Customers generally prefer product breadcrumbs that show the steps it took to get to the product they are viewing, so they can backtrack easily.
Breadcrumbs, if you aren’t sure, are the row of links above the main content, below the header, that look like: Home > Catalog > Clothes > Men’s > Shirts > Blue Shirt
For whatever reason, WooCommerce wasn’t built with smart breadcrumbs. They look more like this: Home > Products > Blue Shirt
Not so handy if you want to go right back to the main “Clothes” section, eh?
Tom Harrigan was awesome enough to post on GitHub, the fix for this. It goes in your theme’s (your current theme, not a plugin) function.php (use FTP and back it up first!) file.
[php]// Add product categories to the "Product" breadcrumb in WooCommerce. // Get breadcrumbs on product pages that read: Home > Shop > Product category > Product Name add_filter( 'woo_breadcrumbs_trail', 'woo_custom_breadcrumbs_trail_add_product_categories', 20 ); function woo_custom_breadcrumbs_trail_add_product_categories ( $trail ) { if ( ( get_post_type() == 'product' ) && is_singular() ) { global $post; $taxonomy = 'product_cat'; $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, $taxonomy ); $links = array(); if ( $terms && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ) { $count = 0; foreach ( $terms as $c ) { $count++; if ( $count > 1 ) { continue; } $parents = woo_get_term_parents( $c->term_id, $taxonomy, true, ', ', $c->name, array() ); if ( $parents != '' && ! is_wp_error( $parents ) ) { $parents_arr = explode( ', ', $parents ); foreach ( $parents_arr as $p ) { if ( $p != '' ) { $links[] = $p; } } } } // Add the trail back on to the end. // $links[] = $trail['trail_end']; $trail_end = get_the_title($post->ID); // Add the new links, and the original trail's end, back into the trail. array_splice( $trail, 2, count( $trail ) - 1, $links ); $trail['trail_end'] = $trail_end; } } return $trail; } // End woo_custom_breadcrumbs_trail_add_product_categories() /** * Retrieve term parents with separator. * * @param int $id Term ID. * @param string $taxonomy. * @param bool $link Optional, default is false.
