HI,

Oh, sorry for confusion. However, I have an active child theme. At least it says so in Appearance settings: “Active: X – Child Theme”

Hi Christopher,

I used the code from your post (https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/how-to-feature-product-category-in-breadcrumbs/page/2/#post-764836) and it almost works. It seems like it doesn’t give me a complete breadcrumb that includes all sub categories. For example…

http://website.com/shop/category/ produces ‘home > shop > category’ which is right

http://website.com/shop/category/sub-category/ produces ‘home > shop > sub category’ which is wrong as it misses out the parent category.

I will the breadcrumb to go deeper than above examples so can you help?

Many thanks,
Adam

Hi there,

The code only displays one category at a time. It needs more complex coding in order to display nested categories. A product can have multiple categories times the amount of child they have. Unfortunately, we can’t provide further customization. I tried it, but become more complex. You may also try 3rd party breadcrumbs that support woocommerce, you can simply replace the code with another code.

Eg.

 if ( $v = get_breadcrumb_category('product_cat') ) {
           $product_category = get_3rd_party_breadcrumb();
         } else {
           $product_category = '';
         }

Thanks!

I’ll also “vote” for breadcrumbs to work correctly properly for multi-level categories. Until then, this works for the category archive page and for single ‘post’ (ie. the ‘post’ type) pages only; rtl is untested, but probably works (copy get_breadcrumb_category() from earlier example):

function x_breadcrumbs() {

    if ( x_get_option( 'x_breadcrumb_display', '1' ) ) {

      GLOBAL $post;

      $is_ltr         = ! is_rtl();
      $stack          = x_get_stack();
      $delimiter      = x_get_breadcrumb_delimiter();
      $home_text      = x_get_breadcrumb_home_text();
      $home_link      = home_url();
      $current_before = x_get_breadcrumb_current_before();
      $current_after  = x_get_breadcrumb_current_after();
      $page_title     = get_the_title();
      $blog_title     = get_the_title( get_option( 'page_for_posts', true ) );
      $post_parent    = $post->post_parent;

      if ( X_WOOCOMMERCE_IS_ACTIVE ) {
        $shop_url   = x_get_shop_link();
        $shop_title = x_get_option( 'x_' . $stack . '_shop_title', __( 'The Shop', '__x__' ) );
        $shop_link  = '<a href="'. $shop_url .'">' . $shop_title . '</a>';
      }

      echo '<div class="x-breadcrumbs">';
      if ( $is_ltr ) {

Noted that! Yes, it would be a very nice feature.

[firatS]

Hi,
I also like to see sub categories breadcrumbs. Is the feature added ?

Thanks,

Fırat

[firatS]

Me too. I have 2 web sites with x theme and both need this functionality.

[Rad]

Hi there,

It’s not yet implemented, but it’s on our list. Please stay tuned 🙂

Thanks!

[Pyanfar]

I am assuming this hasn’t been resolved and none of the solutions I find fix it either, so a year later adding a +1 to the feature request. Shop breadcrumbs are a key customer navigation tool. They drill down and want to drill back up without using a browser back key esp on mobile.

[Lely]

Hello There,

Thank you for adding the thread. I have update the request for this. We will let you know once we have an update.

[salilou]

Here 1+ for this feature too.
Several commercial website projects running x theme need product categories within breadcrumbs.

[Rue Nel]

We appreciate your feedback! We have forwarded this to our developers already.
Once they’ll have this resolve, it will be updated and rolled out in our next update release.
