the same topic:

SCR-20250811-qqnp
SCR-20250811-qqnp495×154 11.8 KB

I opened all the other topics in the same category and they all work as expected.

I even tried to copy the whole content and title, create new topic, same result. It shows the wrong breadcrumb.

Now, I tried a bunch of different titles and it seems to have some pattern here, but I just don’t understand why…?

:stop_sign: = shows the wrong breadcrumb Home / General, unless something else stated
:white_check_mark: = shows the right breadcrumb Home / Tiago - Music / Other Projects

3ple 2015 - 2019 :stop_sign:
3ple 2015 2019 :stop_sign:
3ple 2015 new title :stop_sign:
3ple2015 new title :stop_sign:
9ple9 new title :stop_sign: doesn’t even show “General”, just “Home”
2ple9 new title :stop_sign: shows another category, “Home / Staff” (it’s not even the category’s number: /c/staff/3)

2ple new new title :white_check_mark:
3ple is on the way :white_check_mark:
p3le 2015 - 2019 :white_check_mark:
p3les 2015 2019 :white_check_mark:
New title on the way :white_check_mark:
New title 2015 - 2019 :white_check_mark:
New title 2015 2019 :white_check_mark:
New title (2015 - 2019) :white_check_mark:
New title (2015 2019) :white_check_mark:

I’m wondering if this could be some kind of glitch with Discourse itself and the titles, or the component?

While trying to fix another issue, I was able to make it work.
The solution is here:

If someone sees something that should be fixed/tweaked, please let me know, as I’m not a developer.

Thanks in advance!
