I am putting together a furniture website using various categories and tags via the woocommerce shop plugin. I have named my shop as “collection”. When I click on it collection shows in the breadcrumbs and if I make a category selection that is included to. Like this;

Home > Collection > Mirrors

If one of the mirrors is selected the breadcrumb loses the category, like this;

Home > Collection > George III Adam Oval Mirror

How can I make it show this?

Home > Collection > Mirrors > George III Adam Oval Mirror

Thanks in advance for your great support.

Regards,

Mark

Please switch to default wordpress theme and check if woocommerce breadcrumbs act differently or not?

Let us know about it.

Thank you.

I have switched to the theme “twenty fourteen” and this page;

http://jonathan-sainsbury.com.visionphoto.co.uk/collection/tables/adam-anthemion-pier-table/

gives me the breadcrumb;

Home / Collection / Tables / Adam Anthemion Pier Table

Which is how I would like X breadcrumbs to work, in X it is like this;

Home / Collection / Adam Anthemion Pier Table

Thank you for writing in!

Please add following code in your child theme’s functions.php file:

   $post_type = $post->post_type;

   $f_category = $f_categories[0];

   if ( $f_category->parent != 0 ) {
      $f_category_id    = $f_category->parent;
      $parent_array     = get_term_by('id', $f_category_id, $taxonomy, 'ARRAY_A');
      $f_category_name  = $parent_array["name"];
      $term_link        = get_term_link( $f_category_id, $taxonomy );
   } else {

Hope this helps. 🙂

Thank you.

For instance a product is in the category Mirrors, but in the sub category of Convex (which has mirrors as a parent).

Currently when you enter the sub category the breadcrumb goes to;

Collections/Convex

Can the custom css be changed so that it would read;

Collections/Mirrors/Convex

Edit to add: I original posted this on anther wrong thread and got the response that it required custom development.

Thanks for writing in!

This can be possible with custom development but unfortunately, the customization of it will fall beyond the scope of support we can provide. if you require more in depth changes to the breadcrumbs, you may wish to consult with a developer. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.

Thanks for understanding. Take care!

Surely it must just be an adjustment to the functions.php code you provided earlier?

Let me know,
