WordPress - How to fix WooCommerce breadcrumbs on shop category page?

php wordpress woocommerce breadcrumbs shop
ban-geoengineering picture ban-geoengineering · May 30, 2014 · Viewed 11.8k times · Source

In WooCommerce > Settings > Products, I have set "Shop Page Display" to "Show subcategories" - so that on my main shop page (http://example.com/shop/) only categories (and no individual products) are shown.

I have also used this code snippet to make the product categories show in my breadcrumbs as my theme uses WooTheme's "Simplicity" theme as its parent.

The problem I have is that the breadcrumbs are not displaying correctly. The breadcrumbs look fine on the shop home page... You are here: Home > Products

But when I then click on a category from that page, the breadcrumbs change to... You are here: Home > Chocolate

...when it should really be... You are here: Home > Products > Chocolate

To confirm the issue, when I then click on a product, the breadcrumbs look fine again... You are here: Home > Products > Chocolate > Vegan Chocolate bar

Does anyone know how I can fix the problematic breadcrumbs on the categories page?

As this seems like a bug, I have asked WooCommerce for their support, but they're not willing to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

Add this to your funtions.php file

function get_breadcrumb_category( $cat ) {
   $post = get_post( $post->ID );
   $post_type = $post->post_type;
   $taxonomy = $cat;

   $f_categories = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, $taxonomy );
   $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 );
